5 minutes early is fine.

I would say about 25-20 minutes. It's hard to tell - it depends on what cases the Dr. is working on before you arrive and he may be falling behind. But then again, maybe you might be one of the patients that he spends more time with one day while someone else is waiting 20 minutes for their appointment ;-) It all evens out in the end.

Get to the doctor at your exact appointment time. I do this now and I sometimes get in as soon as I walk in the door. I can say I've NEVER gotten in earlier by being early. At least you will minimize your waiting time. Besides its fun to walk right in and go back to a room when there are people sitting there waiting for appointments scheduled after you.

Ten minutes early. If you have to wait more than 20 minutes past your scheduled appointment, you need to politely express your concern.

Show up at least 1/2 hour before your scheduled appointment time.

Yup, let's hurry up and get to the doctor so we can sit and wait!! Your lucky if you only wait 20 mins. Last time I waited 45 mins. You should always be on time, because even thought they are running behind, they can bump someone if your late.

I was going to say to show up ten minutes earlier and expect to wait twenty-five minutes latter then your scheduled appointment.

always leave up to 30 min early depending on how far away you live. its better to wait only 20 min than another hour if you were late and somebody else was there and went before you!
that would stink.
