[quote=Anonymous]If I am in the waiting room, I check with the front desk after 15 minutes. I’ve had situations where they’ve failed to put my chart in the queue or a nurse in the back has made an error in calling patients to exam rooms. If I am waiting in an exam room, I’ll also stick my head out into the hall once it’s about 30 min. past the time of my original appointment. I usually cite an obligation that starts 90 minutes after my appointment time (business call, child pick-up, etc). So if my original appointment was 10:30, and I’m still alone in the exam room as 11 a.m. is approaching, I’ll say, “I’m just checking on Dr. X’s schedule. I need to be sure I leave here by 11:30 in order or be on time for a noon obligation.” I know that things come up in doctors offices all the time, so a little wait is fine. Routine long waits are a practice management issue.[/quote]
