PRIVATE PRACTICE: About & Episode Guides

PRIVATE PRACTICE: About & Episode Guides

At Oceanside Wellness Center, the doctors are dedicated pros;
it's their private lives that need a little practice.

Private Practice Aired From September 26, 2007 – January 22, 2013 On ABC



The Plot:
Addison Forbes Montgomery is a renowned surgeon. Having left behind Seattle Grace Hospital, Addison moves to Los Angeles for sunnier weather and happier possibilities, joining her newly divorced friends from medical school, Naomi and Sam Bennett, at their chic, co-op, Oceanside Wellness Center in Santa Monica.

The center's resident pediatrician is Dr. Cooper Freedman, whose success in his profession belies his rocky personal life.
Cooper finds solace and counsel in his closest friend, co-op psychiatrist Dr. Violet Turner - but she's no luckier in love. Able to deftly advise her patients in their relationships, she's intense, determined and unwilling to let outsiders see the obvious cracks in her veneer.

Dr. Pete Wilder is the alternative medicine specialist at the practice. Attractive and assured, Pete is a "catch" by any standard; in fact, he's already caught Addison's eye, and he, hers. Though the chemistry is immediate and palpable between the two, Pete's cockiness and confidence conceal a man still reeling from his wife's tragic passing eight years beforehand, a man who has been unable to truly connect with a woman since.

Witness to it all at the co-op is the receptionist, William Dell Parker. Young, quirky and confident, Dell may seem like an easygoing surfer, but he's deeply interested in the medical profession. In Addison, he sees the chance to have a mentor and pursue his dream -- becoming a midwife.

Coming in direct conflict with the co-op doctors is Charlotte King, the Chief of Staff of the nearby hospital. A southerner who does not suffer fools gladly, Charlotte believes that the co-op doctors' patient care methods are unorthodox and, therefore, inferior to her own.
