present progressive vs. future be going to

[AdeExpress]

Hi native speakers,

It's a pleasure to be here again.

You guys are so helpful. Thanks a lot. :-D

My question is:

When should I use future (present continuous) or ( be going to) for these situations... :?:

"I'm going to see the doctor tomorrow."

"I'm seeing a doctor tomorrow."


Is there a real difference between present continuous and be going to or both are fine??? :?:

Thank you so much :up:

I'm not a native speaker but I think native speakers won't mind if I say "I'm going to see the doctor tomorrow." means intention, a kind of plan to visit a doctor tomorrow. And "I'm seeing a doctor tomorrow." means a fixed future action, you have an appointment with the doctor and you musy go to see him and he is waiting for you. Cheers!
