In British usage, 'the doctor's' (possessive) refers to a GP's surgery or medical practice — the place you go for a doctor's appointment. The possessive construction is standard informal British English; saying 'I'm going to the doctor's' is completely natural in everyday speech.
She had to take the morning off work because she'd booked a slot at the doctor's.
