I think the only time it doesn't happen is when a doctor sets up a new practice and doesn't yet have a lot of patients. Or else a patient gets lucky and shows up on a day when nothing unusual happens to upset the doctor's schedule. So then the patient goes around telling others that his doctor doesn't overbook, when actually it was just the luck of the draw.

Well I've been awful darn lucky the last two years with the two doctors and one dentist I've been seeing, plus the PT.
Of practices in MI--one local and four at U of M (primary, gastro, and two others related to a one-timeillness)--all of whom have been in business for decades, only one overbooked, the local one. Which is why I switched.
So I disagree with you. I've had plenty of experience with well-established practices.
