exam room

Where doctors examine

An exam room is a small clinical space in a doctor's office, clinic, or hospital where patients are seen individually for medical evaluation.

It typically contains an examination table, basic diagnostic equipment, and supplies.

The term distinguishes these spaces from waiting areas, operating rooms, or other medical facilities: The nurse led me back to exam room 3.
