Is it common for a physical or occupational therapist to see several patients at one scheduled appointment time rather than work exclusively one-on-one with them? am concerned i may not be getting the best care due to that?

Q: is it common for a physical or occupational therapist to see several patients at one scheduled appointment time rather than work exclusively one-on-one with them? am concerned i may not be getting the best care due to that?

: For the first evaluation, it should be one to one. But I guess for a revisit with supervised practice, a physical therapist can work with several patients at one time, almost like when we practice martial-arts with one master.
