When arranging an appointment, make the request, check the time and confirm the details.

The idea

Start with quisiera pedir una cita. Ask about availability with ¿Tiene disponibilidad el martes? and say el jueves a las diez me va bien if that time works. To change it, use necesito cambiar la cita.

Examples

  • Quisiera pedir una cita.I would like to make an appointment.
  • ¿Tiene disponibilidad el martes?Do you have availability on Tuesday?
  • ¿A qué hora es la cita?What time is the appointment?
  • El jueves a las diez me va bien.Thursday at ten works for me.
  • Necesito cambiar la cita.I need to change the appointment.
  • ¿Puede confirmar la fecha, por favor?Could you confirm the date, please?

Watch out

El martes refers to Tuesday in context; confirm the calendar date to avoid confusion. Tiene here addresses one person as usted.
