I have found that specialist take more time with patients in the past few years.  That said, was taken back by nurse about 15 - 20 minutes past scheduled appt time.  Nurse took information 5 - 10 minutes and said I’d need xrays.  They do that there.  10 minutes later I’ve  had the xrays done and back in my room.  Knowing Drs are seeing additional patients, I’m ready for the loooooong wait.  20 - 30 minutes later, Dr Cartwright came in (not a bad wait) and we discussed my back issues.  He took his time with me and answered all questions.   My wife even liked him.
