doctor office
Where checkups happen
A doctor office is a medical facility where physicians see patients for appointments, examinations, and routine care—as distinct from hospitals or emergency rooms.
The phrase is American English, often appearing without the possessive: I have to stop by the doctor office on my way home.
The fuller form is doctor's office.
