Most people know they can avoid the wait with an early-morning appoint at 8:00am (or whenever the doctor starts seeing people), but few consider the 1:00pm slot — after lunch. Not only do you have a convenient opportunity to visit the doctor during a lunch break, but you can avoid getting back late because you’ll skip the wait. Bartmycbartbart offers a few other nuggets of advice as well:
Does the office have multiple doctors? Schedule with the newest partner or youngest doctor. They tend to have more open schedules and get less bogged down by Electronic Medical Records. Also, they are probably more concerned with getting and keeping repeat patients.
Keep those tips in mind before you book your appointment.
