If you're going to keep people waiting for 2+ hours, let them know what to expect. I'm sure it's not pleasant to constantly deal with frustrated patients, but in my experience, it always helps to set expectations, acknowledge people when they are frustrated, and just apologize even if you feel it's not your fault. You're not the only people who deal with frustrated clients. Acting dismissive does none of us any good. After all, it's not your patients who are overbooking or mismanaging the calendar. I respect your time by arriving when we agreed to - I did not feel like my time was respected in turn. Clearly there is an ongoing calendaring problem here, and people need to be aware of that.
