In his own words:

When I started my job, I never had the opportunity to really move into my office. As a result, after three years, my space was embarrassing. There were papers piled everywhere, and chairs and boxes clogging walking areas.

The walls were bare except for a single diploma which was hung on a pre-existing hook. My office did not have usable workspace, and it was not somewhere I could talk to patients and their families.

After Melissa worked with me, my office was organized with large amounts of working space. The walls and shelves were decorated with things that reflect the most important parts of me, both personally and professionally. She helped me develop a system to process incoming written material so that my disorganization would not recur.

As a result, my office is now a place I enjoy spending time in. I have met with patients and families in my office and have observed them “checking me out” by surreptitiously examining my decorations and organization. The office has remained orderly and free of clutter.
