I read of a story a few years ago.
An attorney showed up promptly 15mins before his dentist's appointmented time. Checked in with staff and had a seat in the waiting room. Due to delay after delay he finally got to see the dentist 1 hour and 45 minutes past his appointment time. The attorney spent a total of 2 hours waiting.
An attorney's time per hour is just as valuable as a dentist.
The attorney went after the dentist for the lost valuable time.
The dentist caved and paid the attorney because it was cheaper than going to court , plus the attorney had a very solid case.

No waits at my Doctor's. I must be lucky. Or maybe it's how I schedule THEM.
I do make sure I schedule my appointment first thing after lunch. Most Dr.s this is one o'clock. This way I'm the first person on the list. Been booking my appointments like this for years. It also lets me trap, hunt and fish in the morning hours like I want.

There are some patients that have very serious problems, and the Dr. needs to spend extra time with them. Some just may have a little Boo-boo. Also an emergence may have popped up in the course of the day. Have some patients and wait for your turn.

It's not always about catching fish. That's what people who don't catch fish usually say.

I wish I had a dollar for every-time a plumber, electrician, carpenter, cable repair, deliveryman - etc - showed up late. The delivery guys and cable tv guys tell you they will either be there morning or afternoon. That means you have to be there for at least four hours waiting - and then they are often late. They make Dr visits look like a well oiled machine.
My son is a Dr. He said it is a pain in the butt when they have an emergency on clinic day and he is in the OR saving some guys life and miss 15 scheduled clinic appts and have to listen to all the complaining about cancelled appts and then have to work them into the schedule. He knows it is a pain in the rear end - but said they have yet to come up with a better way. It is a part of life. Doctors experience the same thing. Just grit your teeth and move on. Easy solution. I get that things happen. Everyone's time is important though too, so if we pay for a cancelation without enough time, then we get a discount for waiting too long or a doctor can't make it. It's not personal, it's just "policy".
