"Efficient Use of Patient Time During An Exam"

About: Rejuvenation Calgary South

(as the patient),

Back in 2024 I had an appointment with a doctor at the Rejuvenation Center in South Calgary to look at some issues with my skin. The Dr. came in took about two minutes to examine my face and arms, he instructed his assistant to scrap the sun damaged areas, told me to use sunscreen (DUH!) and told me I needed to come back for a full body exam.

I booked an appointment for a future visit, when the date arrived, I drove the three hours to get to the appointment. I believe the full body exam lasted about two minutes at the most. So my question is, why could this "exam" not been done at the initial visit? I did not re-book another appointment.
