It is really frustrating but I've found that most doctors and hospitals have two systems. One for new or very infrequent patients. One for established or regular patients. The latter gets appointments fairly quickly in most cases.

It is rather messed up but One Medical (now owned by Amazon) and a few other services can be worth the money because they have access to the fast track appointment line.

I only know this because after many many months of searching for a primarily care doctor and waiting for an appointment I was told about this. New patient scheduling for my doc is months out. If I email and ask if I can come in next week they always say how about tomorrow/the next day?
