What is your biggest Doctor's office pet peeve? Mine is waiting a second time in the exam room after waiting first in the waiting room. Sometimes it is quite awhile. I mean, I could of finished the magazine I was reading in the waiting room by the time I finally see the doctor and get examined. Why the second wait? If the doctor is still with another patient, then let me stay out in the outer waiting room until he's ready. It is much more comfortable out there instead of sitting on an examining room table? What is your pet peeve/complaint about your Doctor's office visits? Perhaps you might of even had a horrible experience. Photo- cnn.com

Yes, you go to the doctor to get well, but your exposed to more germs and illness. Pretty ironic! Crowded waiting rooms are definitely not fun

That's a good one! Doctors are in such a rush to get patients in and out because of the number of sick people awaiting treatment. The days of TV docs like Marcus Welby are long gone.

We do not have the second waiting time, usually the first waiting is never long. I cannot think to anything negative.

@dgobucks226 I had a problem while visiting the United States (Miami), I am glad that I had subscribed an insurance in Europe.

When you ask them something perfectly normal and they come out with a different answer altogether that has nothing to do with you. Another one is when you tell them everything and its like I have not heard what you have said and the waiting is unbearable sometimes here also.

Maybe next time you should take your magazine in with you.

Mine is the same. Except I am in a room alone and seems like they forgot about me.
