This episode is about how to make an appointment with your doctor or some medical professional by calling them on the phone. It’s going to give a lot of vocabulary related to hospitals and doctors and medical appointments. Let’s get started.

I needed to make an appointment with a doctor so I called my health plan’s phone number for new patients. Before I could schedule my appointment, I had to listen to several recorded messages to be routed to the right medical office.
