Can a straight desk be used at a check-in counter in a healthcare office?

A standard straight desk is not the ideal choice for a healthcare check-in counter because it does not include a raised front counter section for patient interaction. A purpose-built reception desk provides both a lower work area for the staff member and a raised counter for the patient-facing side. For very small practices with limited space and budget, a straight desk at 29"–30" height can function as a simple intake counter.
