If I could add a comment - the apostrophe is an indication that this is the surgery of the doctor as in the butcher's meaning the shop of the butcher.

I see now, so it works just as in: in "my mother's house" or at my mom's, right?

I should have been born in the USA. I've got this thing about America.
