That same money pulls him into the dubious doings of the Darling clan. Power, privilege and family money are a volatile cocktail.


Private Practice is about new beginnings and old friends. Addison Forbes Montgomery is a renowned neonatal surgeon, respected by her friends and colleagues at Seattle Grace Hospital. Deciding she can no longer healthily co-exist with her ex-husband, McDreamy, and her ex-lover, McSteamy, Addison heads to Los Angeles for sunnier weather and happier possibilities.


Reunited with her once-married, newly divorced medical school friends, Naomi and Sam, Addison joins their chic private practice. The show tells the story of a woman unafraid of change and willing to begin a new life.
