General Principles

• Team members should be clean, professional, conservative, & modest.
• Hair needs to be well groomed and conservative in color and style.  If working with patients, long hair needs to kept pulled back.
• Clothing needs to be kept in good repair.
• Jewelry should be conservative and not interfere with your job duties. (Earrings should be limited, with no tonge ring, etc.)
• Team members must wear a personalized name tag.
• Overall, make sure you look and dress nice. Spending a few extra minutes goes a long way at maintaining the image we hold for our patients. How we look determines how our quality is portrayed.
• Modesty is very important. DownEast makes a few great undershirts that can help. See some examples to the right.
• Facial hair should be kept trimmed and well groomed.

Doctors

• Button up shirt and dress slacks, pressed lab coat with the doctor’s name.
• Office will buy and pay for laundering of coats.
• Ties are recommended but optional. (CTC Associates says this will increase net profits by 5-10%)

Front Desk

• Classy business dress.
• No Jeans.
• Black Slacks on color days
• Office will cover $75 per outfit regularly, if for a "office matching color day"

Hygienist/Assistants

• Like most things, we don’t wear normal scrubs.  We only wear the really nice ones.
• The office will pay for 100% of the cost for any new scrubs you need as long as they are for a office matching color day, of a pattern of our choosing, of nicer design i.e. ties, fitted, upscale, or classy design.
• Scrubs: no prints, kept in good repair, not faded, & not wrinkled.
• Lab coats are recommended for doctors, assistants, and as a matter of OSHA the office will launder them on site or have a 3rd party perform the service.
• Turn uniform receipts into office managers for reimbursement.
