My appointment for a consult with a new doctor was for 11:15. I showed up at 11:05 knowing I would need to do some paperwork. Finished the paperwork in about five minutes so now it's 11:10.
At 12:15, after inquiring and being told the doctor is still with other patients, I walked out. No communication up to this point such as "the doctor will be xx minutes, sorry for the inconvenience". Nothing.
My position - on time is great. 15 minutes is probably to be expected. 45 minutes is pushing it.
But I feel an hour's delay (with no end in sight) is downright unreasonable and inconsiderate of the patient's time.
Am I the one being unreasonable here?
Unfortunately, I don't have a relationship with this doctor because it was my first visit. So I just don't know if the delay was unusual or typical.
