It does look like that but it is actually a complete doctor&#8217;s office. Don&#8217;t believe me?

Rents are high, rents are paid by the square feet, minimize the square feet, minimize the rent, <strike>reduce the cost to the patient <\/strike>&nbsp;increase doctor&#8217;s take home.<\/p>\n<p>Waiting rooms you ask? Wait in your car. You&#8217;ll be parked right outside. It&#8217;s kind of small you thnk? How much room do you need? If the doctor needs more room, he can open the door and you can both step outside? Why all the glass? Cuts down on the electric bill.<\/p>\n<p>What about modesty and privacy? Hah! Aren&#8217;t you the one who blogged about your colonoscopy? Posted about passing gas on facebook? Puhlease give me a break on your modesty. Besides, are you really sick or not?<\/p>\n<p>There are lots of advantages if you think about it. You want to know if the doctor is in? Just take a look. You want to know what&#8217;s wrong with that nice looking person that had appointment in front of you? Step up to the window and find out for yourself. You might learn something. It might be something you saw on Grey&#8217;s Anatomy last night so you can just tap on the glass and let them know. Crowd sourced medicine, very edgy, very cool.<\/p>\n<p>Good old American know how and that can do attitude.
