He or she would review your main concerns, go through your family history, your health history, complete a complaint oriented physical exam, run any necessary lab tests and discuss a suitable treatment plan. Follow up visits are usually between 30-45 minutes long and the frequency of visits depends on what conditions are being treated and the treatments that are being implemented.
