Are you using your office to inspire your patients?
I loved visiting this pediatrician’s whimsically designed office. There was an elephant examination table with pictures of elephants in one room. In another room he had a fire truck exam table. And, in the waiting room there was a tiny archway carved out of a wall just for children to walk through. He used his space to create a psychologically inspired setting for his patients: young children.
He understood that kids can be frightened when in a doctor’s office. (As can adults.) So, he used kid-centric furniture, color, and pictures to diminish children’s fearfulness and inspire a sense of fun.
I wonder if they make adult-size elephant exam tables?
