Unfortunately, our current medical situation makes it very difficult for potential doctors to even get into medicine...cost of years of schooling, long hours of being underpaid as a resident. Then, if you want to set up a practice, the cost of a physical address, insurance, scads of paperwork all make it almost impossible. Most promising young doctors end up joining a conglomerate in which they are restricted by tons of rules and regulation, often restricting how long they can see a patient.
I saw a private practice neurologist in our previous state. On my first visit she spent an hour and a half going over everything. An hour and a half. Most neurologists (or any doc) in a group will spend fifteen minutes with you.... tops.
