There are some downsides:
1) it's downtime (not a big deal for me, but might be for you)
2) you'll typically either have a med student (intern maybe? I'm not sure of the correct term) either in the room, or who does the initial assessment, but after that the doctor we have is really quite involved and is really good to us

I see a doctor at that same clinic and I love it. Having a senior doctor and a student in the same room is the best of both worlds. You get the experience and up-to-date education.

My previous doctor at the same clinic retired a few years ago and passed me onto a new doctor seamlessly. It was great.
