I see my Pdoc once a month. Now that my moods are stabilized, I have the option to see him once every 6-8 weeks. I'm dx Bipolar Disorder, if that matters. The appointments are usually 20 minutes in length and it is basically just a med check. I've never talked to him on the phone personally, I have talked to nurses and staff on the phone and they return phone calls within the hour.
I'd say if you feel the appointment is not necessary, call and cancel. Also, when your Pdoc tries to reschedule, just say that you feel it is unnecessary to see him/her that often. And say when you think a better appointment schedule will be. If you are doing fine, I'm sure s/he will agree.
