That commitment brought him to A-dec’s Newberg, Ore., facility, where the doctor spent a full day with Surma, Patterson Sales Representative David Balyeat and an A-dec representative watching how the equipment is made and trying out different configurations and layouts. Though he had used an A-dec chair in his previous office and was impressed with it, by the end of his A-dec Educational Experience, the doctor knew he wanted to equip his entire practice with A-dec products.

One of Dr. Lazare’s biggest priorities was an integrated delivery system that put all of his handpieces and intraoral camera within arm’s reach, without dangling cords. Not only would it make him and his staff more productive, an integrated system would also make patients feel more at ease in the chair. The A-dec 533 Continental Delivery System was the perfect solution for a clutter-free operatory.
Patients can truly relax in the A-dec 511 chairs while listening to music on an iPod Touch loaded with a full iTunes library, Pandora Radio and satellite radio, or watching Netflix or one of more than 1,000 movies playing on a digital television. “The second patients get in the chair, they are texting pictures to their friends or tweeting about their experience at the office,” said Dr. Lazare.
A longtime Eaglesoft and digital imaging user, Dr. Lazare knew that these technologies would be integral to his practice. He took it a step further in the new office and went completely paperless. His staff uses Eaglesoft eServices to automate time-consuming activities such as appointment reminders, insurance claims and statements, and patients complete their health history on an iPad. This is not only better for the environment; it also frees the staff to spend more time on what really matters – patient care. “We put service above all else and focus on patients and their happiness,” said Dr. Lazare.
