Do you have a Doctor who only spends 5 minutes with you?

My Doctor spends 3 to 5 minutes in the room with me. As my problems have gotten progressively worse she will say, I'm not worried and walk out the door.
I waited 3 mths for an appointment with a new doctor today and was left in the waiting room with people with no appointment. One man was told the wait time was 2 hours. I waited 45 minutes and left. This was a good indication to me how I would be treated at this Medical Clinic. Would you have waited 3 months and then walked out? Do you think the receptionist even cared that I walked out, do you think she will even tell the doctor why I walked out or is it easier for her to say nothing at all.

I did have a doctor like that. Moreover, when I asked about concerns that had come up since I’d made the appointment, she replied, "make another appointment and we’ll discuss that." No, thank you. I put in a request for another doctor and looked seriously at her patient reviews (which I’ve since started doing with all of them). Had I done it initially, she would never have been my doctor. She was eventually asked to leave that practice.
