Well, I now know all about triple net and commercial gross leases. Was I out the day they covered that in medical school?
Rebecca and I looked at a space on route 7 near Holmes Road, and then went back to the developer at the Lenox Shops to negotiate the lease he’d offered. He was pretty accomodating. It looks like we’ll be paying $16-18 per square foot for commercial space anywhere in Lenox. The Lenox Shops is closer to my house, which is nice; and I think we could get the build-out done sooner there. The lawyers have the lease now, so we’ll see what happens.
In other words: I still don’t have an office. But we’re making progress.
John Burnham asked me if I would stay through July at Dalton Medical. I’m thinking about it. I had started scheduling patients for July but I’m not sure the new office will be ready by then – so, if worse came to worse, I could see them in Dalton. And I’d have an extra month of salary and health coverage, before taking the plunge.
Maybe part-time in Dalton in July.
So many people have helped us along the way. Good advice from Larry at Arcadian Shop, Dave Nadig, Kathy Yurfest (big time) and of course Richard Simons. Even one of my patients – ill, bedbound, and awaiting a major surgery – volunteered to help when she recovers. I practically cried.

I finally figured it out: $16.00 sq. foot is what I’m paying in Northampton. That’s without parking, but with heat. So the lease you’re being offered sounds competitive to me. I hope the negotiations go well. Love,
DR SCHAMESS, IF YOU NEED ANY KIND OF OFFICE HELP, UNTIL YOU GET YOUR STAFF SITUATED, I CAN VOLUNTEER TO ASSIST. I HAVE WORKED IN MEDICAL OFFICES IN MY PAST, AND CAN SET UP FILES, SCHEDULE APPTS, AND GENERALLY KEEP THINGS ORGANIZED. LET ME KNOW IF I CAN BE OF USE TO YOU IN THIS EXCITING VENTURE.
you should post this on the door:
