A member asked:

What can i expect at an allergist appointment for over 3 hours?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

3 hours!: My longest appointment is an hour to an hour and a half, where i would discuss the symptoms with a new patient and if need be test them for allergens, mostly environmental. If it is a test for a medication or stinging insects, it can take 2 hours. 3 hours is a bit excessive! all depends on your symptoms.
