Do doctors who work in clinics have offices?!
Question: This is something I've always wondered about, but never thought to ask. My doctor is part of a clinic with 5 other docs. It moved from it's own building downtown to the hospital - it's in a big medical office building, in a suite. It's pretty small, at least the waiting area and patient rooms are. Do doctors actually have their own offices where they look over notes and what not? You would think so since doctors make the bucks, though I know general practitioners make the least.

It really depends. Many times they have a separate room (their office) where they do paperwork and research. Some times all they have is a cubby or a spot on a bench. The former is more likely if they're partners or owners, the latter if they are salaried or part-time at that center.
not trying to be flippent but some do and some donot. My Dr. is in a practice/clinic w/3 others and has an office also across state. My dentist is in clinic w/ 2 others and thats all he has.
