A medical appointment is a scheduled visit between a patient and a healthcare provider, such as a doctor, nurse, or specialist. During this visit, the patient discusses their health concerns, undergoes examinations, and may receive treatments or prescriptions. Appointments can be for routine check-ups, follow-ups, or specific health issues. Patients typically book appointments in advance, either by phone or online, and may need to provide personal information, including their medical history. It is important for patients to arrive on time and bring any necessary documents, such as insurance cards or identification, to ensure a smooth visit.
