Kristo is also pleased with the A-dec chairs’ comfortable, ergonomic design, as well as the two computer screens attached to each workstation, which allow him to conduct X-ray evaluations chairside. He is also happy with the fact that each patient gets his or her own brushing area, which is neatly tucked into the other side of each workspace cabinet.

Kristo said the A-dec delivery units and chairs he selected have also changed the way he envisions treatment at all of his locations. “They have brought standardization to our clinics and greatly improved efficiencies in the way we deliver services.”

Other updates to the practice include the sterilization area, which was reimagined to serve as a hub for the treatment area and further enhances efficiency. Another crucial addition is the treatment coordinator rooms, which feature big-screen monitors where Kristo and his team can present cases to patients and their families.

“I strive to offer the best to my patients and operate a progressive office because I’m passionate about staying on top of the latest trends in the industry,” Kristo said. “It’s all about making sure the patients get the best orthodontic care available and the best service.”

Muellenbach added, “This orthodontic practice is a step ahead in terms of aesthetics and level of equipment. Dr. Kristo is focused on the quality of products and the overall design, and it shows.”

The actual construction and remodeling of the flagship office was conducted in stages, which allowed Kristo and his team to remain open throughout the process. “Patterson and the general contractor, Royal Construction, did an amazing job in coordinating everything,” Kristo said.

Since the new space opened, Kristo and his team have received overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients. “Our patients love it! We have gotten outstanding reviews from all of them about the new look, comfort level and convenience – all the things that draw people here,” he said.

Kristo views the new practice as a long-term investment in his business, one that he wanted to get right the first time. “I spend so much time in my workplaces and each one is a huge reflection of me. It’s the face of my practice,” Kristo said. “As I work to take my brand of orthodontics and make it part of Wisconsin and its communities, I will partner with Patterson because I know they are looking out for me.”
