OB/Gyn.

Some of the internal medicine subspecialties (eg GI) also come to mind.

Some of the surgical subspecialties could qualify--I once worked with an orthopedic surgeon who only operated 3 mornings a week and spent the rest of his time in clinic. He said that he could make more in the office than in the OR, especially with the number of clinic procedures (mainly joint injections) he did.
