Hard to tell. Appointments used to mean that you'd get in to see the
doc/dentist within 5 or 10 minutes of the nominal time. Now you're
lucky if it's an hour. You'd have happier patients if they didn't have
to take an extra hour off work to sit in your waiting room.
When you (generic, not personal) book 4 patients at 8:15 and another 4
patients at 8:30, it's no wonder patients aren't willing to cut you much
slack. Yeah, I examined the sign-in sheet.

A better solution for those who need a lot of work and/or live within
reasonable driving distance -- Los Algodones, Mexico. Just south of
Yuma. Prescription glasses too.
http://www.losalgodones.com/dental_index.htm
SIL and her husband recommend Connie Ayala. A group of us had a
humongous amount of dental work (crowns, implants, dentures, root
canals) done in a week by Jose Valenzuela. All told, an excellent
experience. I haven't had one of those since my GOOD dentist died about
10 years ago.

OMG!! Bev, you have hit the nail on the head!!! I never could
understand this sloppy, inconsiderate way of running an office whether
it's a doctor or a dentist. Is this what they teach in medical
school?? You've got the patient in your office, they need your
services, the hell with them their time is not important, stack about
4-8 in the office all with the same appointment time. I don't get
this arrogant attitude that the patient's time is not as important as
the doctors.
Perhaps it's because we are mere mortals?

I'm human too, and that means I don't care for the bum's rush from
someone I'm paying a lot of money.

I'm also one of the "others". Allowing time for inquiries on the part
of the patient are part of "fulfilling one's committment" for "high
quality care".
How many patients he crams his schedule with is discretionary. It
sounds like what you really mean is you don't want a patient to impede
your ability to get the cattle through the gate a$ quickly a$ po$
$ible. Screw their silly-ass questions.
> BTW, you can always go back to the HMO dudes/dudettes.
WTF kind of attitude is that? I'm paying what he's asking, it's not a
charity situation. I can see what mentality you're possessed of. You
don't give a fuck either.
Gee, hope you don't get sued or anything.
