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

I've been waiting a bit lately prob about 10 mins in the waiting room and another 10-15 mins in the examining room. My ped just moved into a brand new office space and I think they are just getting into the swing of things. I don't love waiting but I love my ped and she doesn't rush your appointments so I just suck it up for now.

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

Wow...maybe we should start looking around. It seems we almost always wait at least 20 minutes-a half hour and then another 15-20 minutes in the room after the nurse.

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

Since I have a newborn, I get put into one of the exam rooms almost as soon as I check in, but after that it can be anywhere from half hr to an hour. I can usually tell if it will be a long wait by the number of cars in the parking lot.

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

Never really in the waiting room - MAYBE 5 minutes. In the exam room - 5 to 15 minutes tops.

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

Little to none. We normally walk right back.

Solo practice, no nurse and no room.

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

depends on the day and if they stuck us in as an emergency....usually 5-10 min in the waiting room and 5-10 in the exam room. There have been times I only wait 5 min total. There are other times Ive waited 25 min. I LOVE DD's ped. so much though. She is worth the wait.

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

5-10mins

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

For a well visit 5 minutes in the waiting room and then maybe 10 minutes in the actual room. For a sick visit maybe 5-10 minutes in the waiting room and up to 15 in the actual room.

The doctor spends about 15 minutes for a well visit and 8 minutes if it is a sick visit (ear ache, normal stuff, but we have been there for over an hour with the doctor in the room with us for almost the entire hour monitoring DD, while DD had an allergic reaction. We were seen within a minute of arriving).

We are normally in and out of the doctors office and back in the house before an hour is over. It takes ten minutes to the doctor from my house.

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

Well visits:
5-10 in the waiting room
15-25 in the actual room

Sick visits:
20-30 in the waiting room (WITH an appointment!)
10-20 in the actual room.
VERRRRRY annoying, DH hates going there for sick visits.

5 - 10 minutes.

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

We are usually taken in within 5 minutes of our appointment time. But I think that is because DS is still so little.

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

Like 10 min in the waiting room and maybe 10 -15 in the room
Depends on the day though

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

10 minutes tops.

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

Usually we wait 10 minutes max. But there has been a time they squeezed us in and we had to wait 25 minutes. But I didn’t mind bc they were doing us a favor by squeezing us in.
