Dr. Chow has been my primary care physician for several years and is absolutely amazing. Best doctor ever, intelligent and caring.

For me, I think the time compression of appointments outweighs anything else.

The interaction is inherently superficial. It has to be based on quick and dirty heuristics because there isn't time for a doctor to get to know a patient, understand what they're experiencing, know when the cookie cutter approach is or isn't likely to work, etc. There isn't time for a meaningful doctor / patient relationship.
