I just had to wait about an hour My appt was at 10:50am. I didn’t see the dr for an hour. I guess you guys are double booking her. It is not Dr Eckert’s fault. And she may have had an emergency call. I know money is the bottom line but my time is valuable. I had to reschedule a business meeting. I am a real estate broker and my clients then had to reschedule their time off from work to go house hunting. Thank you
