took my cat into the vet today for a regular checkup. took 2.5 hours to get about 15 minutes of vet time... i'm tempted to go back to my former vet with the crowded waiting room. they were busy but got you taken care of more efficiently than the "fancier" place i went today.
I go to a "fancy" vet.
I generally wait about 10 minutes for my 5-minutes-with-the-assistant-5-minutes-waiting-5-minutes-with-the-vet session.
If they made me wait more than an hour and there wasn't a big emergency to explain it, I'd use the time to find another local vet.
(There's a great one -- cheap, too -- about 5 miles down the road, but with traffic that's another hour blown on the car ride.)
