If I had a practice of any sort, I'd boost revenue and offset the fixed costs of the infrastructure by seeing patients over a longer hours. Rather than building a bigger facility, I'd just spread out appointments over a longer time-frame and offer hours more compatible with people's needs.
I've thought the same thing but I also understand how difficult it is to get people willing to work an odd shift. For banks something like 11am to 8pm would be ideal but who would work that shift? You would never see your family.

2nd shift is the hardest to staff in a factory.

3rd isn't too bad and a lot of people prefer it to 1st. You work 10pm to 6am, come home and sleep, and then get up when the family comes home from work and school. You can also get a bunch of things done because everything is open when you are home.
