You'll have to call from 8 to 6 and ask for an appointment.

Y yo estaba como: "¿Bueno, debería sacar un turno... en algunas semanas?"
And I was like, "Okay, well, should we make an appointment for a few weeks from now?"

Thank you, Muriel :-)
agree AllegroTrans : This works better than the other answers since we don't know who is saying this (i.e. the patient or the hospital)

I've never heard either 'request' or 'schedule' an appointment. Thank you, AllegroTrans :-)

Thanks, Veronica.
neutral AllegroTrans : "I have to schedule an appointment" sounds very unnatural to me, but I only say this from a UK English standpoint; I would think it's the hospital that schedules the appointment, not the patient; however, we don't know who is saying this

I guess I sound very unnatural then when I call the "scheduling secretary" at my doctor's office to "schedule an appointment".
