Due to a delayed work meeting, I found myself running late. I wanted to inform my family physician&#8217;s office of my expected 10-15 minute delay. However, reaching out proved to be a cumbersome task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, I called the Family Health Group office where my physician practices. I had to listen to several recorded messages, which took three minutes, followed by a lengthy list of IVR options. By the time my physician\u2019s name was mentioned at option 8, another four minutes had passed. I was then placed on hold for an additional three minutes. By the time I reached the office, I was still on hold. Out of curiosity, I remained on the line for 11 minutes, yet no one answered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does this scenario sound familiar? Many of us have faced similar frustrations\u2014endless waits, full voicemails, or unresponsive systems.
