What is the name of the spin-off series about a private practice?

The story behind the answer

The Grey's Anatomy spin-off about a private practice is called Private Practice.

Private Practice follows Dr. Addison Montgomery after she leaves Seattle Grace Hospital and moves to Los Angeles. There, she joins the Oceanside Wellness Group, later known as Seaside Health & Wellness Center. The series expands Addison’s story while introducing a separate group of doctors, therapists, and medical staff.

Created by Shonda Rhimes, the drama premiered on ABC in 2007 and ran for six seasons, ending in 2013. Kate Walsh led the cast as Addison, who had originally been introduced on Grey's Anatomy as Derek Shepherd’s wife. The spin-off explores fertility treatment, psychiatry, relationships, medical ethics, and the financial pressures of running a medical practice.

Viewers sometimes confuse Private Practice with Station 19, another Grey’s Anatomy spin-off. Station 19 focuses on Seattle firefighters, while Private Practice is the Los Angeles-based medical drama centered on Addison Montgomery and her colleagues.
