Forbes has no compunction about being 30-60 minutes late despite these being pricey self-pay visits (even v. late to video appointments).

Made an hour trip to this place from Brooklyn only to get there about 7 minutes late and had to wait a whole hour until I decided to leave due to not being able to wait longer.
