Doctor appointment question grammar

[Beetle]

Hi guys,

Just a quick question on a sentence, Sorry about the romagi. It's a patient talking and asking about an appointment.

Sensei ga yoyaku de ippai de nakerya konna tokoro niwa kimasen no ni.

Is the translation that the patient is saying something like.

Why isn't the doctor here, when his appointment are full?

The topic
Ippai de nakerya konna tokoro niwa

Uses the ni particle. But why is that? Is it being used as the English "with"
I.e with the appointments being full.

 

[nekojita]

"wa" here is just for emphasis (konna tokoro niwa kimasen instead of just konna tokoro ni kimasen).
denakerya is a casual/abbreviated form of "denakereba".

So it's two statements linked by a negative conditional:
IF NOT (Sensei ga yoyaku de ippai) THEN (konna tokoro niwa kimasen)

The speaker is the one who "kimasen" refers to, and "sensei" probably refers to the patient's preferred doctor.

Nakerya seems to me slightly old fashioned if not a dialect but it may simply be used here to emphasize the speaker's dissatisfaction or disappointment over the current situation not turning out as expected.

So she is saying if her prefered doctor's appointment was free she wouldn't be in such a place.

Just like

Ame denakereba Tenisu wo shimasu.

If it doesn't rain I'll play tennis.

Thanks a lot.

What do you mean by free ? The speaker is saying if the doctor doesn't have a full slate of appointments he won't come,,,,

 

[Beetle]

I meant free as in a vacancy in his appointment schedule. The speaker is the patient.

So I though the speaker was saying.
If my preferred doctor had a vacancy in his schedule I wouldn't be here (with this doctor) looking for an appointment...
