Dental Office Design for 'Smarties'
Boston, MA •Saturday, October 21, 2017 • 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.
This course focuses on Garrett's pragmatic approach to design and follows his time-tested formula for office design, from inception to completion. Additionally, the course will concentrate on other essential guidance, based on Garrett's philosophy and company slogan, “Profit By Design.” Among them are examples of how function, flow and ergonomics result in office homeostasis. Those elements will be intertwined with methods to identify and resolve challenges and avert problems. Lastly, attendees are invited to submit examples of their own “war stories” regarding challenges that they have faced or for those which they are currently facing.

Speaker Information
GARRETT LUDWIG, Dental Office Design Specialist. Garrett has worked in the building trades since his late teens. During the years that followed, he owned and operated a cabinet manufacturing company; specializing in residential remodeling. That experience helped to hone his proficiency in the management of associated trade services. Subsequently, a local dentist, for whom Garrett had performed a renovation, inspired him to focus his design and problem-solving skills on the needs of the dental industry.
Following his participation in a course in Four-Handed Dentistry at Colombia University, Garrett began integrating dental delivery components into his custom, treatment-cabinet designs; thereby optimizing the ergonomic delivery of clinical services.
Garrett was motivated to study architectural design with the encouragement of his clients; thereby completing the loop of comprehensive design and management services. Garrett later joined the Academy of Dental Management Consultants in an effort to refine his comprehension of administrative operations.
