Doctor visit: Many patients are being examined in physicians offices during this pandemic and, because of their office and waiting room policies, transmission of covid seems quite uncommon. There are no guarantees. However the physicians and their staff keep their masks on which protects you. If your needed appointment must be in person and if it's very important, I think you should make that visit.
