I have a late afternoon doctor's appointment today and I am not too happy about the timing.
I much prefer to do all my "outings" in the morning as I am not so tired then.
I tried to change the date and time but the receptionist told me that if I did, I would have to wait until October to get another one, as the doc is going away for a few weeks.

I have no choice but going today as I can't afford not to see my cardiologist now.
Do you prefer morning or afternoon appointments yourself?

Thanks Abby @AbbyGreenhill, I just deleted the extra post. Not my fault, there was a glitch and it said "error", so I posted it again.

Afternoon. I do not like to get out early in the day. I'm a putterer and like to take my time. It's noon and I need to leav for a family gathering at 2:30 and that is perfect.

@marlina I totally understand morning appointments though, it's just now that I've retired I've changed.

If I had my way I would say no appointments with the doctor unless she is pretty in which case I would prefer an evening appointment. Just kidding . I guess evening appointment after your day is over is better than starting your day with knowing what's wrong with you.

@marlina Usually I prefer a morning appointment.But in the case of some doctors,I prefer an appointment in the afternoon when it is not too crowded everywhere.

@marlina Exactly.Even when we have an appointment for a fixed time,we do not get to see the doctor at the appointed time-especially in the morning.

I prefer morning appointments because I like to get them out of the way. I hope your appointment went well. :-)

It does seem after lunch is less busy in most places.

I hate getting late afternoon appointments and definitely prefer a morning one. Late afternoons just throw off my whole day

I like morning appointments because I am a morning person.
