[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doctors have reasons they are late, and so do patients. You should not assume yours are valid and the patient’s are not.

At least have your office call people in advance when you know you are running way late. And for God’s sake apologize to those who came on time and have been waiting for a half hour or more . And if you are going to charge those who are delayed, you need to pay your waiting patients when you are delayed. You are really not the only busy, important person in this equation, whose time has value. [/quote]

Do you want an apology, or do you want an explanation?

Doctor's reasons for being late are usually other patients, not their own reason. Are the other patients not as valid as you?[/quote]

You could factor such delays into your schedule, especially  since you claim they are common and to be expected.  Instead you book us back to back, because you don’t want to lose a dime of time. So we lose time (and often money). [/quote]

Do you know any places where you can get in to see your primary doctor without an inordinately long wait? Just curious. Please share the name, if so.[/quote]

Sure.  One Medical.  [/quote]

I can call today with an acute concern and guarantee to be seen today by my MD, not another MD, or an NP or PA? [/quote]

But what’s the acute concern?  If it’s something like a possible infection, they’re not going to waste the MD’s time when an NP or PA can handle it. [/quote]
