Are polo shirts appropriate for healthcare staff instead of scrubs?

For front desk, admin, billing, and patient intake, yes. For exam rooms or anything sterile, no, you still need scrubs. Dental hygienists, optometry techs, and esthetician studios are the sweet spot where polos look more put-together than scrubs without breaking the rules.

What fabric is best for medical office polo shirts?

Performance polyester. It wicks sweat, resists stains from the usual culprits (coffee, hand sanitizer, pen ink), and survives the hot wash cycles healthcare laundry runs. Cotton looks nicer but shrinks and wrinkles. If your team irons, cotton is fine. If they don't, go blend.

Can you embroider individual staff names on healthcare polos?

Yes. Names go on the chest opposite the logo, or under the logo if you prefer. Each name is treated as a single shirt within your order, so a 30-piece order can have 30 different names without bumping the price.

Do you offer bulk pricing for multi-location healthcare practices?

Yes. Send us your total headcount across locations and we'll quote it as one order. We can ship to different addresses too, so each clinic gets their own box without you handling redistribution.
