consultation room

Where doctors examine

A consultation room is a private space where professionals meet with clients or patients for confidential discussions.

The term appears most often in medical contexts—a doctor's consultation room is where examinations and diagnoses occur: The nurse led me to the consultation room.

Lawyers, therapists, and other professionals use the term similarly.
