Your Health Deserves More Than 15 Minutes Appointments
Think back to your last doctor’s appointment. How much time did you actually get with the doctor?
A landmark study found that the median office visit lasts just 15.7 minutes, during which doctors cover an average of six different topics. The longest topic gets about 5 minutes, while each remaining issue often receives just 1.1 minutes of attention
At RiverRock Clinic, we do things differently. Our appointments are typically 30–60 minutes, giving you and your doctor the time to address concerns thoroughly, ask questions, and make a clear plan — without feeling rushed. We offer both in-person and video appointments for your convenience. And the connection doesn’t end when you walk out the door. As a member, you have direct access to your doctor — call, text, email, or use the secure patient portal. No phone trees. No 30-minute hold times. Just direct, personal care.
