Wasted MY time?

[kuhio98]

I always try to be the first appointment of the day. That way, they can't be too backed up yet.

My sister once waited 45 minutes for her dentist. He breezed in the front door in his exercise clothes. Seems, he had to get his workout in before seeing her. She got up and left and never went back.

Call about an hour beforehand - is the doctor on time?

Try to be one of the first two or three patients seen that day.

When you go back, tell the physician why you left today - your time is just as valuable as hers.

I used to work in a clinic with a lot of uninsured patients - they'd wait a half a day if necessary.

UNINSURED patients are less sick? or their time is less valuble? Your clinic bases wait time on wheter they had insurance cards?

half a day if necessary??? Was there like an office pool?

Just a thought

Haha. Good luck! Our dentist... GET THIS: first appointment of the day... and we were waiting 1 1/2 hours!!! Our desntist is horrible for that. Even if you get there early you are still waiting for AT LEAST 2 hours. Usually closer to three. Cancel anything else you might have that night.

In fact... the only time I've gone in on time was when it was an emergency... which shouldn't really count in the "good service" dept.

I don't mind waiting to a certain extent. But doctors are famous for overbooking their patients. I refuse to wait more than 30 minutes and will walk out without hesitation.
