We are highly experienced in assisting tenants and buyers find the perfect medical office for their needs. No matter the size of the medical staff or the necessary capabilities of the building, we’re here to help you. Before covering our process for the medical office search, let’s discuss what you should look for in this type of property.

First and foremost, it’s extremely important that your medical office is top-quality. If your patients feel as though the space is unclean, unprofessional, or unprepared, there is a good chance they won’t come back. So, purchase or lease a building that looks and feels great. Other than that, pay attention to the factors below when looking for a medical office:

If your medical office will have an emergency room, or provide specialized care, you will need an ambulance entrance. This is oftentimes a carport with a direct path from the road. It can be challenging and expensive to change a parking lot’s structure or design, so this is a very important consideration. Ambulances need to be able to easily enter your parking lot and drive up to your building, so your staff can access the patient in distress. If you plan on having an emergency room, consider where it’s located.

Another important factor in choosing a medical office space is location. For one, your employees should be able to easily get to the office. Preferably, it will be off a major freeway or near other buildings, like corporate offices or banks. Second, your patients should be able to get to the office very easily. Patients are more likely to visit a medical practice if the location is easily accessible. The exception to this might be a specialty doctor. So, keep this in mind when choosing your location.

It’s no secret that medical buildings tend to be expensive to run. Additionally, it can be a challenge to make a profit in the medical industry. So, the cost of the building you purchase or lease should be a major consideration. Be sure you will be able to afford the building, even if you have a slow month. However, you don’t want price to sway your decision between a great building and an outdated one. Your building should be inviting to existing and prospective patients. It may be that the more expensive location will be more likely to bring in business.
