They will totally turn you away. Because of traffic I was 10 minutes late to my general practitioners office a few months ago and they refused to see me. I was pissed.

I wouldn't call 10 minutes "a few minutes"

Doc was behind already and had something after work they were not going to miss. Did they also charge you for missing the appt?

Docs could schedule in some extra time to better accommodate the eventual appts that run over, but then that doesn't maximize profit.
