Turning the Medical Office into a Memorable Customer Experience

01. Issue

Vance Thompson Vision of Sioux Falls, South Dakota was located in a medical building that greatly limited the practice’s ability to treat their patients in a way that reflected their mission to be "the best on Earth” in terms of customer experience.  They were already world class in terms of surgical outcomes and wanted to make sure the overall experience was suited to match.
