Larry has overseen the design of two offices for our group (7
MD group). In each case, he has overseen significant design
challenges to achieve a highly functional yet cosmetically exceptional
office. Patients, staff and physicians enjoy our new spaces.
Patients often comment about the exceptional design and
layout of our office. As a physician, I appreciate the functional
layout that allows me to be more productive and efficient allowing
more time with my patients and less time walking the hallways.?
In contract to traditional architect who might ask you how many
exam rooms do you want or how many seats do you need in your
waiting room, Larry Brooks and his team take a unique and highly
professional approach to design.?
?The finished office reflects years of experience of Larry Brooks
and his design team. Items such as exam room soundproofing,
airflow and patient flow are seamlessly incorporated in the design.
The harmony of work place design and a professional appearing
office results in efficient physicians and satisfied patients.?
?In each of our projects, Larry Brooks has prepared contractor
ready blueprints and has worked in harmony with a local architect.
His group is professional, accessible and in each of our
office has resulted in a professional product that has satisfied
our diverse physician group.?
?I wholeheartedly endorse Larry Brooks and his partners at
Practice Flow Solutions. I would be delighted to speak personally
with any potential clients about our experience.
Practice Flow Solutions was recommended to us by the top brass
at Allergan Consulting Group. After that introduction, PFS was
commissioned to help identify the needs and design for our new
17,000 sq. ft. office in Katy, TX. Tim took the approach of designing
the practice to optimize all of our divisions into an efficient
layout. As you can imagine, with medical and cosmetic
dermatology and our dermatology research site all in the same
space, it was a challenge, and Tim tackled it well. Tim?s suggestions
from PFS?s initial time-and-motion study ended up also
improving our current flow in our original Galleria office.
Practice Flow Solutions did a great job and are delightful as well
as professional. We highly recommend them and would absolutely
work with them again.
Most doctors believe they can save money and do their own
design, I can tell you from firsthand experience that using a professional
like Tim is money well spent. Actually, he helped us
save money in the long run by getting to the best design in a
short amount of time. Our change orders during construction
where minimal compared to other construction projects we
had worked on prior due to Tim?s experience with medical practices.?
?We immediately saw an increase in patient visits in our
new office due to the layout and practice flow suggestions that
Tim advised us on. We can now have two doctors in the office at
once without stumbling over each other. The staff have told me
that their day is less confusing and calmer now compared to our
old office.?
?Our office design has brought complements from our staff, our
patients and even fellow doctors who visit the office. Tim understands
how a medical practice?s design can positively influence
everyone who enters our building.
Our relationship with Practice Flow Solutions has truly been that
of a partnership. The complexities of working for large institutional
client?s such as the University of Nebraska Medical Center
requires a unique set of skills. You and Tim have always listened
carefully to our client?s thoughts and needs as owners and facility
managers and you?ve been successful at providing input on
the most current technology and practices in the ophthalmological
field. I have especially appreciated your flexibility and quick
adaptation to accommodate necessary changes in plans.
You and Tim are easy to communicate with and a pleasure
to work with, very creative producing original, innovative
design solutions. We?re looking forward to many more
associations with Practice Flow Solutions in coming years.
We moved in on time. And the flow of the suite is AWESOME!!!!
Yesterday the staff was loving it. It is GREAT - I love
the administrative hall - so quiet - I have never worked in a busier,
quieter atmosphere. Thank you for your planning and advise
and direction!!!
First of all, let me tell you that I have known about Practice Flow
for many years, but had not had the opportunity to use them.
When my group made the decision to build an MOB and move all
of our services there, I insisted that we meet with Larry and Tim
because I thought that the concept of designing a space around
the workflow of the physicians instead of the other way around,
was brilliant.
I have not been disappointed. They met with each of the physicians
and therapists, observed each in the current setting and
really listened when we described our vision for the new space.
After several revisions with our input, we have what we believe
will be an ideal space for the physicians, therapists and our ASC.
Obviously, we ultimately will not know until we are working in the
space, but we know that it is certainly more innovative than we
could have been. They listened and have been a pleasure to
work with.
I would highly recommend this firm and I know the physicians
have been pleased as well.
Tim Griffin understands the constraints of time, space and work
flow on medical practices. He was even able to diagnose and
solve our problems from the other side of the country (our local
architect had been stumped, despite knowing the space quite
well) and made efficient use of web meetings, phone calls, emails
and shared design files to get the work done on a fasttrack
schedule.?
?Excellent work space and work flow design is second only to
personnel as the best investment a practice can make, but it
should be no surprise that excellence in work space and work
flow design help attract and retain superb personnel. From day
one and now three years into our space, excellence in practice
design is the gift that keeps on giving.

We have made at least $5 for every dollar we spent
on Practice Flow Solutions. Working with Practice Flow
Solutions saved me from a really bad plan from the general architect.
Your pre-design Assessment was very detailed and
pointed out all the flow issues with the plan I had. Invaluable..
"I was very thankful that I went with Larry Brooks and Tim Griffin
when it came time for me to design the space for my new practice!
Before I signed my lease, Larry was proactive in getting in
touch with the realtor and discussing which space would best fit
my needs. He understood my time constraints and delivered a
finished product even ahead of our predetermined timeline.
The entire process with Practice Flow Solutions, from beginning
to end, is a very well thought out series of exercises. From the
initial steps of reviewing my practice's anticipated equipment,
staffing, EMR, and practice flow needs to the final steps of determining
the optimal place for a light switch, it was very apparent
that both Larry and Tim brought a tremendous amount of
experience with them. With every question I presented, they
were able to give definitive and practical options as well as examples
of solutions which they had created in other similar settings.
In the era of declining reimbursements and increasing expenses,
doctors can ill afford not working at optimal efficiency. What
Practice Flow Solutions provides is the strategy and layout for a
doctor to function efficiently while still maintaining the desired
patient encounter which we all strive to achieve. Our practice
has benefitted tremendously and will continue to realize the
imprint placed by the team at Practice Flow Solutions."
When we needed help with help with the merger of two offices
into a new single location, we turned to Practice Flow Solutions.
Tim Griffin and Larry Brooks brought their skills to our project
efficiently and effectively. Working with a specific scope and
timeline, they did what they said they would do, they finished it
when they said they would finish it, and they did so with valuable
input and without surprises. When the time comes I'll bring
them in again.
Thank you for all of your help on our current and past projects.
You were able to observe areas of inefficiencies and make suggestions
on improvements. You listened to needs of the physicians
and staff and incorporated our needs into the design.
Your level of professionalism far surpasses others in your field.
This combined with your high level of communication is why I
have recommended you to other clinics in our area. I know it
is a referral that won't let anyone down.
Larry, we cannot thank you enough for all you did for the Arena
Eye Surgeons when we moved to The Eye Center in Columbus.
Your evaluation of the patient flow in our ophthalmology practice
provided an excellent space design that was utilized by our national
healthcare developer to create a specialized and customized
ophthalmic office. Your ability to see problems with the flow
systems of our old office and then solve those problems in our
new space really shows in the design you prepared for our office.
We are now able to see more patients in a very comfortable
and relaxed space. We are better able to utilize
our staff and they like their work areas. The new office works
great for the doctors!
