Where do we leave kids with for dr appointments if you have nobody to help.?

I had a dermatologist appointment today that I booked weeks in advance in early Dec, which I got off work early for.

Long story short - My husband happened to get off work late and I had no choice but to show up with my toddler. I'm well aware these offices aren't kid friendly however, couldn't reschedule because the clinic has a policy of a fee without a 24 hr notice.

I show with my child and the front desk lady doesn't say anything but just stares along with other patients. The wait in the lobby wasnt long, I was taken into the room and my appointment was obviously not what I expected because my child was touching everything in the room and the wait was about 10 min or so and began to get impatient and had a little yelling and whatnot.

Dr comes in, introduces herself, I apologized to the dr and told her the situation. She said it was okay but seemed upset from the getgo making me feel horrible. Now I'm conflicted whether to choose her for the procedure I wanted done but my main question is where do you leave kids when you have these kinds of appointments?
