I've had seven medical appointments since the beginning of June. At every appointment, I have been seen on time or slightly before my appointment time. Why couldn't doctors be on time before? It was rare to see the doctor on time before, usually it was long after your scheduled appointment.
In most cases it not really the DRs fault.. but it is.. It the patents that were ahead of you. they have no one to talk to so when they get to the DRs they babble away. DRs is to nice to kick them out...... Now the Babble on's leave in the proper time frame...
Yeah, I've noticed that too, as well. Same doctor, same office, same staff. Two appointments since Covid break-out, and have been called in within 5 minutes of arrival both times Had another appointment with other doctor (eye specialist) and was seen time they unlocked the door and made my co-pay! ZERO-wait time. The dentist however...That is a different story...Two cancellations by them, one less than 24 hours prior...( I thought that if WE, THE PATIENT, cancelled with less than 24 hour notice, that WE were liable and COULD be charged. Same dentist cancelled several years ago while I was driving to their office... But I understood the circumstance...
I think most of it is the Doctor's fault. You schedule a 9:00 AM appointment and guess what -- you gotta wait an hour. Not really logical unless he started seeing patients at 5:00 AM. My dentist is fantastic. Schedule a 10:00 AM appointment, show up at 9:55, in the chair by 10:05 at the absolute latest. He can pull the wrong tooth for all I care -- I'm still going back.
Same here! My dads had a few procedures done since the beginning and it’s actually been much easier. KID
Wife is always late for everything. I think I have harangued her enough about the dentist that she actually shows up on time for him, If the dude is decent enough to stick to schedule, we should be polite enough to do the same.
