In my experience, they are often young and at the beginning of their career. They are still medical doctors, not to take anything away from them, but I mostly rely on them for referrals to specialists as needed.

One Medical removes some friction from the overall system, which as a non-American I find incredibly frustrating.

Fwiw some studies show that young doctors have better outcomes. Maybe because they have been to medical school more recently, when evidence based techniques were taught with more rigor. E.g. https://www.bmj.com/content/357/bmj.j2286. Now this study only concerns hospitalists, and it's just one study, so it shouldn't make you avoid older doctors necessarily. But definitely what there is no data for is a bias against younger doctors.
