[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No excuse for you showing up 10 minutes late to a doctor appointment and expecting zero consequences.[/quote]

Sheesh, 10 minutes is not a lot. There should be a grace period or a better explanation of why kid can’t be seen. If it’s a sick visit, they should squeeze the kid in. Have some sympathy for frazzled, busy parents[/quote]

It does sound like OP wants it both ways.  To be able to run 10min late to a 15min appointment, and to have the doctors have to stay well beyond their hours because everyone was running late.  Practices need to run on time to accommodate the next patients, otherwise late patients will either be unfairly canceled or doctors will never be able to leave.  It sucks that our healthcare systems makes it so doctors have to see 40+ patients a day for the economics to work, but when that’s the reality you can’t get off schedule and starting a 15min appt 10min late is off schedule [/quote]

My ped makes it work just fine.  Sometimes they see me 15 minutes early, sometimes 20 minutes late.  They get grave from me because they give it too.  I try to arrive 5-15 minutes early and I don’t think I’ve ever been more than 5 minutes late and the staff are perfectly pleasant every time I’ve interacted with them.  CP&A Capitol Hill.[/quote]

It sounds like your ped makes it work bc you are never more than a couple min late - which is great!

All I’m saying is that’s it’s nice when they can accommodate late people, but also understandable why they can’t given the economics of a practice don’t allow for open gaps and needs of other patients and the doctor to run on time[/quote]
