I really am beginning to think it depends on how organized and efficient an office is on the late issue thing. So many doctors and dentists keep people waiting long times -- up to an hour sometimes -- but at my ortho I never have to wait longer than five or so minutes, if I'm on time, which I always am. Based on that I believe that making people wait has someething to do with how the office is run, internally, and the vast majority of offices just assume it's OK to make their patients wait and don't "fix" their scheduling problems -- the fact that I have never had to wait on my ortho in the eight months I've been going there testifies that it CAN be done. The question is how to change that perception, because when you're waiting for a dr. or dentist you really are a captive audience and have no power.
