This is a pet peeve of mine. I recently left my gyn office because of bad customer service, including typical hour-long waits (I just blogged about my horrifying experience at the new gyn office if you're remotely interested). I think doctor's offices don't really think of patients as customers and therefor just really don't care how crappy they treat you. I was so annoyed by the old gyn's office (not the doctor herself, mind you, the rest of the practice) because they called me to reschedule from 3:00 pm to 2:00 pm, and I accommodated them. I didn't get back to the exam room until nearly 4:00pm. It was another 45 minutes before I actually saw the doctor.
Either scheduling is way more complicated than I can comprehend or they're just generally terrible and don't care about wasting your time. Hmph!
Ok, that's enough venting!
