NWR, but anyone have tips for getting doctors appointments? Can’t even get a PCP. MGH isn’t accepting new patients and said to “check back later.” Can’t even get an appointment for a few months out. Looked at one medical but don’t know if I want to pay another $200 / year

Zocdoc?

Only one physician within 3 mi range of Boston and their office said no availability

Always takes a long time to see a new PCP but especially in 2021.
Have you tried any of the Atrius Health locations w PCPs accepting new patients? There’s one right next to back bay station and one in post office square.
If you need to see someone sooner, ask for an appointment w your chosen new PCPs nurse practitioner.

Recommend this! I got an appointment within a week

I had a hard time with this years ago when I first moved to Boston. At the time, my company paid for OneMedical and I was able to join and get a PCP quickly and more easily than continuing to hunt around and get told that practices weren’t accepting new patients. I’ve just stayed with them for the convenience.

If you want a promo code for OneMedical, DM me and I can give you a referral for $25 off the first year - not much but better than nothing.

Try Cambridge Health Alliance—I got a PCP within a week or 2 and they have tons of specialists affiliated
