My husband is extremely hesitant to go to the doctor's office for any reason, whether it's for a normal checkup or excruciating pain, he avoids it at all costs. I decided to go to Dr. Adams first for my annual checkup and loved her. She's really kind, personable, and non-robotic like most doctors. Her staff is super friendly as well so I scheduled an appt for my husband for a simple checkup. The wait time is ridiculous!! My hub's appt was at 8am, got here at 7:30 to fill out new patient paperwork and my husband didn't get called in to see the doctor until 9:20. He also opted in to get blood work done and after he saw the doc, they sent him to the other side of the office and he sat next to a lady who had been sitting waiting to get her blood work done since the moment we walked into the office at 7:30.
I get that doctor's offices have to verify insurance, overbook appts in case of no-shows, have very few rooms and only one doc on the floor, etc. I expected a total time of being here of an hour to and hour and a half but this is just too too long. What's an appt even for? I don't know how to fix things to make the wait time a tad less but please find a way. Good doctors are hard to find and long office procedures are a great way to drive patients away.
