My Physicians, Dr, Dentist, even my pets vet are partners in my health needs.

I respect their time, show up early, don't blow off appointments, follow their advice.

In return I expect the same, don't make me wait for a half hour after our appointed time, follow up / check in with me if we are managing a current issue.

If I don't feel I'm being serviced properly I'll find a new doc.

If my doc feels I'm abusing the relationship he should feel free to fire me as a patient.

Even with best intentions on both sides sometimes **** happens.

If this is a one time deal then act accordingly.

If it's been a recurring issue, missed appointments, maybe it's time the patient was encouraged to find a new doc.
