Confirmation appt

My last OB saw me as soon as I got a positive test to confirm my positive test at 5 weeks (I do know this is earlier than most offices do) and then saw me at 7/8 weeks for an ultrasound. My new OB office says they donā€™t see you until youā€™re 10-11 weeks along. Is this normal or later than most?
