I arrived wearing a mask at the office 40min before my appointment. Although I had preregistered online, I was given additional paperwork to fill out and told to leave the office to complete the paperwork. I could return to the office 15min before my appointment and after the paperwork was completed. I was hoping but certainly not expecting that my early arrival may get me in early to the doctor. I would not have gotten there so early If I knew beforehand that an early arrival was not desired.
