[QUOTE="Star*, post: 307195, member: 4964"] Janet - The next time I'm in Slumbertown - You bet. I googled - It's 1 hour 45 minutes. There are a few tricks that you can use.....if you have "that" kind of doctor. - 1.) ALWAYS book the last appointment of the day or Book the very FIRST appointment of the day. Or find out what time they go to lunch (say 1:00 and ask for the last appointment. before lunch) Those are sure to get you either in or out quickly. I really think if you are that unhappy with your current GP and they are taking that much advantage of you? You need to find a really nice, caring NP (nurse practitioner). I have yet to mention my NP's name to ANY nurse or any other of her patients and not get a "OH I love her" reaction. I feel like I joined some secret society of well being. AND I feel tons better - and honestly - I've waited upwards of three hours to see a doctor - and for Medicaid for Dude and me? Don't even get me started -so I've paid my dues and then some. I just have nothing left in the mediocre doctor wait for me patient patience jar. Start asking around in your town, and especially ask other Nurses....they are about the absolute BEST in knowing who is phenominal and who is subpar when it comes to quality of patient treatment.
