My policy is that I get paid my trip fee whether I notarize anything or not. That is made abundantly clear when they call. So if I get there and Dr. isn't ready I wait no longer than 15 minutes then I ask for my fee and reschedule. My time and gas are not free.
Charging them after the fact won't go over well so this time I would forget it. But when you call to confirm the next appt, let them know you will be charging your travel fee regardless.
