Really it seems like an awful lot! Between vacations and speaking engagements and being ill it is probably 6 weeks a year. It seemed like every other week the secretary would call and tell me she had to reschedule, they all would be terribly sorry but in the long run it was one of the reasons I left their office and one of the reasons I havent gone back into therapy. I am going to start next month to find that elusive dr. that wants to see his patients at least everyweek. good luck!
