I would recommend giving a little more than a 15 min grace period for appointment arrival. My first initial appointment had to be rescheduled as I was 17 minutes late due to stand still traffic from a wreck and had drove from Kennesaw. I understand how it can affect the schedule for the day, but it was my first time ever at this practice due to me relocating from another state. Dr. Whittier was fantastic when I finally had my appointment and knew what she was talking about. I would highly recommend her services.
