Waiting over an hour and a half is ridiculous. It is inconsiderate of my time as a patient. He briefly apologized but added "what can you do?" Here are a couple ideas: schedule less patients per day or add a partner! It's all about making more money, not caring about the people you are treating!

Super nice guy, but I don't understand why I have to go back for a econd visit to be fitted for glasses. I have been to other doctors in the past and was able to get everything done in one visit. Now I have to go back and wait all over again.
