About The Building

My Office Building
I renovated my office building with a plastic surgery practice in mind. However, the building is multi-use and is equally suitable for a clerical business. The two main exam rooms are large enough to have a small table and chairs in addition to the exam table. The patient's consultation can be done comfortably with the patient and family members in the room before the exam. The two main exam rooms open into an adjacent dedicated photography room, allowing consistent preop and postop images with efficiency, patient convenience, and privacy. The larger third exam room is for minor procedures and postoperative care, such as dressing changes and drain removal. A 220-volt outlet is available in the procedure room for equipment that requires this voltage.

There is a small waiting room at the rear of the building, accessible via the rear entrance for added privacy.

The reception area and the front waiting room facilitate immediate greeting by the staff, have an efficient open design, and permit privacy. The reception area features design elements and cabinetry that facilitate patient registration and checkout.

Offices in the front and the rear of the building are equally suitable for physicians' offices, and the office manager can use the office in the center of the building. The nurse's station is open and adjacent to the reception area, the clinical area, and the central office to allow ease of communication and patient flow.

There is a standing workstation and a small dictation room located near the nurse's station and the checkout area, allowing the surgeon to chart after patient visits. This location facilitates communication, thereby improving patient care and efficiency.

Other building features include a staff kitchen, a staff bathroom, and a housekeeping utility closet. There is a dedicated conference room for staff meetings, educational presentations, and meetings with industry representatives. A closet in the rear of the building is used for storing red bag medical waste in between scheduled pick-ups.

Heating and cooling are divided into two zones, one for the clinical area and the second for the clerical areas. The hot water is on a circulating pump, so hot water is delivered to the exam room sinks quickly.

Bright and energy-efficient LED light fixtures have been installed. There is a new NEC PBX 16-line phone system. New roof. New flooring in the exam rooms and kitchen. New flooring in the rear foyer. New front HVAC unit. New water heater.

Patients appreciate the convenience of direct pull-up parking and the large covered awning over the front entrance. There is parking for three staff cars in the rear of the building. The surgeons can park at the office and walk back and forth to the hospital. There is extra parking in the hospital parking lot adjacent to the rear of the building.

Adjacent To The Hospital
The hospital, now called Decatur Morgan Hospital, has rebounded well with post-COVID staffing.

Located on the hospital campus is Alliance Cancer Care, providing radiation therapy for breast cancer patients. Also, located on the hospital campus is Clearview Cancer Institute, providing medical oncology. The anesthesia department has five outstanding anesthesiologists and a solid group of CRNAs.

The operating room uses block scheduling and has plans to add another operating room in the future. The hospital owns a nearby ambulatory surgery center for more operating room time, although I don't utilize it.

Outpatient and inpatient care is excellent.

The hospital has a busy emergency room, but it is not a trauma center. All significant trauma patients in the area are transported to Huntsville Hospital.

Two Adjacent Buildings
I also own the building next door, 1208 Somerville Road. It is a 1,425-square-foot building that is perfect as a clinical or clerical office building. I used it as a skin care clinic in the past. It is currently leased, but it could be available in the future.

Summary
This is clearly the best office space available in the medical district. To contact me about the building, call 256-274-1147
