Doctors are usually pretty busy people which often means that patients spend a lot of time waiting for their appointments. In order to avoid waiting to see your doctor, many experts recommend that you try to have your appointment scheduled at a time when there may not be as many other patients with appointments. This may mean going in as soon as the office opens in the morning or, in some cases late in the evening, depending on the doctor’s schedule.
Talk with your doctor about the best times to schedule your appointment. You may be able to avoid sitting in the waiting room for 45 minutes or an hour if you are scheduled as the first patient the doctor sees, or possibly the last appointment scheduled for the day. If you have a good relationship with your doctor, don’t be afraid to ask about scheduling your appointments at those times when he can see you without delay. You should also phone the doctor’s office before leaving for your appointment to see how long the current delay in seeing patients is – you may be able to leave later and wait less!
