How long will all this take?

Although the total amount of "chair time" for the consultation is approximately 20 minutes, and we do not double-book patients, sometimes emergencies arise that can put our whole team behind by up to 1.5 hours.

If a couple of patients have serious issues, the schedule can be thrown off for everyone else for the rest of the day. We try to spend the time that is needed with each patient. Although these long delays are infrequent, when they do occur, some patients who have had to wait a long time understand that if they were the one having the problem, they know they would have gotten the extra time so they don't mind the inconvenience sometimes.

If things seem to be running behind and you have to be somewhere else across town for another appointment, please let our staff know so that we can try to accommodate your needs or re-book you for another day.
