Is it necessary to make an appointment for the medical examination, or can my wife just show up at the medical examination place?

My wife's interview date is November 4. We used Electronic Processing, and the instructions on the Interview Letter and also the Medical Examination instructions aren't explicit as to whether an appointment is needed.

The Interview Letter says "Prepare for the medical examination" and "Bring this interview letter to the medical examination."

The "Medical Examination and Vaccination Instructions" for the Guangzhou Consulate say "You should make arrangements to undergo your medical examination and obtain certain vaccinations" and "You should arrange to undergo your medical examination at one of the designated panel physicians indicated below."

So, should my wife call and make an appointment? If so, how much lead time is needed to make the appointment?

Thanks!

walk in. If she goes in early in the morning, she can get the results in the afternoon.

No Appointments Required.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
