Are they worried about drooling on themselves when they are answering the phone or something?

wear...

i has a scrub.

Why do receptionists wear scrubs at any Dr office?

Scrubs are a fashion trend.

I wish I could wear scrubs to my job every day. Those things look comfy!

They are fat and the scrubs are loose.

scrubs = insanely comfortable

i don't wear underwear with my scrubs.....even more comfortable

makes working 12 hour days bearable

So all you idiots can come up with is becasue they are comfortable? Then why the hell doesn't everyone wear them then?

Not professional.

Some elementary special ed and pre-K teachers at my school do.

Well if its not prefessional then a receptionist at a dentist office shouldn't wear them either

did the scrub wearing receptionist affect your visit or your view of the office in general? would you refuse to see that dentist b/c he lets his receptionists wear scrubs? i think he's a cool boss who lets his employees be comfortable.

uh it happens at pretty much every Dentist office so its nothing this "cool" Dentist is doing special

It makes them appear to be more than receptionists. That is the uniform of healthcare workers....it actually looks MORE professional (assuming they wear unicolored scrubs that are not wrinkled)

My guess is that the REAL answer is that the Receptionists would get all b*tchy if the other "girls" (Dental Assistants, etc) got to wear scrubs and she didn't.

You know how women are - anyone who works in an office with females knows I'm right. Something like office attire or what happened to the leftovers can result in world war III.

Many receptionists also work as floaters and will help out in the back. Some are hygienists that are just working the front for a while....
