You're right. I think a lot of people on this forum have already stated that they either refuse to wait, or they find another doctor. I consider walking out on an appointment a good way to take action, as well as finding another doctor.

I remember back in the '60s when all veterinarians were first come/first served. It was a zoo, so to speak, in their waiting rooms. Terrible waits. Then a couple of vets in our area started giving appointments. Everybody switched to those vets. Voila, all the vets started giving appointments.

It's all about demanding customer service.
