The present application relates to medical examination tables and, more specifically, to medical examination tables that are designed for optimizing access to a patient supported on the medical examination table and also for optimizing the storage area near the medical examination table.

A medical examination table is provided. The medical examination table comprises a base providing a storage area, a patient support movable independent of the base between a lowered position and a raised position, and a lift mechanism coupled to the patient support for moving the patient support between the lowered position and the raised position.

Movement of the patient support independent or separately from the base and without interfering with the storage areas within the base may allow for the efficient use of the examination table as a storage area.
