[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, this sucks that they told you they'd do it and now they won't, but it is kind of unreasonable to expect that this be done on a Saturday. I understand that's a hardship for you, and I get it, but there are just certain things and certain professionals that don't do weekends. Dentistry is typically one of them. [/quote]
But this guy WAS doing Saturdays.[/quote]

And now he's not doing Saturdays.  I had an emergency root canal on Saturday once.  For a scheduled dental procedure, I wouldn't expect to have it done on Saturday.[/quote]
But some of the oral surgeons/ dentists do work Saturday, therefore it is not unreasonable to think you can find one.
This guy did. That’s why she chose him.

I would find someone new.[/quote]

This. That would piss me off too. [/quote]

I think people are missing the point. He didn't cancel one appointment. He changed his schedule to no longer work on Saturdays. This would make me mad too. Find a new dentist op. This is not professional. [/quote]

So ... indentured servitude?

Once a small business owner sets hours, it is unprofessional to ever change them, even with advance notice that they are making a change?[/quote]

NP.  I generally agree with you that a business is free to change its hours.  But, if a doctor (or anyone else with prescheduled  appointments) booked Saturday hours, I think it would be unprofessional to simply cancel all existing appointments because he no longer wanted to work Saturdays.  I would expect them to honor the appointments  already made (barring some more specific and exigent conflict) and simply not schedule any future appointments on the weekend.  OP might still be pissed because she picked this dentist based on weekend hours, but at that point I think the dentist is well within his right to change the schedule going forward and OP is free to find someone else if she prefers.

I think this quite a far cry from indentured servitude.[/quote]
