re: To all Doctors out There

They should only charge for it if they were ahead of schedule or on time. If they are behind on schedule as they typically are, then yeah a charge for missing is bs.

Also, not all places charge if you cancel or reschedule, but some notice to them is the correct way to handle it. Unless you get in a major situation on the way to the appt...which they would likely refund after the fact...I dont see the issue. You can switch doctors. I have cancelled/rescheduled numerous appts. over the years, even on same day of, and have never been charged.
