Pain- PM&R Office Build Out

[PMR’s chill]

I'm leasing some new office space and need advice on a build out. Office space is 1500 sq feet, landlord is doing a full buildout to my specs. How big of a room do you typically allocate to a flouroscopy suite (plan to do basic interventional spine procedures in the office). How big do you typically make your exam rooms? What are some features I should ask for in the build out. Planning for 3 exam rooms, 1 procedure suite for fluoroscopy, personal office, small work space for midlevel, reception area and waiting room.

Thank you

You'll need a clean/dirty area for a sterilizer (if you're doing RFA), a double sink, and refrigerated storage. You'll also need a specimen pass-through window from your bathroom in the office to an area the MAs can access for UDS. If you're doing regen, consider a dedicated phlebotomy area and tissue processing space away from your dirty areas.

Sounds like he wants to be more minimalist, in which case just a sink and fridge will suffice to do the above.

OP:

How would you use 1,500 sq feet to build out the perfect pain clinic?

Like the title says. I'm a fellow who will be graduating this summer. I will hopefully be building out a 1,500 sq foot space to suit and wondering if anyone had input on how to best utilize this space in regards to exam rooms, procedure suite, reception area, and small pre/post procedure area...

Size of Procedure Suite

My new partner and I are in planning stages of Build out of new office . Wondering what you guys thought might be appropriate size of Procedure room Using Pulsera C-arm with adjustable Oakworks table. My initial thought was 18x12, we have total of 2500 sq ft. any thoughts?

This office is too small for a physician and a midlevel.

no bathroom? No break room?

You want a waiting area bigger than you think

You will need two restrooms at minimum too. 3 exam rooms plus procedure room might be 600sq ft or more just that. Reception, front office, and you are well over what you are going to lease. Change plans if not too late.

Disagree. A single doc office can manage with one restroom. Single doc plus mid level is more debatable

A leg bag and desk urinal can also be helpful and save space.

I recommend you go with the desk urinal if you can spare the 0.5 SF. The leg bag may be a good suggestion in the thread about clinic efficiency, though.
