Generally, my pdoc appointments were about 15 minutes (and that is what he charged for). That seems perfectly okay since I don't go to him for therapy -- it's just a med check which honestly doesn't take long. I mean, even if went to my family doctor because I was sick, it wouldn't take much longer than 15 minutes unless it was something really complex. Now, if I was not doing well or my pdoc needed to make a major med change, etc., he extended his time with me as needed. I would guess our longest appointments in those kinds of situations ran around half an hour. I don't remember it every requiring longer than that.
My husband's pdoc does a bit more along the lines of therapy with him, so his appointments do run longer - around 30 minutes generally.
