Sounds like this would make a nice little article in your local newspaper. Is your insurance a PPO (you need to see network providers)? If so, I think this kind of experience should be reported to your insurance company. What would their response be? It seems like they need to add more docs to their ranks of family physicians if their insured can't find physicians.

Good luck with finding a doctor.
