What to do if my daughter has a doctor’s appointment with a dermatologist but it happens to fall during the post holiday visitation time when my ex has her?

We have joint custody and he has told me I can either come pick her up or make another appointment. I have to continually take on more than my share getting her needs met and bringing her to all of her other doctor and weekly therapy appointments. I told him that since he didnt make the appt (I did) that he needed to make another appointment and bring her to it. My daughter really wants to take care of the spot on her face over the holidays to give her time to heal with a patch on her face before going back to school but my ex said he is working on that day and I can bring her another day.
