How long is a Genetics clinic visit?
The Genetics clinic visit is longer than you are used to: office visits usually last an hour, sometimes more. Also, Geneticists see the patient as part of the larger family, so information about the family is important. Since the visit is long and a lot of time is spent talking, it is important for you to make plans for your children. Bring adequate diapers and formula for babies. Bring someone with you to supervise your child if he or she is likely to act out. It is very hard to fit you in if you are late. If you are more than 20 minutes late for the appointment, you may be asked to reschedule.
