Two 'at' in a single sentence

0 A person told me the following:02br
02br
00 I have an appointment with a doctor at Ruda's clinic at 15.00 pm on next Wednesday.02br
02br
00 Is it fine to use the preposition 'at' twice here?02br
02br
00 It should be 'at 15.00 pm'. 02br
02br
00 I think it should be 'in Ruda's clinic.02br
00 What do you think?02br
00 Your comments are welcome.0-

00 pm'. 02br 02font 00It's OK to have two such 01i 00at's02i 00 in a sentence. The only reason you might sometimes try to avoid such repetition is if you are trying to write with great style, and even then, it's not always bad.

00 You could omit 'on' here.02br
02br
00 We say, for example, I can meet you this/next Wednesday. We don't write the prepositon 'on' when it comes to the words 'this' and 'next'.02br
