I found two different translations for "going to see a doctor," and I was wondering which contexts you would use each in.
The first is 受診じゅしんする which is defined on jisho.org as "having a medical examination; seeing a doctor."
The other option I found on jisho was （医者に）見てもらう。My understanding of this is that a literal translation would be "I received the favor of (being seen by) a doctor."
The first translation makes sense in that it literally refers to the examination. However, if you wanted to say, "I'm going to see a doctor [at a specific time]" (like tomorrow, today, etc) which one of these phrases would you pick? How would this be different from indicating continuing care by saying "I am being seen by a doctor" (on a continuing basis)?
Thanks, folks!

You can use both:
- 明日(病院を)受診します。
- 明日(医者に)見てもらいます。
- (月に2回)皮膚科を受診しています。
- (月に2回)皮膚科の先生に見てもらっています。
Difference:
- 受診 sounds relatively more objective and formal because it's a kango (See: wago-and-kango). But it's safe also in casual conversations.
- 受診 can take an institute name as a direct object.
- As you already know, てもらう carries some nuance of "receiving favor", but it's not an issue unless you dislike the doctor.
As an aside, 見る can be replaced by 診る.
