RE:MediCallHow many patients do most doctors see in a day? The ideal average patient load for a primary care provider has been estimated at 1,000; however, many physicians say the reality is around 2,500. One organization, the American Association for Physician Leadership, says the number is closer to 3,000.Jul 25, 2022. . . This is why i questioned the post about 300 clients. Your primary care doctor has many times that amount. Go to any doctors office and you will see shelfs full of charts. If those clients are businesses that makes more economic sense
