    I would actually support me (us) #2 (whom I miss), in that 'exam room' is much more common, just for the room in which the average doctor sees the average patient, to examine them and find out what's wrong.

    'Treatment room' is not impossible, but it presupposes that the patient is coming in not for a diagnosis or a checkup, but for a course of treatment, such as chemo, radiation, massage, acupuncture, whatever. That would be only a distinct subset of patients.

    Ersteres wäre dann aber im Deutschen das Sprechzimmer, oder?

    Re #5: That's what I was thinking, and the Behandlungszimmer is sometimes a separate room from that. To lump the two of them together into an "exam" room isn't a good solution/reflection of the situation.

    "The majority of Treatment Room services are provided on an appointment basis.  At the request of a doctor or Practice nurse, treatment room nurses take blood samples, process urine and swab tests, perform ear washouts and conduct some other simple investigations."

    I don't think a "treatment room" in a general practice in the UK presupposes patients coming in for a course of treatment but rather it is there for anything minor that needs to be performed in a room separate from the doctor's examination room. Services are often performed by treatment room nurses.


    [edit:]

    Although Behandlungszimmer has been translated as "doctor's office/surgery/examination room" in the past (and there are plenty of bilingual dictionary references to that end, including LEO), it depends on the layout of the practice. I think many doctors now have a separate "treatment room" for minor procedures and a distinction can be made between Sprechzimmer and Behandlungszimmer/-raum.

    For dentists, the same room -- "dental treatment room/examination room" or "operatory" (used more in AE, I think) -- often serves for both examination and treatment.

    Vermutlich variieren die Bezeichnungen von Arztpraxis zu Arztpraxis, nicht zuletzt deshalb, weil Fachärzte u. U. eher "Behandlungszimmer" haben als Allgemeinmediziner. In einer orthopädischen Praxis z. B. gibt es verschiedene "Behandlungszimmer" (Sonnographie, Röntgen, Akupunktur) und eben das "Sprechzimmer", in dem der Arzt/die Ärztin mit den Patienten Gespräche führt. Zuerst wird man ins Sprechzimmer geführt, wo der Grund des Arztbesuchs erfragt wird. Von dort aus kommt man u. U. in das eine oder andere Behandlungszimmer (z. B. Röntgen) und kehrt dann ins Sprechzimmer zurück, wo das Ergebnis der entsprechenden Behandlung besprochen wird.

    In meiner Hausarztpraxis dagegen gibt es lediglich das/die Sprechzimmer sowie einen Raum, in dem z. B. Blut abgenommen oder ein Verband gewechselt wird. Dieser Raum heißt bei uns "Labor".

    Hmm.

    I don't think ordinary doctor's offices, in my experience, have other rooms that are for other purposes than exam rooms, or that 'treatment' would typically be used for other procedures like blood draws or urine samples that aren't actually treatments. (We have a lab in a separate building at the clinic for that.)

    In our GP's office, we sit in the exam room and have a conversation with the GP, with the patient hopping up on the exam table if necessary, and then if there are other procedures (like a flu shot or Covid booster), we stay sitting there and the nurse comes in, after the doc has moved on to the next patient in another exam room. In certain specialties such as OB/GYN, the checkup might take place in the exam room and then the 'talk' might be in a different room with the patient again fully clothed, but it still wouldn't be a treatment room. The docs used to have their own 'office' room, with their desk and their framed diplomas and their family photos; but these days that seems like a luxury, since every exam room has the computer they need to access patient files.

    For dentists, yes, there is typically one room that's mainly for routine cleaning/X-rays/checkups (done mostly by the technician), and another room farther back that's for actual procedures, like fillings or crowns. Root canals are typically referred to a specialist practice.

    I've never heard of 'operatory' as a noun. It reminds me vaguely of 'offertory.'

    I tend to agree with hm -- us for Canada.

    The doctor's office consists of a waiting room with a reception area. Usually there are several examination rooms where you go to discuss your particular problem and/or reason for visit, and to be examined.

    The doctor or a nurse may also give you a shot in the examination room. Lab/blood/urine tests etc. are conducted in a lab, often at another location.

    I guess it differs from country to country.

    ps - I've also never heard operatory room, for dental or otherwise.
