The show features a talented ensemble cast, including Paul Adelstein as Dr. Cooper Freedman, a pediatrician with a penchant for sleeping around; KaDee Strickland as Dr. Charlotte King, a straight-talking OBGYN and later the Chief of Staff at the hospital; Taye Diggs as Dr. Sam Bennett, a sensitive and committed internist; Amy Brenneman as Dr. Violet Turner, a psychiatrist who deals with her own personal demons; Audra McDonald as Dr. Naomi Bennett, Sam's ex-wife and co-founder of the practice; Brian Benben as Dr. Sheldon Wallace, a psychiatrist practicing at the hospital; Chris Lowell as William "Dell" Parker, a midwife; Caterina Scorsone as Dr. Amelia Shepherd, a brilliant neurosurgeon with a checkered past; Benjamin Bratt as Dr. Jake Reilly, an alternative medicine practitioner; Griffin Gluck as Mason Warner, a child with a significant role in the show; and Timothy Daly as Dr. Pete Wilder, a holistic medicine practitioner.

Throughout the series, the characters' personal lives continue to intersect with their professional lives, creating a well-rounded, character-driven narrative. Addison deals with a series of romantic entanglements over the course of the show, but never loses sight of her passion for medicine. Meanwhile, her colleagues struggle with their own personal and professional dilemmas, including Charlotte's rape, Violet's own trauma, and Sam's failed marriage.
