Significado
Scheduled visit for medical care.
Contexto cultural
In Greece, it is common to refer to any medical specialist (dentist, cardiologist, etc.) simply as 'γιατρός' in casual conversation. The 'waiting room culture' is significant. Even with a 'ραντεβού', be prepared to wait and engage in small talk with other patients. Similar to Greece, but the healthcare system (GESY) has made 'ραντεβού' more strictly regulated and digital in recent years. Private doctors often have offices in apartment buildings, not just clinics. So 'στον γιατρό' often means going to a residential-looking building.
Gender Neutrality
Even if your doctor is a woman, saying 'στον γιατρό' is widely accepted as a generic term for the appointment.
Romantic Ambiguity
Be careful using 'Έχω ραντεβού' alone. In a professional setting, always specify where the appointment is.

The 'ν' in 'στον'
Don't forget the 'ν' at the end of 'στον'. It helps the flow of speech before the 'γ' in 'γιατρό'.
