Description: Dr. Mike Stratford, a partner in the medical practice Northeast Medical Partners in Providence, Rhode Island. Most of the comedy surrounds Dr. Stratford's zany antics, tempered by his commitment to his profession and his patients. Though at first serving as "straight men" for Frewer's manic style of comic acting, the other characters gained more depth as the series progressed, and the plots sometimes focused on issues such as AIDS, breast cancer, and homophobia.
