Private Practice
Grey's Anatomy executive producer Shonda Rhimes combines
the heart and soul of television's top-rated drama with exciting
new faces in a sun-drenched new location to create a drama
with a very different vibe. It's an intimate portrait of the
choices and changes we make in our search for happy lives.
Following a failed attempt at reconciliation and two disastrous
affairs, neonatal surgeon Dr. Addison Forbes Montgomery craves
a new relationship and a baby of her own. Addison journeys
to Santa Monica to seek advice from her med school friends,
Naomi and Jackson. But she finds her idealized view of their
achievements -- successful marriage, 14-year-old daughter
and a highly successful health cooperative -- doesn't match
reality.
Jackson's success as a TV health guru pushed him to divorce
Naomi and now he's lonely. Fertility specialist Naomi wants
love, but she doubts their boyish surfer/receptionist is the
answer. The rest of the Oceanside Wellness Group staff has
their own life issues. The sexy alternative medicine doc is
a widower masking his grief with one-night stands. The gynecologist
who doesn't know a thing about women had his car stolen by
this week's Internet hookup. And the therapist doubts she's
doing any good at all. Fortunately, together they're a formidable
medical team doing cutting-edge work. Working with them, Addison
realizes that moving to Southern California and joining her
friends could be the right prescription for her own life.
