When Dr. Stan Lowrance partnered with Design Ergonomics, it wasn’t just about creating a larger or more modern facility. It was about setting the foundation for something much bigger: a fulfilling next chapter in dentistry, with the right people by his side.

“I think of the people at Design Ergonomics as part of my team. And when you’re building something like this, you need a team.”

A Team That Goes Beyond Your Office

For any doctor planning to design and build a dental facility, the people you surround yourself with are everything. It’s not just your in-office team of assistants, hygienists, and front desk staff. It’s also your architect, your contractor, your banker... and your design partner.

Building a Space That Reflects the Future

Since completing the build, the transformation has been incredible:

  • The team has grown from 4 to 13 employees

  • The practice is now averaging 60 new patients per month—up from just 12 to 14

  • They’ve equipped 8 treatment rooms, with 5 more ready to grow into

  • They made the strategic decision early on to build out 13 chairs, supporting both current demand and long-term scalability

But numbers aren’t the only story here. The most meaningful feedback came from someone who knows Dr. Lowrance best.

“The greatest compliment I got was from my wife—she said, ‘You’re doing it right.’”

Redefining the End Game

After nearly 36 years in practice, Dr. Lowrance wasn’t looking to wind down. He was looking to redefine his role, to find a way to keep doing what he loves without burning out.

Now, as Clinical Director, he mentors two associates (with his daughter soon to join the practice). He has the space, systems, and support to lead without stepping away. And he’s doing it on his own terms.

“I’m not ready to quit. I love mentoring—it’s part of me. I don’t want that old end game of going home and trying to figure out what to do next. I want to stay in the game.”
