Future time

What is the nuance when a native speaker uses present simple for the future (I know that present simple is used for timetables- the plane arrives at 5) but could you explain what is the difference - I see my doctor tomorrow-I am seeing my doctor tomorrow- I am going to see my doctor tomorrow. Thanks

I see my doctor tomorrow. This sounds like you are talking about your regular schedule. It also implies that you do this regularly, eg every Tuesday.
