In the U.S., the standard 115/120 volt outlet wired on 20 amp circuits should do fine, with at least 2 rooms on the same circuit. There aren't a lot of heavy-draw necessities in an examination room: a good light source, maybe an x-ray viewing wall unit. An autoclave wouldn't typically be in the waiting room. There are a lot of variables for how many outlets in a room, but figure about one per wall (check applicable building codes, though).

A hospital may have much higher electrical draws and needs. Without knowing the specific requirements, it would be hard to give any sort of educated opinion. I hope that helps!
