There really is no justification for it. It's part of the American healthcare experience. It makes them money to have no downtime between patients. It costs them nothing to make you wait. They book patient appointments with this philosophy in mind and it's incredibly disrespectful.

The same reason flights are always overbooked. They rather oversell and hope someone cancels than undersell.
