The time of my appointment came and went. Everyone in the lobby was taken back. I asked the front desk what was happening and they told me.. the doctor was just finishing up with the prior client.

It was now 20 minutes past the appointment time. I had expected the appointment to take 20 minutes or less. I had been there for 35 minutes.

I got up and left. I am sure I will be charged, but I was so angry. I know on some level that was foolish but lately I just cannot deal with people disrespecting me. You might say, well 20 minutes, but I have been in these situations before where the 20 minutes turns into an hour and I had commitments -- the doctor being late put me under pressure. You wrap up with a patient in 5 minutes. In 20 minutes you take a nap. I am so tired of people not being on time. While, at my workplace if I am 2 minutes late I get a ton of e-mails screeching, are we still on?

But I realize this is destructive behavior... now I can't go back to that place.
Hm. Kind of sounds unprofessional on their part. Maybe you could call them on the phone and explain to them what happened? Then you wouldn't have to be done with this place. You would have options, I mean, you could decide whether to stay with them or not.
