My appointment was for 10:30 am, however I was asked to arrive 15 minutes early to fill out paperwork ( even though I have been a patient for many years). I arrived at 10:15 and filled out the paperwork. I was done before 10:30.
Then I sat and waited. At 11 am, I told a staff member that the doctor was unable to keep the 10:30 appointment and would they like to reschedule? I was ushered into the exam room at 11:05. The doctor arrived at 11:10. The exam took about 10 minutes.
While I understand the doctors time is valuable, my time is no less valuable. To me, waiting 40 minutes to see the doctor is unacceptable.

First time visit - took a lot of time, reviewed information forwarded by my PCP, examined areas of pain, reviewed history, showed documentation of what was happening and advised corrective action. Answered all questions and made me feel very comfortable. So glad I was referred to Dr. Manzo.
