Benefits of Concierge Medicine How long do you typically wait to get in to see your doctor? And when the day of your appointment finally arrives, how long do you sit in the waiting room? Your answers may depend on whether you needed a sick-person appointment or a routine exam. But chances are your wait times are unacceptably long. On average, it’s estimated that 60% of people wait two weeks to get in to see their primary care provider. If you need a specialist, the earliest appointment could be several months down the road.
