If you have worked at your new employer long enough to accumulate leave time I would utilize vacation, sick or personal days for a scheduled doctor appointment. If you find that you need more then one day or your request are frequent you should discuss with your human resources department your needs to see if accomidations are offered. Maybe you could seek a later afternoon appointment and flex. If you have been employed for at least 12 months and worked enough hours you could be eligible for Family Medical Leave assuming your employer employees the required number of employees (www.dol.gov).
