My appointment was at 3:00. I arrive at 2:50. I asked at check in if he was running late and was told he was about 20 minutes behind. At 4:10 I was finally taken to an exam room. At 4:25 Dr Araghi came in and at 4:30 I was checking out. You need to quit overlooking, show respect to your patients by managing your time better. I won't do this again. I will leave after 20 minutes. You can respect my life and my schedule.

My surgery went very well. However, have to wait 1.5 hours past my appointment time and getting no more than 3 minutes with the Dr is extremely disappointing.

He may run late with his appointments but it’s only because he spends time with his patients. He makes sure all your questions are answered and you are comfortable with the decision.
