I've had glasses that seemed wrong only to find that I've gotten used to them pretty quickly. I've also had a pair with the wrong prescription, and it was obvious to me immediately once I tried to drive with them on. If you think they are wrong, definitely go in. But if your prescription has changed, it will seem weird and take a bit to get used to it. The last time I went in, my prescription was changed for the better, and that was the hardest thing to get used to, having glasses that weren't as strong as what I was used to.

I used to work at an optical shop, and they have a machine that can check the prescription immediately. So they will be able to compare it to what the doctor wrote out for you and make sure it is right. You shouldn't have to talk to the doctor for that, just the optician. Those offices are more likely to be open on the weekends.

Good luck!
