Conversation: Scheduling medical check-up (Listen and Read)

I'm trying to find a suitable time for my annual medical check-up next week.

What does the doctor's schedule look like?

Let me check for you.

It seems Dr. Hamilton is available on Monday afternoon and Thursday morning.

Oh, Monday afternoon might work.

Do you know if there are any specific preparations I need to do beforehand?

Usually, we ask patients to fast if blood tests are required.

Did the receptionist mention if you'll need any tests?

I don't recall her saying anything specific, but I'll call back to confirm.

Do you know how long the check-up usually takes?

It generally takes about an hour,

including the consultation and any necessary tests.
