Summary
The design and construction of a hair restoration surgery suite and center should meet the needs of patients, providers, and local or state medical and health boards. Care should be given to ensure the office is an accurate representation of your business and medical practice. It should have enough space to accommodate the equipment and personnel required to perform the kinds of procedures in a hair restoration practice. Additionally, it should be designed for maximal patient comfort. Each office should have three separate areas: nonclinical space, clinical space, and employee-only space. These areas should be separated to the extent possible. Proper office design will ensure that patient and staff experience is optimized. It will be efficient and comfortable, and will help foster a positive, safe, and legal clinical experience.
