I always request either the first appointment of the day or the first after the lunch break but often still have to wait. I understand that doctors have to juggle their schedules for emergencies, but here is what bothers me. If you are 5 minutes late for an appointment and the Doctor is ready to see you, your appointment is cancelled and you get charged anyways. If you are early but the Doctor is not ready, you might have to wait an hour or much longer and then the Doctor will hurry your appointment because they are running behind. Apparently your time and health care is not really what is valued?
