The expansion is the first in a phased growth plan with a second comprehensive spine care facility on North Central Expressway in Dallas, opening in the fall of 2010. MISI’s new Las Colinas location occupies 7,000 square feet on MacArthur Boulevard, just North of Cottonwood Lane. The new facility will enhance the patient experience by treating the mind and body – providing doctor visit accommodations, physical therapy, massage therapy, chiropractic services and acupuncture.
Designed by Holtman Design, the new MISI office provides state-of-the-art equipment to suit the needs of each patient and was built to focus on back health. The facility features floating ceilings, a color palette, online appointment scheduler, pharmacy refill capabilities, and a high-tech phone system.
Patients are welcomed in a modern space that is complemented by creamy whites, yellows, chocolate browns and deep turquoises. The facility was created with an intricate attention to detail, including light grey carpeting, complementary tile selections, circular reception desk and lighted pendants. The overall design approach creates a spa-like environment – one that promotes a tranquil, non-threatening ambiance while also exemplifying the progressive, state-of-the-art nature of MISI.
The waiting room includes a 55 inches flat panel TV and a 47 inches flat panel LCD TV that will host an array of patient spine care education. The theater system boasts classical and jazz music lightly in the background. For the comfort of MISI guests, secured wireless Internet and a barista bar have been included. Stainless roller barn doors – imported from Germany – will give patients access to the back of the practice. The reception area also includes registration cubicles, a dining room and patient information area. The lobby can also double as a seminar area for future patients.
All clinical and staff areas contain finishes, lighting and casework to meet all infection control and stain resistance criteria. Eight private exam rooms feature high-end flooring, light grey carpeting and multi-colored cabinets.
MISI was the first practice in Texas to perform endoscopic, or camera-assisted, laser spine surgery and the first in Texas to do so with an incision of less than three millimeters.
