My dr's office is pretty fast. I wait at most 15 min. and than the dr. usually comes in fairly quickly after I am in the room.

Re: Spinoff--How long do you wait at your OBGYN office?

On average, 15-20 minutes. There have been a few times I've had to wait longer and my doctor has always been very apologetic when that happens.

Yes, it is true that being an OB, doctors are often called out on emergencies, deliveries, etc. However, I think waiting an hour + every time you have an appointment is unacceptable. I see my doctor every 2 weeks for medical reasons and I usually go in the evening after work. His practice is a popular and well-known one too. I would lose my mind if I had to wait over an hour every time!

ETA: If you are waiting that long every time, it may not be the doctor's fault but mismanagement by the office staff (double booking patients, not spacing enough time between each patient or time based on the patient's needs, etc.).

If I go during the day (on an off-day) then 25 minutes or so (& another 15 or more for the dr), if I go late afternoon (after 430) usually 45-an hour!

Typical wait is at least 1 hour. It drive me crazy during my first pregnancy that I almost considered switching drs. Now I either take the first or last appointment of the day and there is usually no wait. Also I call ahead of time if I am the last appt to find out if the dr is running behind. Then I show up 1/2 hour late.
