Booking medical in person?

[VeeNDee 44]

Just a thought that occurred to me. It's been over a week and after using both email & voicemail, I still haven't heard back from Dr. Cheema's office and was really hoping to get my medical done before October. I live really close to the office and was wondering if you thought going in person to book an appointment would be an effective way of getting a response. Is it set up to allow that?

Can't hurt, they're undoubtedly open during normal business hours. If they give you any flack you can always let them know that you emailed and vmailed and didn't get a response. If you live close and it's easy for you, why not.

I sent an email yesterday for a different matter regarding pickup times and they responded within an hour. So it seems odd. I would absolutely stop on by and get it booked. Let us know how it goes.

I was all ready to go there tomorrow, but my phone just rang a few minutes ago - it was Dr. Cheema's office calling! So who knows what happened to my email - lost in the netherspace somewhere. But a week after a voicemail they called back. I didn't get my preferred day but am going in September.

For info the fee is $275 but only payable in cash or debit, nothing else. Also, apparently they have appointments only from 7am to 10am on weekdays at this point. I had asked for a Saturday hoping my fiance could come with me but they told me he wasn't there that day.

Your fiance couldn't come in with you anyway. He/she would be sitting in teh waiting room. It's quite a quick check-up, nothign to worry about. Check other people's reviews of their medicals

Thanks for the info. I had a feeling he might have to wait in the waiting room if he came but it would've been nice to have that moral support. Honestly I'm more worried about the medical than the visa interview since I have several chronic health conditions and the inability to take one of the required vaccines so I'm hoping for a waiver and getting my ducks in order with both the affidavit prepared as well as a long letter from my doctor explaining my current situation/medications/etc.
