Southern Maine finding a PCP

Hello, if I’m in the wrong sub or if there’s a post already explaining this sorry and please point me to it.

I’m in southern Maine, trying to find a PCP. Nobody is accepting new patients, I’m told they are onboarding quite a few new people that will be PCPs sometime in the future. I have what walk in care told me was most likely an inguinal hernia that’s gotten worse lately and has been bothering me – not super painful just a weird and uncomfortable sensation when it bulges out.

When I call, anything in the immediate area is unavailable but they will offer someone with availability that is a couple hours away. I don’t have a vehicle at the moment, but I think I could probably find a PCP that is relatively close to the train. Would it be worth it to do this temporarily, just to get in to see someone and then maybe I could switch to someone more local when there is more availability?

I’m 37 years old and embarrassingly inexperienced when it comes to healthcare and doctors etc… trying to change that going forward and any and all advice/tips/whatever are greatly appreciated.
