A dream practice becomes reality
When Fischer purchased the original building in 1995 to start her practice,
she knew she wanted to obtain the twin building next door as soon as
the orthodontist practicing there retired. That opportunity presented itself in 2012,
and she was able to purchase the second building, allowing her to double
the size of her space, and build an eight-operatory practice.
The construction process began in fall 2012 and was complete in August 2013.
During that time, Fischer and her staff worked in the original space while
the newly purchased office was gutted, remodeled, and a connector was built
between the two offices with a new sterilization area, an entrance and waiting room.
The team then moved into the new space while the original office was gutted and remodeled.
“It was awesome,” said Fischer of the process.
“It took some major engineering to make the offices come together seamlessly
and to be able to work during construction. It was a pretty smooth process and
everything went as planned,” she added.

Fischer credits her Patterson team for helping make the remodel process so easy
and for introducing her to the contractor who helped make the construction process
go smoothly. Patterson Representative Chip Flinchum and his team were heavily involved
in the project and Flinchum commented that “With any renovation,
there are so many details that encompass the entire scope of the project.
It can be overwhelming, so I tried to help simplify the process for Dr. Fischer
to make this as wonderful and calm an experience as it could be. We were also fortunate
to be able to construct her office in two phases so that she could minimize downtime
and keep her office running full speed from beginning to end through the entire project.”
