Richard,

Please take a look at the context: to visit the doctor's annually means you see the doctor once a year.

If I could add a comment - the apostrophe is an indication that this is the surgery of the doctor as in the butcher's meaning the shop of the butcher.

I see now, so it works just as in: in "my mother's house" or at my mom's, right?

Absolutely. Incidentally a comment about the mantra that you use at the end of your messages should read:

I should have been born in the USA. I've got this thing about America.

To be honest I also had to think about that structure until I could understand "the doctor's" is nothing else that the genetive which is allowed to use like "at the surgery's" and the "annually" is "nothing else" than an adverb of time which then is understandable to put it after "the doctor's" or at the end of the sentence.

Am I right Torsten?

The comparison isn't deliberate, is it? Still, it sounds as if you might have had a bad experience at the doctor's.

You don't have to answer this, Alan, as it's only a rhetorical question :) .
