How many patients on average does a privately practicing psychiatrist have? when they normally allot 30min for each appt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Docs differ: Every physician including psychiatrists differ in the way they work their practices in terms of hours, total patients in treatment as well as the nature of the medical care they deliver. For example, some psychiatrists see patients for both therapy and medication while others limit their practice to medication only and how time is managed.
