judgment on this big undertaking. I knew
he would lead me in the right direction,
helping me select equipment and redesign
the space, and in general, just fulfilling my
dream in as painless a process as possible,
both financially and time-wise. Truly the
only limitation [of the office] was that some
of the old equipment was beginning to
fail," confirmed the doctor. "The new space
needed the newest dental chairs, dental
units, and cabinetry, as well as new X-ray
equipment and a dedicated space for a larger
team to relax and have lunch."
"This refreshed facility lets us
breathe a little better, knowing
that everything is new and won't
require so many repairs,"
Dr. Rifkin commented.
A Creative Design Expands Treatment
Capacity in the Same Square Footage
Because there wasn't additional square
footage available for expansion, the team
had to be creative, repurposing a private
office into a surgical suite and expanding the
employee lounge by pushing out one of the
walls into the hallway. Mr. Cuellar recruited
Joe Wilson, a Henry Schein Equipment Sales
Specialist, to help translate the doctor's
objectives into the best technology solutions.
"The practice was using a digital processor,
along with DEXIS sensors," said Mr. Wilson.
"The doctor replaced the digital processor
with a Belmont digital imaging system,
chosen because of its workhorse reputation
for reliability."
Mr. Wilson also walked the doctors through
a variety of options in practice equipment,
and Dr. Rifkin and her soon-to-be-partner,
her son, Dr. Zachary Rifkin, traveled to see
the options for themselves.
They first traveled to North Carolina for a
practice design seminar, and then to Portland
to tour the A-dec facility together with their
Henry Schein team. Dr. Rifkin used her
existing A-dec equipment every day, and
after decades of use, she was convinced of
the brand's longevity and reliability, and
decided to purchase A-dec again for the
renovation.

The 3,100 square foot office has nine closed-bay operatories, separated by
center cabinets. The ninth operatory, added during the build by reconstructing
the doctor's personal office, is now a dedicated surgical suite.
