Doctor's office goes green

My orthopedic surgeon (North Penn Orthopaedic Associates) moved to new digs this week — from an older building in Lansdale to a brand new office building in Chalfont — and one of the first things I wanted to know from him on my most recent visit was whether or not he had any say in decorating the place.
You see, his name is Dr. Thomas Greene and his new office is decked out in . . . all green. From the carpets to the floor tiles, from the office furniture to the smocks worn by the office workers, everything is green, and a good bit of it is lime green.
I knew the 1970s would eventually come back around, which means my lime green leisure suit is back in style. (Or maybe not.)
“Why do you ask, because everything is green?” said a laughing Dr. Greene when I inquired. “No, I didn’t have anything to do with it.”
I thought for sure he might have had something to do with it. Even if he didn’t, I think he should have a little fun with it and say he did.
That’s not to suggest that the décor is unattractive. It’s just a lot of green in one place. And the furniture is so new that it needs to be broken in a little bit. I offered to bounce up and down on some of the chairs while I waited, but I got right in to see the doctor and didn’t have much of a chance to contribute.
Apparently my knee, on which I had surgery about six months ago, is coming along fine, which means I shouldn’t have to see much more of Dr. Greene’s green office as I continue to heal properly.
But it’s good to know that if I have some specific colors in mind for home decorating needs, I can call Dr. Greene’s designers — Interiors By Kermit The Frog.
