Only once or twice I felt their “arrive 15 minutes early” was justified, for filling out paperwork at an intake appointment. Aside from that, “please arrive 15 minutes early” is just their condescending way of letting us know they don’t trust us to show up on time.
imo, they should make 2 appointments, then. One for the physician and one, 15 minutes earlier, for the paperwork. Or at least give a heads up when you make the appointment, instead of 3 months later when they send your the reminder text.
I wish they’d say if we have paperwork. I need to know if I should be panicking about unexpected levels of traffic or if that 15 minutes is going to save me.
I have to force myself to only arrive 15 minutes early because I’ve got the “don’t be late” thing where I’m usually a tad early.
Also, why give me a 1 pm appointment then, on the reminder message, tell me to get there 15 minutes early? I’ve got a schedule, too.
