Spinoff--How long do you wait at your OBGYN office?
Another post I read just got me curious... How long do you typically end up sitting in the waiting room at your OBGYN's office? It seems like they all keep us waiting, but we don't really have any other alternatives!
My typical wait is about an hour... and thats just to get into the exam room... I wait even longer once I'm in there too!!!

Re: Spinoff--How long do you wait at your OBGYN office?
depends....Some days 20 minutes....Some times up to an hour.
Usually the longer wait.
I chalk it up to them delivering babies ( which cannot be planned) and seeing patients and its inevitable. I wouldnt allow it at any other Dr's office ...
i see a private Dr, so the wait is longer. If your in a practice...I think they should accomadate you with another Dr if available . If theres 5 dr's in the practice and only 1 working, thats silly.

I'd say I've waited about 10min and once in the exam room the doc came in right away.

Re: Spinoff--How long do you wait at your OBGYN office?
Depends on who I see. If I see my OB I could wait for ever. If I see the NP (which is what I usually do) it isn't too bad.
I also try to go during the day on a weekday.

I go on the weekdays (I take my dd) - I usually have to wait 25-30 mins before I actually see the dr.

My wait was usually an hour because I usually got the last appt at night at at times she was backed up.

On a really busy night it might be about 20 minutes but usually within 5 - 10 minutes I am seen.

Re: Spinoff--How long do you wait at your OBGYN office?
I usually have night appointments when they are the busiest - I only see an MD never a NP. I wait 30 to over an hour (but that was b/c I also needed a sono) my doctor spends 15-30 mins with me though (visit, sono and talk) so I don't mind the wait.

Re: Spinoff--How long do you wait at your OBGYN office?
anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour. My Dr. does not rush anyone who needs extra time with her, so I know that she would do the same for me when I need it.

Re: Spinoff--How long do you wait at your OBGYN office?
The wait is definitely longer if I make an evening appointment. I made evening appts the last two times and had to wait 1/2 hour +.
My mid-afternoon appts have been on-schedule.

Re: Spinoff--How long do you wait at your OBGYN office?
Mine has a note saying that my doc is notoriously late- she spends as much time with you as you need which is great- BUT you can call ahead and see how late she is running. I never wait more than 15 minutes now that I call.

that's what I always think too. Today I heard my MW talking to the hospital on the phone about a patient who just got there. My last appoint she ran out the door before I finished making my next appoint.
With my first I was late - and so were 3 other girls all at the same time, so we had to wait 3 hours for the nonstress test. The receptionist actually told us to go out shopping and have dinner and come back!!!

This is my problem too. The first time I went, I didn't have to wait at all because I went during the day.

Re: Spinoff--How long do you wait at your OBGYN office?
maybe 15-20 mins
The only time I waited longer was bc I had the 1st appt and she was called in early in the morning to deliver a baby.
