This study aims to investigate patient waiting time in General Practice Clinic and identify the main cause of the problem through patient satisfaction survey. 9,232 Patients were randomly observed and quantitative data such as arrival time and waiting time were recorded. Other 1,200 patients were randomly selected for satisfaction survey which is considered as qualitative data. The result indicated that average waiting time of patients was 175.87 minutes with standard deviation of 68.66 minutes. Waiting time at GP clinic appeared to be the longest with an average of 92.9 minutes and standard deviation of 43.4 minutes. Also, based on the obtained data, patients remained positive until their waiting time exceeded 2 hours.
