I have a few ongoing issues that require more than a minute or two of review. When I see my PCP, there is often a lot to discuss. For example, I was given a diagnosis by a specialist recently and saw my PCP to receive more information/get her opinion. We spent the full 15 minutes discussing the diagnosis, and I still felt like it wasn't enough time.
I am planning on making an appointment for my annual physical. However, during past physicals, there never seems to be enough time for my doctor to complete both a thorough exam and answer questions about my health in just 15 minutes. I always leave the appointment with unanswered questions and worry that the physical exam was unthorough.
From my understanding, booking two back-to-back appointments is frowned upon, as the doctor would only be paid for one, but doing the work of two.
My doctor is also extremely booked, has stopped taking new patients, and is already taking appointments for 2025. I worry that making 2 appointments would take time away from someone who may need it more than myself.
Would it be weird/inconsiderate to book a second appointment a few days after my physical for the sole purpose of discussing ongoing issues, or should I just try to cram everything into one appointment, even though there would be unanswered questions?
