Has Your Medical Practice Outgrown Its Office Space?
Does your medical practice suffer from any of the following?
Headaches from not enough exam rooms
Excessive sweating over a lease that will expire soon
Upset stomach from being too far from where your patients live now
You may have an outgrown medical practice. It’s common in Georgetown, TX.
The symptoms may be comical, but the problems are real and can be treated.
POLL: More Than Half of Medical Groups Planned to Add or Move
In a January 2023 poll by the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA), 53% of medical groups that responded said they planned to add or relocate a practice facility in the next two years.
In an earlier MGMA poll from 2018, practices planning a move said why: the practice was growing, and the space was too small. MGMA’s own relocation advice adds a lease running out, patients who now live somewhere else, and layout or parking.
Why This Is Happening in Georgetown
MGMA advises practices to look at population data before deciding where to grow.
Consider Georgetown’s 2020 Census. The city had about 67,000 residents. By July 2025, the Census Bureau estimated nearly 107,000. That’s almost 40,000 new neighbors in five years. That’s about 20 every day. And every one of them needs a doctor.
Do the math. So many patients, same number of exam rooms. That’s how a practice outgrows its space, and it won’t get better on its own.
5 Signs Your Medical Practice Has Outgrown Its Space
Most practices don’t decide one day to move. They notice it one problem at a time:
No open exam room. A patient is ready and no exam room is open.
Providers trading rooms. Providers share rooms or trade days to make the schedule work.
No room for the next hire. You want to add a provider and have nowhere to put one.
Parking complaints. Patients mention parking, or circle the lot before they find a space.
A lease clock running. Your lease ends in the next two years and you haven’t decided what’s next.
Why Another Retail Suite Isn’t the Answer
When a practice runs out of room, the easy move is a bigger retail suite. Eric Visser, co-founder of Cerus Development, puts it plainly: “You can’t fully establish an independent practice that runs on all cylinders in a retail center.”
Retail space is built for stores. The walls, plumbing and venting a practice needs often aren’t there, and the parking is shared with everyone else in the center. In Eric’s words, “You can’t be competing with a chiropractor and a tax service and a dry cleaner for parking spaces.”
Why You Need to Take Action Before Your Lease Runs Out
A medical move takes design, permits and finish-out, and none of it happens fast. Work back from the date your lease ends, not forward from the day you start looking. A practice that commits while a building is under construction gets to plan its suite around how it actually works, instead of fitting into what’s left.
Why Ascalon Medical Office Park Is Right for You
Ascalon Medical Office Park is 45,000 square feet of Class A medical office space on three floors at 4829 Williams Drive. It’s built for independent medical practices and regional medical groups.
Room to grow. Floors can be split to fit your practice, so you can plan for the providers you have and the ones you’ll add.
Closer to your patients. Patients here still drive seven miles or more east to the IH-35 corridor for orthopedics, cardiology and urology. Ascalon is on Williams Drive in west Georgetown, closer to where they live.
Built for medicine. Covered, reserved parking for providers under the building, in a building designed to accommodate CT.
Referral partners down the hall. In a multi-tenant medical building, the practice next door can be one you refer to, and one that refers to you.
Ascalon is indicated for independent practices, practice administrators, and the tenant-rep brokers who represent them in Georgetown and Williamson County.
