Why does này come after phòng khám instead of before it?

In Vietnamese, words like này and đó/kia usually come after the noun.

So:

• phòng khám này = this clinic
• người này = this person
• cuốn sách đó = that book

This is normal Vietnamese word order. English says this clinic, but Vietnamese says something more like clinic this.

Why is there no word for is in the sentence?
