Medical office building lobby in Gilroy

What we cover.

Many patients arrive already on edge, whether it is a child’s checkup or a dental visit they have dreaded all week. A steady, friendly officer by the entrance points them to the right office, keeps the waiting room settled and gives the front desk backup if a visitor becomes upset.

Outside, the officer walks the lot, stays nearby while staff close up for the night and checks the building once everyone has gone. If an alarm trips at night, alarm response sends an officer so the office manager doesn’t have to drive in.

Unarmed lobby officers fit medical buildings best, with a manner that puts patients at ease.

Alarm response

An officer heads to your Gilroy property when the alarm trips, so your manager can stay in bed.

A day in a medical office lobby

The officer arrives before the first patients and walks the building and the lot. Through the morning they greet people at the entrance, point them to the right office and keep the waiting areas settled. When a visitor becomes upset, the officer steps in calmly so the front desk can keep working.

Early and late appointments

Early-morning and evening appointments mean the parking lot is often dark when patients and staff come and go. A pass through the lot at those times, and an officer nearby when staff leave, makes the end of the day feel safer.

After the last appointment

Once the offices close, patrol stops overnight can check the doors and the lot through the night and on weekends. If the alarm trips, an officer goes instead of the practice manager. Every check is logged and reported by email, so the office starts the next day knowing how the night went.

Keeping the tone right

A medical lobby is no place for a stern checkpoint. Officers on these posts dress neatly, speak quietly and treat every patient as a guest. They know the suite numbers, the restrooms and the elevator, and they let the front desk lead on anything to do with appointments.

A simple start

A practice can begin with an officer for opening and closing and patrol at night, then add lobby hours if the reports show a need. A free walkthrough is the easiest way to work out the right starting point for your building.

Medical and dental office security costs in Gilroy

Medical lobby officers in Gilroy usually run $45 to $50 an hour. Clinics with early and late appointments need the post open longer than a typical office does. After closing, the officer walks the lot while staff head to their cars and checks the building once everyone is gone.

Picture an urgent care clinic open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day with an officer for the full schedule: 84 hours a week. At $49 an hour, that’s $4,116 a week. A dental office that wants an officer only from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays for the late appointments and lockup buys 15 hours a week, about $735 at the same rate. Overnight alarms go to alarm response, billed by the call-out rather than by the hour. Clinics that keep medications on site can add a lockup check to the post orders.
