They overbook appointments and pile you in their waiting rooms.

I recently switched primary care docs. New doc I made a mid morning appt.

Showed up about 5 minutes early, they handed me the paperwork, I started it, they called me back to the back waiting room and collected my copay, I sat back down and started completing the paperwork, I got called to a room, started the paperwork again, nurse came in and actually asked me real questions, she left and I started on paperwork again....Doc comes in, takes about 5-8 minutes with me, goes over everything, does a physical exam...stepped in next room to take blood for labs. Had to sit in lobby to fill out the 5 minutes of paperwork that I never completed.

Called with lab stuff a couple days later and he went over a couple things.

Script was sent to correct pharmacy, everything was perfect.

Was there a total of about 15 minutes. I have never seen such efficiency in a Dr. office.
