We waited in the waiting room for 15 minutes past our appointment time. And then waited until 30 minutes in the room just for the provider to see us for less than 2 minutes. If the scheduled time is not going to work for the provider, please don't schedule patients during that time. Our time is important too. I understand providers need time to catch up on paperwork, so please schedule patients accordingly.
