My appointment was for 8:15. I was still in the lobby at 8:45. After going to an exam room I didn't see the Dr until 9:35. No one ever explained why it was taking so long

The MD and his scheduling team were not on the same page. At then end of my appt the Md wanted to schedule an angiogram via interventional radiology for which his scheduler had me put on my calendar for [...]. I took off work for the procedure, held my regularly scheduled meds for 3 days and had my husband take off work to drive me to and from only to find out Monday there was a miscommunication and the procedure had not been scheduled at all, so how I am still waiting to hear about a new date for the procedure,
