specialist clinic

Niche medical facility

A specialist clinic is a medical facility focused on a particular area of healthcare rather than general practice.

Unlike a general practitioner's office, a specialist clinic concentrates on specific conditions, body systems, or patient populations: a fertility clinic, a sports medicine clinic, an orthopedic clinic.

Patients typically arrive by referral after initial diagnosis elsewhere.
