That's about right, I'd say. My former doctor was very upfront about it - he wanted people in and out and was prepared to move his practice because he had too many older patients (with numerous problems who want to chat) and it slowed his turnover down. Meanwhile my current doc will take as much time as is needed.
Doctors are like anyone else - some are good and some are rotten.
