Is it right to say
"I want an appointment with Dr. XX"
or
"I want to make an appointment with Dr.XX"
Thanks in advance

Actually, a better statement would be:
"I would like to make an appointment to see Dr. XX."

I want to make an appointment with Dr XX and it is a request compared to the other one which is a want.

I want to make an appointment with Dr. XX may sound a little less demanding.
in fact
"I would like to schedule an appointment with Dr. XX" --would be my preference

I would say I want to make an appointment would be right would be what people say more often, but the grammar is still correct. Both sentences have a subject, predicate and a complete idea. The only difference is the second one uses an infinitive.

It depends on if you want an appointment or if you want to make an appointment.
Either is grammatically correct.

"I want" sounds rude. "I should like, or like to make, or even "like to book" would be much better.
