It's standard practice here to help avoid the amount of people who fail to show up with no warning. They usually have "cancellation lists" patients go on who since there are often long wait times for appointments - this way they can fill the slot rather than lose money.

A solo T who had no office staff is different - you would not see this happen, at least not from my experience.
