CASE STUDY: Ocean’s Dental
My first meeting with the supplier went well as we began to discuss locations, space and time frames. But then came the next meeting — a preliminary discussion on costs. “How much are you willing to spend?” they asked me. I was momentarily taken aback as I considered the meaning of the question. I have no doubt this is a common way to navigate this part of the process, but I knew I needed a fresh approach.
DHPI’s pitch was considerably different. “How can we help you build your dream office?” was the first question asked. I was sold.
DHPI went to great lengths to be involved in all aspects of the project. I was given extensive checklists to make certain nothing was forgotten. DHPI contacted my architect and spent countless hours consulting on the design and layout of the new office. Nothing was done without my OK; however DHPI was also good at knowing when not to bother me. I was still working full time on my valued patients in my existing office, and sometimes it was nice to just let the professionals at DHPI take care of little details.
My office designer, Craig Smith of Speedway Motors, was very impressed with how involved DHPI was in the project—without getting in the way of his vision for an open, yet intimate design which used water and waves to give rise to “Oceans Dental”. DHPI was extremely respectful of the particular “look” he had in mind. Dan and Mike Wacker seemed constantly fascinated by the office theme, and even helped to choose colors and woods that flowed seamlessly with the vinyl wrapped glass walls and open, neo-industrial look of the ceiling. The final result was spectacular! Patients constantly comment on the unique design of the office, along with the efficiency and friendliness of Oceans Dental. It’s been a success in every single aspect.
