Quite a few doctor’s offices are owned or ran by a management group, partly to share or reduce their costs due to bureaucratic insurance companies and HIPAA compliance. Those same management groups use the doctors like a cash cow and attempt to shovel as many patients at them as they can because a venture fund is running the group behind the scenes.

Maybe in the USA. Dr Dropin is the only privately owned doctors office I know about in Norway, and they are generally not that often used

That's a funny name for an urgent care place, from the english "drop in appointment."

We have "legevaktå" for urgent doctor visits, so Dr Dropin isn't realøy needed for that either. Or anything for that matter. Which is way nobody uses it. It has to be paid fully out of your own pocket and it's expensive, and options exists.
