This is the first time Dr. Peairs was late for my appointment. She immediately apologized and again at the end of the appointment. I knew her work involves managerial, research and other functions--valid reasons to be off-schedule. I am more than willing to wait for someone like Peairs who has built an outstanding reputation in her field. I am not, however, likely to wait more than 10 minutes for a doc who does not have that work ethic.
