I have asked patients why they come to the appointments. My question for you is is it worth dumping them? Are you busy enough where you would rather dump them and open spot for others. If they want to come and waste their time, if you are getting paid, who cares? On the other hand if they are medicare pts and you can fill spots with others i understand.

I would write a letter to them, certified mail and let them know that with their non compliance, it seems there is an inherant trust issue in the doctor patient relationship and that you think that they would benefit from another physician they can trust. Let them know they have 30 days to find another physician.
