Designing medical offices-- when interior surroundings offer a subtle, even subliminal, calming influence, that can affect mood, staff and patient traffic flow, efficiency and more.

Deerfield Beach, FL (PRWEB) March 4, 2005 ---- Platinum Television Group is pleased to announce the selection of Tim Stensrud Design for its innovative, educational television series, Health Forum. The company will be featured in a segment on First Impressions" as part of a series on The New Chiropractor.

Most patients awaiting a chance to see their dentist, doctor or chiropractor have more on their minds than noting the interior design of the office. Many welcome a chance to catch up on the latest magazines in the waiting room, and then proceed with the business at hand once they are ushered into the professional offices.
But when interior surroundings are a subtle, even subliminal, calming influence, that can affect mood, staff and patient traffic flow, efficiency and more. A designers work will speak for itself. When creating the doctors interior space, I believe its important to step through the door into an atmosphere of calm and order," says Tim Stensrud.

Thats why some people like Stensrud devote their lives to designing just such offices. As designers, we have a remarkable opportunity and also a responsibility to help make the workspace a better, more aesthetic and functional place to be.
Our goal is to create the best possible environment for our clients and their communities," he says. Our approach enables us to develop professional offices that are appropriate and effective as well as distinctive."

He should know: To date, hes designed nearly 700 offices in more than 18 years of experience. He understands the varying design and architectural challenges as well as the doctors specialized equipment that needs to be incorporated, and combining the clients wish lists is his specialty.

Stensrud works closely with the doctor because he believes that is the key to his designs: Offices must be designed after we decide how they function best for the doctors use, not before. Of course aesthetics are important, but without proper traffic flow and function, aesthetics mean nothing but a cosmetic band-aid solution."

Lighting, color, use of glass, feeling of openness and space, the unique use of millwork and materials slates, ceramics, hardwoods or carpet--all offer and provide this subtle sense of patient comfort and staff organization. This contributes to the overall look and feel of any office, and affects the response of those who work and visit there. In the featured segment, Stensrud will educate viewers on what is involved in designing chiropractic offices and show before and after views of many that hes made over.

His award-winning designs have been featured in design and architectural magazines.
