[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 307167, member: 1514"] Star...will you come advocate for me? My GP is the absolute worse for this. It never fails. I refuse to do a walk-in appointment with them unless I am on my deathbed. Normally I make my appointments a month in advance. I havent had to redo my paperwork in a long time. Say my appointment is for 2. I try to get my appointments for just after they reopen from lunch. They can already have 6 to 8 people in the office waiting. Half are walk-ins, half are scheduled appointments. There is one doctor, one NP and one PA. I think! I can only see the doctor because of my scripts. I may get back in the room to get my BiPolar (BP), temp and weight by 2:45. Then sent back out to wait until an exam room opens up. That takes me till at least 3. Then I wait in the exam room at least another 15 minutes or so to talk to the doctor for no more than 5 minutes. Now my Ortho doctor...they are excellent. I have never waited more than 10 or 15 minutes in their waiting room before being called back and that is because I tend to get their a bit early. He has plenty of staff to see to you but he always at least makes his way into every patients room to at least see you before you leave. You know it is HIS practice and he is going to put his little touch on it. [/QUOTE]
