In New Jersey, you can file a motion to compel a deposition if someone fails to show once. Nevertheless, if your attorney is not taking this course of action, it is probably not warranted. It is not out of the ordinary for doctors to have conflicts that require the adjournment of court procedings. In general doctors, have very demanding schedules. Additionally, they have to put their patients' health first. It is what you would want your doctor to do, so it is easy to understand.
Talk to your lawyer if you are concerned, but two adjournments under the circumstances you suggest is not out of the ordinary.
