The length of an endocrinologist appointment varies based on the type and complexity of the patient’s condition. Initial appointments typically take longer, ranging from 45 to 60 minutes, to allow for a thorough medical history review, physical examination, and discussion of treatment options. Follow-up appointments may be shorter, around 30 to 45 minutes, focusing on monitoring progress, adjusting medication, and addressing any concerns. The time spent explaining the patient’s condition, discussing medications, and scheduling follow-ups also contributes to the overall appointment duration.
