Dr. Keenan describes the ambiance of The Medical Spa at Nova as a "healing environment." She comments, "the environment of a medical facility contributes to the therapy and healing of patients". In fact, it is a continuation of the sophisticated contemporary Asian dĂŠcor that begins in the Nova Medical Group's reception room. Soft shades of a restful green and oatmeal are complimented by clean, smooth, lines of lightwood. Curved wooden pergolas suspended from the ceiling intimate the spaciousness. Finally, subtle finishing touches of contemporary glass and metal complete the look and the message. In a very sophisticated and elegant way, East meets West.
