Designed for High Performance
Design Ergonomics was founded and continues to be managed by practicing dentist Dr. David Ahearn. Over 20 years we have developed design principles based on exhaustive research into diverse manufacturing and production industries as well as dental specific ergonomic motion studies.
The result – a design philosophy which has created a portfolio of practices that lead the nation in productivity, efficiency and comfort.

Taking practices to the next level…
Dr. Collins & Stokes“Some of our biggest concerns were related to the unknown. How do you get the flow of the office right? How do you make sure everything is in the proper place? How do you create a space that matches your vision and stay within a reasonable budget? How do I know what I don’t know? This is where D/E set itself apart.
“They understood what our mental struggles were before we knew what they were.”
They have a great system to help you from conceptual thinking all the way to final design. We now have an office that we are proud of esthetically and functionally. However the greatest complement is when patients state that they have never been to any medical office this nice and have never been treated so well.”
Dr. Collins & Stokes“They understood what our mental struggles were before we knew what they were.”
Dr. Colleen & Bill Bullard“The team at Design Ergonomics is FANTASTIC! From the first step in the design project and the blocking diagram, all the way to the installation of the Design Ergonomics equipment, their team is amazing.
“Our Design Ergonomics office has changed the way our team works and has dramatically improved our efficiency”
The sterilization, re-stock and supply area has allowed us to get better control of our inventory and keeps our 10 ops. turning over quickly. They even came to Michigan to convert our old operatories to Design Ergonomics delivery systems.”

Dr. Paul Keelan“I cannot imagine going through the monumental task of building a new dental office without Design Ergonomics. The wealth of knowledge that they shared with me, the portfolio of completed projects they could show me and their infinite patience with my many questions were invaluable.
“You could not find a group of people more committed to your success.”
They were extremely flexible in allowing me to choose the level of service I wanted…and nothing they designed for me was “cookie cutter”. They listened to each one of my suggestions and made it possible to build the office exactly the way I wanted.”
