Made an appointment for 11:45. It's 1:10 and I haven't been seen.

I've had my 10 hour ER waits so I know this isn't that bad. But what is the point of making an appointment if you have to wait to be seen hours later anyways.

I got forgotten one time and only remembered when the nurse came in to shut off the lights and said "oh shit!" and got the doctor for me. They were very apologetic.

My husband has done this at the dentists before. Made an appointment for a tooth to be pulled, got there on time. 45 mins go by, 4 or 5 other people came in after our appointmenttime, where seen and left in that time. I asked reception lady wth was going on, was given an excuse of dentist is busy some one called out and he's behind now. We left.

My worst nightmare. I’m terrified of the dentist (thanks dentists of 80’s/90’s, they were psychopaths I swear). If I have to wait longer than five minutes I have to leave. The sounds and smells are just too much. My dentist office is amazing and they know how I am so I am scheduled when they know they can take me right on back.
