Question

What is the average time a doctor spends face to face with a patient? and how many patients do they see a day?

Answer 1

The average doctors visit is 15 to 20 minutes and can usually see about 30 to 32 a day depending on the day

Answer 2

Typically a physician should spend at least 15 mintues with a patient. However most physician are not doing this. On a average day the doctor will see roughly between 25-30 patients a day. Figure 15 mintues increments x 8 hours that leaves you with a mean of 32 patients.
