What do other working mamas do about the seemingly endless parade of doctor's visits?
Looking at the calendar for the next month, I see that my son has his first dentist appointment, I have a date with the dentist to have some fillings replaced, my son has his three-year well checkup, and my daughter has her 15-month doctor's visit. That's four-plus hours of appointments, not to mention the time spent hauling the kids back and forth.
I don't work on Mondays, partly to address the issue of getting errands done, but our dentists and the kids' doctor don't work on Mondays, either.
I could ask my husband to tackle a couple of these, but he is short-handed at work right now and already putting in extra hours.
This is one of the reasons why I work part time instead of full time. But the rest of you, what do you do?

I just realized it's been THREE years since I went to the dentist - completely unintentionally, of course. I have great health insurance, just no time to use it. :-)
For the kids, I take time off of work and I schedule their appointments for first thing in the morning or last appt. of the day, no matter how far out that means.
