Just curious how long the average person waits at the Doctors office (assuming you arrive on time).

What is normal?

Not too long at all. It all depends on what time you go/have an appointment for.

Last time I went I waited over an hour past my scheduled time. Gotta love universal health care + shortage of doctors.

<15 minutes on average.

I once waited for 45 minutes for a specialist, I got up and left.

half hour minimum.


Hold on, are you talking about the intitail wait in the reception area, or the second wait once they put you in a room but before the doctor arrives?
