[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you are in the wrong here.  If working evenings and weekends was  prerequisite to being a pediatric healthcare provider, few would choose to go into that profession.  Certainly no one who ever envisioned having kids would do this.  Would you choose to work evening and weekends yourself?  How many of your providers have children themselves?

You are obviously stressed out and I empathize, but turning your frustration into irrational anger will not help the situation any.[/quote]

And just some more practical suggestions:

Switch providers.  Why stick with your dentist who won't let you double up.  Makes no sense.
First appointment of the day.  Get to work a little late, make it up over lunch.  My kids ortho has 8:00 am appointments.  Better yet, get your kids other parent to handle those sometimes.  My husband does everything to do with teeth.  Why is this all on you?
Saturday morning appointments.  My kid gets weekly allergy shots and I just called around until I found a nearby doc with Saturday hours.  
Don't sweat the schedule.  So what if your kid waits 8 months instead of 6 for a cleaning if it means you get the President's Day appointment.

I know some kids who have speech therapy whose providers come to the school.  [/quote]
