Table showing 3 emergency levels: Normal, Busy, and Extremely busy. Normal: Even during normal level of activity, our staff are often busy, and waiting time around an hour are common. Busy: As we get busier, the number of patients in the waiting room increases and the time you may need to wait for treatment gets longer. Extremely busy: When we are extremely busy, the waiting room gets crowded, and some patients may need to wait more than four hours to see the doctor.
