Just a thought.....
I too have felt annoyed at waiting long past my appointment time. However, I began to realize that once the doctor came in, he/she took all the time with me that was needed. That time element can't be predicted from patient to patient.

I wouldn't want a cut-off time with my specialist, just so he/she could stay on schedule. That would be MY cue to exit.....

But if the Doc is running way behind, it would be considerate to have a head's up when you arrive. Most times, if MY time is limited, I'll ask politely when I sign in if that will be a problem. I've never had them NOT be honest about how the flow is going.
Better than getting my knickers in a twist.
