Dental Appointment

I went to the dentist today. My appointment was at 11:30. Guess what time I got called in?? 1:00! I know any doctor's office you go to, they make you wait no matter when your appointment time is, but waiting for an average of 2 hours past your appointment time feels waaay too long.

The dentist had 5 chairs going at once, so one moment he'd come by to check something, give orders to his assistants, then the next moment he'd be gone. And several minutes later, he'd come back again. Having to see 5 patients at once, he kept having to go back and forth...so it took a total of about an hour for my treatment to be over with. I don't think this is the case with all dentists over here, but the dentist I go to has a good reputation, so I have to live with the long wait.

If you go to a doctor's office, even if you have an appointment, you still wait for couple of hours...so better be prepared to use half the day if you're ever going to the doctor's office or dentist's office here!

Although, come to think of it, once when I went to a free clinic in the States, I had to wait like 4 hours until I was seen.

Yo, although 2 hrs is long to wait for a dental appointment, that's about the minimum time you spend waiting for a dr.'s appointment here at least in LL. That's why I try to avoid dr.'s and dentists at all costs.
