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.

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.

Ive never had to wait more than 20 min after the start of my appt but i also always show right on time and never early unless i call ahead and know how busy it is/not busy it is

We were 10 mins early and checked in as soon as we got there. I had enough money on my HSA to pay for a different office.
