The story follows Dr. Addison Montgomery as she relocates from the fictional Seattle Grace Hospital in Seattle, Washington to the Oceanside Wellness Group in Santa Monica, California.

A total of 111 episodes of Private Practice were aired over six seasons, between September 26, 2007, and January 22, 2013.

During her trip, Addison becomes acquainted with the Oceanside Wellness Center, the medical practice in which a majority of Private Practice takes place, and its staff. The two episodes serve to explain the reasons behind Addison's move from Seattle to Los Angeles.
