Would you consider 12 minutes enough for a doctor' visit?

Not typically: Doctor visits have been getting shorter over the years as physicians try to see enough patients in a day..Due to decreasing reimbursements from insurance companies, physicians need to see more patients to make the same money, and the patient suffers. A good physician cane do a routine follow up in that time, but should also know when more time is needed to address problem issues.

Yes: It depends on the purpose of the visit.
