How long are you willing to wait at the doctor?

What is their reason why it’s taking so long?

I never pay the co-pay until after the visit and I am satisfied with their service

Your doctor must suck. Any good doctor in my area has a waiting list and has no problem kicking you out because you refuse to pay the copay upfront.

Depends on the pain level or the percentage of probability of an inbound catastrophic health condition.

Or I just don't really worry about it and read a magazine or surf the phone until I am called. I could be in England where the wait time in measured in weeks.

Depends on the type of doctor and what I'm there for.

When I had knee surgery, every follow up with the orthopedic surgeon ran about an hour behind. I got used to it. They also had a policy that if you weren't checked in by 5 minutes past your scheduled appointment, you had to re-schedule.

I rarely wait more than 5 or 10 minutes past my appointment at my primary doc.

Wife runs a doctor's office, so I get how easily they get behind.

It is an ortho and apparently everyone is handicapped in here lol

Go ask for it back and reschedule

They have a few more minutes and then I’m gone

If they hadn’t already taken my copay, I would be gone.

Go up to the counter and tell them you want your co-pay back and either reschedule or find a new doc.
