Office Size
The next consideration is size. How large of an office do you need? Space is measured in square feet. A rule of
thumb for the size of a practice facility is 1200 to 1500 square feet for the first physician and 1000 to 1200
square feet for each additional physician up to 4 or 5. Certain professional suites, such as those for psychiatrists,
have less need for space. Some practices may require additional space for equipment, such as x-ray or other imaging
equipment.
