Walking down Alcala Street in Madrid, I came across this rather unusual professional pairing (the google map link takes you to the location so you can see for yourself):

If you need help with the translation (although, I think it is pretty easy to figure out the English equivalent words from the Spanish):

Gynaecologist

Dentist

Fraternity (as in brotherhood or guild)

I wonder if it is one professional with dual specialization or multiple professionals sharing a common office?

I did a double take the first time I noticed it. There is another medical clinic sign just behind that one (you can just see it in blue), but I don't think they are associated.

I've tended to have good dentists - if they cause me pain, I get someone else.

I don't have much experience with gynaecologists.

It must be possible to have both a gynecological exam and dental work done at the same time (using two different doctors, of course).

In other words, it sounds like a model of efficiency to me!

I am pretty sure it would also feel quite intrusive. I know I am not terrible keen on having people putting the fingers (along with sharp implements) in my mouth. Not sure I would want to be worked at the other end at the same time.

hard to tell...maybe it's a fraternity of gynecologists and dentists but they are not both gyne and dentist because maybe it's against the law=)

I think there are three professionals sharing a common office to save rent of office.

Three professionals? I see only two, maybe the third is the sign maker.

You're right, but it is for the same clinic - although, that sign says: "surgical and dental clinic"

I don't thin kit is just in Madrid. I am sure if you looked carefully around Spain (and the world) you would find many odd juxtapositions.
