PCP wait in Chattanooga, TN: 21 days. Skip the wait.
Online visit today — reviewed by a Tennessee-licensed clinician, typically under 24 hours.
Chattanooga is a Partial HPSA. New-patient primary care appointments average 21 days locally — and brick-and-mortar directory sites can't fix that because there's no provider inventory to book. Ondoc's behind-the-scenes panel of board-certified clinicians has no such limit: the same prescribers serving Tennessee metros serve Chattanooga.
HRSA designates Chattanooga as a Partial HPSA. There aren't enough local PCPs taking new patients to populate a meaningful directory — that's the definition of a shortage area. An online clinician panel sidesteps the inventory problem entirely: the prescriber doesn't need to be physically in Chattanooga, only licensed in Tennessee.
