I had a 945am appt, was told to be there at 845am. I was there on time (starving)and was the only patient waiting. I noticed other patients coming in and went right back after waiting 5 minutes. I ended up waiting over an hour in the waiting room and again waiting in the back room after being called. The other patients that had later appointments were done and gone before I went in for my appointment! Clearly, I was lost in the shuffle because they thought I was already in recovery when my husband asked how much longer on the wait! This would've never been acceptable at my hospital and under my care.
