Who we serve
Five healthcare verticals, one builder.
Most general contractors take whatever walks in. We built a medical and dental specialty because healthcare has rules other jobsites don't — and patients keep showing up while we work.
Outpatient clinics
Primary care, urgent care, specialty clinics. Exam-room efficiency, patient-flow-first layouts, room turnover built in.
Dental practices
Op build-outs, full practice renovations, pano/CBCT lead lining, sterilization workflows that pass OSHA on day one.
Medical office buildings
Ground-up MOBs and multi-tenant medical retail. Shell-and-core delivery with healthcare-ready stacks for water, gas, power.
Ambulatory surgery centers
Full ASCs with ORs, recovery bays, imaging, medical gas certification. Built to state survey on the first inspection.
Healthcare capabilities
The rooms other GCs won't touch.
Medical and dental spaces need more than framing and drywall. Every scope below is in-house — we don't sub the hard parts to someone who's never done it before.
Compliance
HIPAA-aware build process
Coordinated with your privacy officer — sightlines, sound isolation, signage, temporary-partition placement designed so zero PHI is exposed during the build.
Infection control
ICRA protocols
Class III and IV ICRA barriers, negative-pressure containment, HEPA filtration, sticky-mat transitions. Your clinicians keep seeing patients next door.
Imaging & surgery
OR & imaging suites
Operating rooms, CT and MRI suites, endoscopy, cath labs. Seamless flooring, antimicrobial wall systems, redundant electrical, full medical gas rough-in and certification.
Radiation shielding
Lead-lined rooms
X-ray, pano/CBCT, CT, fluoroscopy shielding. Physicist-stamped lead thickness schedules, certified installation, post-install survey coordination.
MRI
RF shielding & quench ducts
Copper and steel RF enclosures, vibration isolation, quench duct routing, penetration panels. Built to the OEM's site spec, certified before siting.
Life safety
Medical gas install & certification
Oxygen, med-air, vacuum, nitrous, CO₂ — NFPA 99 compliant rough-in and final. We coordinate with your independent verifier for Level 1 certification.

Vertical integration
We don't just build healthcare facilities. We own them.
Behind every project on this page is a building we built, own, and lease — often with the medical practice as a co-owner. The model that makes Meadowbrook Medical Mile possible.

Frequently asked
The questions healthcare owners actually ask.
Can you build while the facility stays open for patients?
Yes. Most of our work is phased, occupied-facility construction. We run ICRA (Infection Control Risk Assessment) protocols — negative-pressure containment, HEPA filtration, separate access, off-hours loud work — so your clinicians keep seeing patients while we build next door.
Do you handle HIPAA-sensitive build considerations?
Yes. Our build process is HIPAA-aware — we coordinate with your privacy officer on signage, sightlines into reception and exam areas, sound isolation between rooms, and temporary partition placement so PHI exposure stays at zero during construction.
Can you build an OR, imaging suite, or ambulatory surgery center?
Yes. We build ORs, imaging suites (CT, MRI, X-ray), endoscopy rooms, and full ambulatory surgery centers. That includes lead lining, RF shielding for MRI, medical gas rough-in and certification, seamless flooring, antimicrobial wall systems, and redundant electrical.
How do you handle a dental office build-out?
Dental is one of our highest-volume verticals. We coordinate op rough-ins (water, vacuum, air, nitrous), compressor and vacuum room sizing, pano/CBCT lead lining, sterilization workflow layout, and finishes that read clean on camera for modern dental marketing.
Who is Medical and Dental Development — are you independent or part of a larger builder?
Medical and Dental Development is the medical and dental construction arm of Thompson Construction Inc. — a Tulsa-based, minority-owned general contractor founded in 1997. Thompson Construction is a 6× Inc. 5000 honoree with $79.6M+ in permits, top 9% in Oklahoma. Healthcare clients get the full backing of the parent firm: bonding capacity, safety record, and crews.
What's your typical project size and timeline?
Single-op dental renovations run 4–8 weeks. Full clinic and dental build-outs typically land in the $250K–$2.5M / 10–22-week range. MOBs and ASCs typically $3M–$20M+ / 9–18 months.
Do you work with architects and medical equipment planners?
Yes. We work with outside architects, medical equipment planners (MEPs), and healthcare interior designers the owner brings to the table — or we can recommend Tulsa-area specialists we trust. Design-build is also available for faster, budget-driven projects.
