EnglishMerriam-Webster Dictionary

buckle is not owned by the belt but associated with it, so too is a doctor's appointment an appointment that is associated with a doctor, rather than owned by one. Doctor appointment is also grammatical: in that form, doctor is simply modifying appointment as a descriptor, just as belt modifies buckle in belt buckle.

Examples

Noun

//He needed medicine but refused to go to a doctor.
//She was under doctor's orders not to return to work.
//I saw her at the doctor's last week.
//How long will you be at the doctor?
//Most of the faculty members at this college are doctors in their fields.
//Dr. Smith, can you explain the exam requirements again?

Verb

//They were accused of doctoring the company
