Sidekick - Autumn 2016 - West - 9
For more than a year, Dr. Garrik
Jones and Dr. Darrick Zirker,
owners of Jones & Zirker
Family Dentistry in Iowa City,
Iowa, have watched their
general dentistry practice grow
dramatically. Referrals are up, patient
volume has increased, and staff and patient
satisfaction have been outstanding. All
of these positive developments can be
attributed to the construction of a new
office in November 2015.
This beautiful office occupies 4,900 squarefeet in a brand new, stand-alone building
the doctors constructed in the upscale
housing and commercial development
known as Blackstone. It was built to
remedy specific challenges that previously
held the doctors back from providing a
top-notch patient experience in their old
office. Some of those deficiencies included
a lower-level location that wasn't ADA
accessible for patients with physical
challenges; a dark and dated interior with
old operatory furniture, cabinetry, and
delivery units that were not ergonomical;
a lack of privacy for patient check-in
and check-out; and limited space for an
employee lounge or even lockers.
New Practice Larger, Accessible, Visible
Within the new location the doctors were
able to implement solutions to each of
their space problems while equipping
the new practice with additional features
that have contributed to their inspiring
success. First, they went from a cramped
1960s style office with just 2,900 squarefeet to a brand new, bright floor plan that
is 2,000 square-feet larger and designed
intentionally to maximize efficiency and
minimize wasted steps and space. The
office is level with the parking lot, so it is
fully accessible to those who struggle with
stairs or walking long distances, and it is
more visible than the previous location,
right on the edge of a large residential area.
In the old building, a number of other
tenants had begun to move out, leaving
vacant space or new tenants with different
business models. However, at their new
location, Jones & Zirker Family Dentistry
is in a growing, thriving area that is only
going to get busier.
The new Jones & Zirker Family Dentistry
office has 12 operatories, compared to just
seven in the old location. By expanding
the number of treatment rooms, the doctors
had enough capacity to purchase three
local practices, incorporating their patients
and three doctors into the practice. Today,
five doctors practice alongside one another.
