Yes in some cases, says Dominic Carone:
Where I have a problem is when patients are unknowingly and essentially forced to see a physician’s assistant or a nurse practitioner.

The patient shows up and after waiting for a long time because the office is double-booked, is then told that he or she will be seeing the physician assistant or nurse practitioner.
