Who has ever been to their family doctor's office and had their appointment on time? Certainly not me. I suppose I have a similar expectation of all my mental health care providers too. If this is a concern, one can always ring their doctor's office in advance to see if appointments are running on time.

I have another thought too as it sounds from some that their pdocs are in the habit of actually forgettng appointments. Is this not a fault of the office and not the doctor? Are not most offices required to call in advance to confirm appointments? All my healthcare people do so I just assumed this was a standard service.
