 In this spin-off Grey's Anatomy, neonatal surgeon Dr. Addison Forbes Montgomery relocates from Seattle Grace Hospital to the Oceanside Wellness Group in sunny Santa Monica, California following a failed marriage and two affairs. There she reconnects with medical school friends, Sam and Naomi Bennett, friends she thought had the ideal life -- a successful marriage, lucrative wellness group, and a beautiful 14 year-old daughter.
However, Addison finds that Sam's success as a TV health guru lead
to the end of his marriage to Naomi, leaving them both lonely and
searching for another relationship. The Group's surfer receptionist,
Dell, thinks he's the one for Naomi, but she's unsure that a younger
man is the answer to her relationship problems.
The other members of the Oceanside Wellness Group have their own
share of personal issues as well. Peter Finch, an alternative medicine
doctor, is dealing with the pain of losing his wife through a series of
one-night stands. Cooper Freedman, a gynecologist, relies on the
Internet to hook up with women, but after having his car stolen by one
of his hookups, he's slowly finding that the Internet may not be the
best means to meeting the woman of his dreams. Violet Turner, the
resident therapist, doubts that she's doing any good for any of her
patients and wonders if she's even able to help herself.
But aside from each of their personal problems, together the staff
at Oceanside Wellness group combines cutting-edge work and alternative
medicine to save lives. By joining the staff, Addison finds that a move
to sunny Southern California may just be the right prescription for
life.
