Asking several of my friends that recently had children, they stated the duration of the appointment was roughly 30 minutes.
Thanks,

Hi Jessica,
The length of a typical check-up really depends on the clinic and patient. After the wait time and filling out the health questionnaires and screening forms, you will meet the pediatrician and discuss any concerns/questions and they will ask you questions to get a sense of your child's health, then perform a physical exam and talk about recommendations and answer any final questions. If there are lots of questions or concerns then it may take longer such as 30 min. But for a healthy child without any issues and you've been with the doctor, it could be more like 10 minutes. It definitely depends on how the clinic is run too!
