Can you use urgent care as a primary doctor?

I have to admit I don’t fully understand what urgent care is. I went to one yesterday, and the doctor was very nice and seemed interested and competent to take care of my immediate problem. It was a huge relief. As I sat in the waiting room I worried that he would not agree with what I believed to be wrong with me. As many of you know I have problems and big dissappointment dealing with doctors. Luckily (sort of lucky, because who wants to have something wrong with their health?) the tests that were run proved my self diagnosis in spades. No argument needed, in fact just the opposite, he seemed suprised I was handling it so well and asked me if I wanted a note for work, which I declined.

Our conversation went a little off the topic of my immediate needs and he seemed genuinely interested. I really liked that about him. What I don’t know is if it is crazy to use an urgent care as a primary doctor? I would guess getting him as my doctor is just hit or miss. How does that work?

I have been thinking about trying to find an internist, but I haven’t had the energy to do it. Now, I actually have a health concern (unrelated to why I went to urgent care) that has to be addressed, so I need to focus on it, I didn’t mention it to the urgent care doctor, I probably should have.
