Matsco Winner 2006
"As our project began, it was clear that Bob Durfey and his team were going to be hands on with the various issues of our project. The communication was excellent from beginning to end and his years of experience building dental offices proved to be invaluable when making key decisions during our project.
The results are outstanding as evidenced by our office receiving the 2006 Matsco / Dental Economics Dental Office Design Competition's Best New Practice Award. We love coming into our office everyday! When patients see the craftsmanship, quality and comfort reflected in our office design, our patients trust they are going to receive the same with their recommended treatment. We don't have to "sell" dentistry!
As our practice continues to grow, we foresee expanding into a bigger facility. When we get to that point, the first person we'll call will be Bob Durfey and his team at EnviroMed Design Group."
