For Med Spa owners, time is everything. When patients are left waiting, schedules back up, staff get frustrated, and revenue opportunities slip away. The wait to connect with a licensed provider for a Good Faith Exam can either be a smooth, seamless process or a compliance bottleneck that slows down the entire day.
At Spakinect, the average wait time for your patients to connect with a licensed provider is just under 1 minute.
Why Wait Time Matters
Every Good Faith Exam must be performed by a qualified provider before regulated aesthetic treatments begin. If that connection takes too long, two things happen:
- Patients lose patience and may leave without completing treatment
- Staff spend valuable time rescheduling or apologizing instead of delivering care
- Clinical workflow slows, potentially delaying safe and timely treatment for other patients. That can result in lost revenue for your clinic.
Reducing wait time is not just about convenience. It is about keeping compliance efficient, protecting the flow of business, and building patient trust.

How Spakinect Keeps Wait Times Low
Spakinect was built specifically for Med Spas. Our system is designed to connect patients with licensed providers in 1 to 2 minutes on average.
- On-demand provider network: Licensed nurse practitioners are available nationwide, where Good Faith Exams are required
- Integrated systems: We connect with most major EMRs so intake data flows directly into the exam process
- Client portal: All documentation is stored securely and can be accessed instantly for audits or patient questions
- Flexible setting: Patients can complete exams in your Med Spa or in the comfort of their own home
This combination eliminates the usual bottlenecks and turns the Good Faith Exam into a seamless step instead of an obstacle.
Patient Experience: Speed Without Sacrifice
Quick connections never mean rushed exams. Once patients connect, Good Faith Exams are completed thoroughly in 5 to 15 minutes, depending on medical history and treatment requests.
Providers spend as much time as needed to ensure patients feel comfortable, questions are answered, and documentation is complete.

FAQs About Wait Times for Good Faith Exams
What is the typical industry wait time to connect with a provider?
Many Med Spas experience delays of 15 minutes or more depending on staffing. Spakinect’s average is just 1 to 2 minutes.
Does a shorter wait mean less time spent on the Good Faith Exam itself?
No. Exams are still thorough and take 4 to 15 minutes depending on the patient. Wait time and exam length are separate.
Can patients really connect from home?
Yes. Patients can complete their Good Faith Exam virtually, either from your Med Spa or their home. Compliance standards are the same in both settings.
How does EMR integration affect wait time?
By pulling intake data directly into the exam, providers start with the right information. This eliminates duplication and saves time without cutting corners.
What if a patient has a complicated history?
The connection time is still fast. The exam itself may take longer, but providers spend as much time as needed for safety and patient confidence.
Final Takeaway
The average wait time to connect with a Spakinect provider is 1 to 2 minutes. That speed allows your Med Spa to protect compliance, deliver a better patient experience, and free up staff to focus on treatments instead of managing delays.
With Spakinect, Good Faith Exams are never a roadblock. They are a seamless part of the patient journey that keeps your practice efficient, compliant, and patient-focused.
