ask for the first appt of the day, or the first appt after lunch.
no one before you to take longer! this is my method for pretty much everything.

 

[themildone]

oh wow, that's crazy. i'd give them shitty reviews for that!
i'm happy to live in the middle of nowhere! the kids doctors office is busy, but they're fast. my GP is always empty cuz he sucks. but i love my gyn. in and out.

it's insane because I live in a town of about 11k people, so it shouldn't be this bad! I filed complaints with my insurance, but that's all i know to do, really.

Ok. Was going to say all of our doctor visits are like that as well. I don't go but when I take my kids we are there for at least 2 hours and 5 mins with the doctor.

I'm insanely grateful that the pediatric's office my goes to is much, MUCH quicker. Usually takes about 30-45 minutes, and a lot of that is spent with the dr.

 

[bxpretzel]

almost all of that is spent waiting. at both offices, i saw the doctor for about 10-15 minutes. It sucks. I pretty much don't go to the dr at all, I kind of just wait for it to be bad enough to go to the ER, because they're quicker anyway.

nope. All but abut 10-15 minutes of that is waiting.

that is insane, i would not go back to those doctors... ?!

don't really have a choice :/ I have to go somewhere within walking distance or somewhere my parents are willing to drive me...

who needs an entire day for one appointment? i've never had an appt last all day.

Going to a doctors visit here in certain parts of CA takes literally hours now. Seems like we don't have enough doctors for the population. I had a doctors appointment on Monday. Waited in the lobby for almost 2 hours, another 25 in a room, and then was with the doctor for 25 minutes. It's become a full day thing. It drives me insane.

that is absolutely ridiculous too. idk, move to somewhere less populated? lol i have never had these problems in any of the places i've lived! if i've waited too long it's been a one-off thing and then i just don't go back to that doc.

But I'm sorry. you just had one bad experience. they're not all so bad.

I love phone call hits because they usually pay pretty well...and I'm used to calling companies a lot to figure out how to solve issues. Its much more efficient than emailing and stuff.

This would drive me insane. My son goes once a year to Boston Children's and it's usually an all day adventure because of traveling time. His eye appointments take the longest because he has his eyes dilated and they wait a super long time for it to "kick in". After that's all done, they take pictures to document if his brain is swelling. But at most, we are there for 3 hours (and it's an hour or so drive each way - but heavily dependent on traffic). His neuro and plastic surgery appointments are usually super fast, I don't think it's taken more than hour. And these are specialists. I'm sorry you have to wait so long.

As far as doctor's appointments go @Binxybaby, she should have let you know about this way in advance. I'd definitely find a new sitter.

i just didn't expect a person to ANSWER. i thought there would be a recording and i'd have to press 1 to get someone.

This panda needs a boop to get rid of that RBF.

 

[Cara]

in and and out? eeehhh...

yes, removal and insertion of an IUD. its pretty quick

I actually live in an extremely small population compared to the rest of CA and still have the same problems. There's unfortunately a lot of reasons I won't get into since a lot of it is politically tied. And I would love to move, but it's not an option at the moment since I am helping take care of my disabled grandmother. Moving her is something we are working on, but is a nightmare of a process.

Yeah, it can be a bit awkward. I was surprised too because my first 4 were just automated responses.
It can also be really weird asking a company that has maryland in their name if theyre located in maryland lol

It's going to take a lot more than that.
