Re: what's your average wait time at the Pediatrician ?

Usually about 5'ish minutes in the waiting room and no more than 10 min in the actual room, if that. They are pretty good about getting everyone in and out.

Re: what's your average wait time at the Pediatrician ?

For well visits never more than 5 mins in the waiting room and in the exam room. There has been emergencies with other families that come in, but still 15 mins was the longest ever. For sick visits with emergency appts about 10 mins in the waiting room, still 5 mins in the exam room.

Re: what's your average wait time at the Pediatrician ?

no longer than 15 minutes ... usually much less than that and then the nurse usually comes in right ayway and then dr about 5 mins maybe 10 but rarley that long.

Only on 2 occasions did i have to wait for i would say at least a half hour maybe more one time; once i was an emergency in so i expected it the other time i wasnt.

However they appoligized to me serveral times for the wait.

Honestly i will say i am surprised that i have no wait there is only one DR for the practice so i thought there would be long waits but it looks like they actually rarely ever overbook

Re: what's your average wait time at the Pediatrician ?

normally only around 10 mins in the waiting room and 5-10 for the Dr. there have been times we have waited much longer but they were obviously busy and it was a time I had to bring them in unexpectedly.

Re: what's your average wait time at the Pediatrician ?

About 5 min in the waiting room and maybe another 5 in the exam room...

I am in love with my DS's doctors!

Re: what's your average wait time at the Pediatrician ?

For a sick visit we were in and out in under 5 minutes with the visit and everything yesterday.

Usually it's about a 5 minute wait in the waiting room and after we'r in the room the dr is usually in within a minute or two.

Re: what's your average wait time at the Pediatrician ?

Wow, you are some lucky gals - I've waited up to 2 hours to see doc.

This is why i'm looking for new one in Queens area (Woodhaven, Ozone P, Glendale) area.

Re: what's your average wait time at the Pediatrician ?

I've never waited longer than 10 minutes in the waiting room and in the room..sick and well. Even when I call for an app't for a sick visit they always tell me to come right in & i'm seen right away. So important to me. Our last PED we would wait 25 minutes in the waiting room and 45 in the actual rm.

Re: what's your average wait time at the Pediatrician ?

No wait time . I have been there about seven times in the five months DS has been here and I have never waited, I hope is lasts lol.

Re: what's your average wait time at the Pediatrician ?

I switched ped's b/c of wait time... first one we would wait 1 hour in the waiting area and another 30 mins inside the room. Now, we only wait 5 mins in the waiting room and another 5 once in the room (much smaller practice).

Re: what's your average wait time at the Pediatrician ?

an hour each time.

i've waited up to 2 hours, not once but twice.

Re: what's your average wait time at the Pediatrician ?

At my ped here on LI never more than 5 minutes in the waiting room and the exam room. I've only been for well visits though, not sure if it would be different for last minute sick visits.

At my ped in Manhattan I waited over an hour. I was so ticked b/c I had a one week old and wasn't supposed to be out of the house after my c-section. Thank god we moved when DS was 5 weeks old otherwise I certainly would have switched offices.

Re: what's your average wait time at the Pediatrician ?

Usually only 5 minutes in waiting room- but then up to 2 hours in exam room. Most of the time the wait is 1 hour and 15 minutes- this is even with a newborn. This is a large practice and there is always an excuse. I finally have decided to switch. It is not fair to my kids to wait this long.

Re: what's your average wait time at the Pediatrician ?

Average, 5-10 min in waiting room and like 20 in the room.

Sometimes, like early morning and towards closing, he runs slower and we wait a while.

The longest we waited was an hour and 10 minutes in just the waiting room and another hour in the room. That was due to the new reception double booking or something. It was crazy. At the time the ped had a small office and so he ran out of room and seats. It was CROWDED and people were losing it.

Re: what's your average wait time at the Pediatrician ?

My old per - over an hour...my new per 5/10 min

Re: what's your average wait time at the Pediatrician ?

5 minutes in the waiting room. 5-10 minutes in the room waiting for the dr.

Re: what's your average wait time at the Pediatrician ?

definitely depends on the time of day- they have walk in hours in the early am 8-9 so in the morning 30 minutes and then 5 in the room

afternoons/late nights are so much better- 5/10 in the waiting room 5/10 in the room

Re: what's your average wait time at the Pediatrician ?

Usually about 5 min......I think once I waited 10 in the room.

Re: what's your average wait time at the Pediatrician ?

Around 5 min or so.. they are like a factory.

Re: what's your average wait time at the Pediatrician ?

Never even wait in the waiting room. Then maybe 5 mins in the exam room

My Ped doesn't like to have newborns waiting out in the waiting room so they always have a room waiting for us

Re: what's your average wait time at the Pediatrician ?

2-3 min in waiting room ( sometimes we don't even have a chance to sit down)
5 min once we get in the room.

Re: what's your average wait time at the Pediatrician ?

wow I would never wait an that long at a peds office (exception to that rule...I had no appointment and the nurse told me there would be a long wait)
5-15minutes is the longest


obgyn thats a whole nother story!
