i don't wait. I get the first appointment in the morning.
sounds great in theory, but most doctors don't show up till an hour after their first appointment is scheduled

I do not believe your comments are accurate, as I have had many early appointments, in fact that is all I will take and I have never waited an hour, the most 15 minutes. That to me is acceptable.

So no I do not think MOST do this but as in every career you have those who are just crap, physician or not.

Appointments require a certain amount of time before the patient is ready to see the doctor. Depending on the type of pre-workup the patient gets from the RNs and such, the doctor usually walks in around the time the first or second patient has been triaged. Suggesting that most doctors wait until all the rooms are packed and the waiting room is full has not been my experience. Some do. Even plenty do. But not most.
