Waiting lists for doctors can be long for non-emergencies. This applies to most countries with a public health system. Typically they are prioritized based on need, not money. Also arranging regular appointments weeks/months before allows for less downtime in the doctors office thus cheaper healthcare. It's annoying but it works.

Also Germany suffers from an ageing population which is why there aren't that many experienced professionals of any kind.
