I'm surprised this article doesn't mention "Urgent Care," which appears to serve the exact role implied by the title: seeing a doctor without waiting a long time.
Yeah it's to the point where in many cases you're better off not even bothering with a primary care doctor.
The quality of care is no worse at urgent care and you can typically make a same day appointment with the doctor if your choice. Yes they rush you through but so does primary care. Maybe in the past it was different.
Downside is that it may carry a higher deductible (for no good reason).
