way, Stockett said, patients and clients don’t have to fight through employee traffic on the way into the exam space.
Behind the exam rooms is a whole world swimming with activity, including the lab/pharmacy, offices and workspace, a treatment center, an isolation room to quarantine patients with communicable disease, and cages for overnight observation and care.
At the outset of this project, Stockett wanted the differentiator between County Line and other nearby services to be the combined surgery center and general care facility. With the help of Patterson Equipment Specialist Matt Fletcher, he was able to bring that lofty vision into living color.
“We knew we wanted a digital X-ray table and top-end surgical lights, but Matt Fletcher really helped steer us into the exact brands and models that fit our needs,” said Stockett. “We even had a situation just before our grand opening where Matt brought to our attention that the X-ray table we ordered was giving other practices issues out of the box. He ended up finding us an upgrade, and negotiated the cost to match the one we had to replace.”
County Line Practice Manager Danielle Atkinson echoed the sentiment.
“Matt really helped with the build-out process, because he was able to make suggestions to the contractors that they wouldn’t have thought of since they don’t

Fletcher said the team at County Line was fully capable of making sound decisions, but that he was able to help steer choices and uncover key insights to help the practice stay between the guideposts of economy and innovation.
