Doctor's office of the future could shake up healthcare

Dimly lit waiting room is replaced by a futuristic healthcare center


The Oscar Center healthcare facility in Brooklyn, N.Y., is being called the doctor's office of the future and was designed to shake up healthcare, according to an article on the Business Insider websider website.

The insurance company's facility is part of a partnership with Mount Sinai that combines Oscar health insurance with Mount Sinai physicians.

The Oscar Center has opened its doors to members looking for a simplified and futuristic doctor visit. Gone are the clipboards asking for a medical history and receptionists behind desks; gone is the dimly lit waiting room. They've been replaced by a futuristic healthcare center that will serve as both a doctor's office and a community wellness center, the article said.

When patients step off the elevator, they can see inside the community space to the left and the lobby straight ahead.
