Is this a scheduled appointment?
No. While you’re able to hold your spot online in the wait queue, this is not a scheduled appointment. The actual time you are seen will depend on several factors, including the number of patients already being treated in the clinic and the variety of their illnesses. We are required to see the sickest patients first, which can also affect your wait time.
