After realizing that her life isn't advancing at Seattle Grace, Addison packs her bags and heads off to Santa Monica to start a new life.

The series, created by Shonda Rhimes, is produced by ABC Television Studio in collaboration with The Mark Gordon Company and Shondaland Productions. It first aired as an episode of Grey's Anatomy.

Critic Reviews

David Hinckley

Season 2 Review: It's hard to imagine reinventing the concept of the doctor show. But in a way, that's what Private Practice sets out to do in its new-look second season Wednesday--and it doesn't do a bad job. Read full review

Robert Bianco

Season 1 Review: Still, for all the show's flaws, here's the good news: Practice is far better than the dismal Grey's episode that introduced it. Read full review

Brian Lowry

Season 1 Review: ABC's eagerly awaited spinoff of "Grey's Anatomy" initially qualifies as a disappointment -- hitting completely familiar medical-drama beats while pursuing a whimsical tone it never fully achieves. Read full review

Glenn Garvin

Season 1 Review: Fans of Grey's Anatomy femme fatale Addison Montgomery may find her a little dull now that she doesn't have a husband or boyfriend or intern to cheat on or with in ABC's spin-off Private Practice. Read full review

Maureen Ryan

Season 2 Review: Though it’s better, Private Practice is not good enough. Read full review

Matthew Gilbert

Season 2 Review: The show remains a poorly conceived piece of work that throws a whole mess of relationship and medical cliches at us and hopes for the best. Read full review

Jonathan Storm

Season 1 Review: It's amazing there's no orthopedist, since the show's so lame. Read full review
