I recently had a good dose of our health care system, as my old family doctor retired thus I had to find another one. How it works is you call in to a central office and they give you a list of physicians in your area who are taking on new patients. You can choose your doctor from that list, and if for some reason it doesn't work out or you end up not liking that doctor you can choose another, or phone that # back and get more referrals until you find one you like.
There are also many walk-in clinics and sports medicine facilities that take walk-ins where you can get seen by a doctor right away.
I've seen my new doctor three times in the past month (initial consult, physical exam, and of course the follow-up where they go over your results, x-rays etc). So far I have not exhibited any signs of having gotten tuberculosis :D
