Medical Office Furniture

When looking for medical office furniture – quality should be first and foremost in your mind. Patients, doctors and staff alike make sometimes-grueling use of medical office furniture on a daily basis  - and because of this – your medical office furniture needs to be as comfortable and as functional as it is durable.

Waiting room furniture is in constant daily use by patients and must be comfortable as no one, especially someone who is not feeling well, wants to be uncomfortable while sitting for long stretches in the waiting room. This furniture should also be easily (and regularly) sanitized. For this reason – you should avoid medical office furniture that tends to harbor germs and bacteria.

One good recommendation would be Enet Furniture’s combo table and chairs. These come in various combinations and offer fabric or mesh backrests. The mesh-back chairs would be the obvious, although slightly more expensive, choice as it would be easier to clean and sanitize than the fabric offerings from this company. A two-chair – two-table all-in-one set goes for just under $600.

It is absolutely imperative not to scrimp when investing in an examining table for your doctor’s office.  Safety and ease of adjustment regarding height and position are important features in this aspect of medical office furniture.

If your office demands the best in powered exam tables then the Clinton Power Echo Image Table on Casters which lists for almost seven grand but can be realistically purchased for just over $4,000 online – will meet the most demanding day-to-day needs of most any doctor’s office.

However, sometimes a simpler and less expensive table is what is needed. One I’ve found that would serve as an auxiliary table in your extra examining room or even in a medical tent on a battlefield or disaster area would be the Winco Treatment Table w/Face Cutout.  With a paper towel holder and cutter, adjustable leveling feet, two inch foam padding and a thick vinyl upholstery covering – this table, while not adjustable, may be the perfect solution for your medical office, hospital or medical unit. It can purchased for under $290 online.

A great example of a non-powered adjustable table with ample storage room underneath would be the – Clinton Epic exam Table. And while this table lists for over $800 – it can be easily purchased for well under $600 online.

Furniture for your reception and filing area should be sturdy, safe, ergonomic and easy to use. Reception desks range greatly in price, size and functionality. From the simple Brighton Reception Desk Series (from about $699) to the elaborate Ovation Custom Reception Desk/Workstation for about $5,000 there is a wide variety of choices on the market today.

Filing cabinets should have drawers that slide easily, are safe (without sharp corners) and are fire-resistant for the ultimate in protection for your patient’s records. Plan on investing two to three thousand dollars in a good filing cabinet. SwabCorp. and Fire King have excellent filing cabinets that more than fit these recommendations.

Above all, remember that your medical office furniture is an essential and exceedingly important component regarding the ultimate success of your medical office. So – safety, functionality, durability, comfort and ergonomic quality should be of the highest of concerns when selecting your particular medical office furniture.
