Designed for Airflow, Filtration and Environmental Control
A purpose built facility engineered to manage air movement and filtration intentionally.
How our Airflow System works
Our facility operates with a negative pressure air system intentionally engineered to manage airflow within clinical spaces. Air is drawn upward and away from treatment areas, helping to reduce lateral movement between operatories and limit cross contamination.
Rather than circulating passively, air is directed vertically into a dedicated filtration pathway that was integrated into the architectural design of the building from the outset.
The system incorporates triple stage air purification, including high efficiency HEPA and MERV-16 filtration, ionization with air scrubbing technology, and internal UVC irradiation within the filtration chamber. As air moves through this controlled pathway, it is filtered and treated before recirculation.
This layered approach supports consistent air exchange while maintaining an open, comfortable clinical environment.Real Time

Sealed and Filtered Building Envelope
Our facility was constructed with a sealed building envelope designed to limit intrusion of outside particulates such as dust, pollen, and environmental contaminants. Incoming air is directed through the filtration system before circulation within clinical areas.
By controlling both internal airflow patterns and external air entry, the building maintains a managed environment rather than relying on uncontrolled outside air exchange.
This integrated design supports consistent air quality while preserving the open, light-filled atmosphere of the space.
Patient Requested Safety Accommodations
For patients who prefer additional precautionary measures, we offer optional accommodations that can be arranged in advance of your appointment.
These include:
Staff use of N95 masks during your visit upon request
The option to reserve clinic time so no other patients are present in the building during your appointment
We understand that individual comfort levels vary, particularly for medically complex or immunocompromised patients. Our team is happy to discuss scheduling and environmental preferences to support a visit that feels both comfortable and thoughtfully managed.
