answer
"Walk-in appointment" is not regarded as 予約 ("appointment") in Japan. It will
usually be treated as 予約なし診療 (literally "appointment-less visit") or 予約外診療
(literally "outside-appointment visit") in Japan. This often means waiting for
a long time in a hospital.

Other options are:

  * 当日予約: if you managed to make an appointment over the phone several hours before the visit
  * 飛び込み診療: this is the same as 予約なし診療 but sounds negative
