Re: How much time does your OB spend with you during a check up?
About 5-10 minutes depending if there is anything to discuss. I went into her office during my first visit and she gave me a run down of dos and don'ts during pregnancy, but now for my routine exams, I am in and out with her and I personally like that. She knows everything about me and my previous pregnancy since she delivered my son. After the exam, we chat briefly and I'm out on my merry way. She is very attentive to my questions and concerns and will promptly return my phone calls, but if there is nothing to discuss we're done in less than 5 minutes.

5 minutes TOPS.
Wait is anywhere from 15-30 mins in the waiting room. Then another 15-30 in the exam room before them come in for the 3-5 minute exam.

Re: How much time does your OB spend with you during a check up?
I never feel rushed. The regular appointment doesn't take very long, but I usually don't have any questions or concerns.

Re: How much time does your OB spend with you during a check up?
Luckily he meets me within 5 minutes.. but you're right.. I wonder why they don't just answer them in the exam room??

Re: How much time does your OB spend with you during a check up?
5-10 minutes. I go to a practice with more than one doctor so I've seen a few different drs. so far, but they always seem kind of rushed. At my last appt. my drs' phone started to ring and he was like "Sorry I have to take this" I didn't mind at all since I figured it must be another patient going into labor or something...turned out it was a personal call  I was shocked! Isn't that incredibly unprofessional????

Re: How much time does your OB spend with you during a check up?
One OB in the practice sees me for like 5 mins or less each appt....I ask her questions and I dont always get answers. its so weird! She just smiles and giggles. She;s sweet, but c'mon!
The other OB takes about 10 mins and chit chats with me afterwards (about the baby and any questions I may have).
Obviouslt OB #2 is my pick..I hope she is the one who delivers my baby!

I have seen 5 at the office and 4/5 spend a considerable time with me to talk about whats happening and only once was I in/out 5 min. she is new to the practice and I never met her before. I love my OB/GYN practice.

Re: How much time does your OB spend with you during a check up?
Depends really. Most of the time I dont really need them to spend that much time with me.
If the doctor is patient and answers my questions, when I have them, then Im cool.
But if you're doctor appears to not remember, or make notes of what has already been discussed, I'd be concerned.
