Consultation hour
A consultation hour is a predetermined period of time in which you can visit a person and discuss a matter with them. The person to be spoken has usually set the times. They are often on a board attached to the house (e.g. at a doctor's office) or on an information wall. Consultation hours by appointment means that appointments are made (to avoid waiting times).
