Dental Clinic Observation Paper

The two clinics I visited were Farm Workers Clinic and the second clinic was actually a dental clinic Yakima Dental Center and Orthodontics. I will begin by writing about what I observed at Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic, and I will start with the lighting I would say that the lighting was adequate for patients and it was not too bright nor dim. As for me, I think the lighting in the room was comfortable for the patients. When I sat down, I sat beside the window, which also brought in natural light into the reception area.

In addition, the traffic flow is also wide and open giving the patients comfortable space to easily move.
As to having activities, the clinic did have a coffee table with several magazines, and they have a television, which was on. The clinic was playing music quietly in the background it seemed as if they were listening to radio Disney. I did not see any special items for children. The reception area was also clean and comfortable, and they have a water cooler by the sitting
