Themed Offices – Yes or No?

You may be surprised but I am going to give a big thumbs UP to themed office – with the proviso that the theme you choose is something you are passionate about.

If you are a huge Dodger fan, or a golf nut, or a photography expert, or a lover of modern art – it is super to decorate your office around your passion. Your office should be an extension of you. It is fun to let your personality show through at your office.

A themed office opens the door for lots of questions and makes you feel at home in your daily environment. People will like the office as long as your theme is not wacky.

I do not advise creating a themed office around something you are not passionate about. I know a dentist who opened a deep sea fishing themed office and he doesn’t fish. When patients ask questions about fishing he looks bored. The theme does not work because it is not his passion.

I’m a tennis nut – I should have opened a tennis themed office – old rackets on the walls, pictures of past champions, put tennis nets across the walls. It would have been fun and when anyone asked me if I liked tennis – I would light up like a Christmas tree. I love talking tennis. It would have been an authentic theme and would have worked.

Themed offices only work when the theme fits you.

    I think when dentist offices are themed it helps the patients to feel more comfortable and don't get so nervous going to the dentist. It needs to be a friendly theme and something that children will enjoy as well. I think that a dentist office should do as much as possible for the patients comfort. http://www.tylerdentalcare.com

    I completely agree with you. I think as a patient, it is nice to learn a little more about your dentist. I would enjoy walking in and seeing that you are passionate about something. I say a big yes to the themed offices. http://www.southtraildental.com

    I think it would be awesome to got to a dentist with a themed office. I'm sure kids would really love it as well, because it makes the experience so much more pleasant. It should be done at every family dental office. http://www.jacobridldds.com/

    It is hilarious that your acquaintance doesn't like fishing at all. I was going to nominate sea themes as the best. I love how complex and diverse saltwater tanks can be. I would go to a dentist just to look at their aquariums.

    I agree that it's a good idea to surround yourself with things that you are passionate about. I'm happier when I do that. It makes things more personal at work and is relaxing.

    I love the idea. My dentist is also an artist who loves painting nature and cool scenery. He has several of his paintings in the office. http://www.lighthousedental.net

    Every dentist choose the theme, which they have interest in. So they can widely explain to interested patients about it. And i agree that theme you choose is something you are passionate about. We help dentist to manage their Dentists Social Media account and to promote dental clinic and services to followers and get viral traffic to your website, which will help to improve your ROI.

    It's nice to see themed dentist office , instead of regular "hospital" ones, but you have to know when it's enough, not to overdo it. Good luck!

    It's a good idea for dentists offices to have themes. I think it would make it really fun for the kids, despite the fact that they are at the dentist. It probably helps ease the anxiety. A fish tank is also a good idea, because what little kid doesn't like fish? http://www.tryonfamilydentistry.com/

    I've personally never seen a themed dental office before. I imagine it'd be neat to see one sometime, as long as it's actually something that they are passionate about. Basing it around something you have no passion for wouldn't be too fun for the patients if they couldn't ask you about it.

      You have really been missing out. Themed offices can be a lot of fun, especially for children. I am particularly fond of designs that include aquariums. If you are nervous about seeing the dentist, watching the fish is an excellent way to relax.

    It is really important for a dentist to have a good layout for his/her clinic.Especially, if she /he is a pediatric dentist. He/She should lay out his office very appealing to the eyes of the kids, it is helpful to divert the fear they feel of going to dentist.

    My sister called me yesterday, and she told me that she was looking for a dentist. I guess that her teeth have been hurting and she isn't sure why. Once she sees the dentist, he will be able to tell her what is wrong with her mouth. http://www.jpdentalgroup.com/

      On-campus instruction vs. internet education! Is one as good as the alternative? Can a person completely replace other? Indeed it sounds as if online education is a way into the future.

    Definitely will agree with you on this one that themed dentist offices are a must. It is a great way for people to enjoy their wait and feel at ease when they are there. Plus, it makes them look more professional when they do. That is why I choose offices with themes over any other dentist office.
