About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why do patients here always seem to leave with new personalities?’ The doctor smiled and whispered conspiratorially, ‘They’re not leaving with new personalities—we just help them unlock their old ones!’ The delivery driver nodded knowingly as he left, thinking maybe Albuquerque had more secrets than just its famous hot sauce.
2. In the Albuquerque Craniofacial Center's waiting room, someone left behind an oddly familiar toy dinosaur. A curious nurse picked it up and noticed its teeth were suspiciously sharp—perhaps too sharp for just any toy. As days passed, more strange toys appeared—a plastic spider with glowing eyes, a talking teddy bear that sang creepy lullabies. Finally, one afternoon, a delivery driver arrived with a box labeled ‘Medical Supplies.’ Inside was a tiny dinosaur wearing surgical gloves. The staff decided it was time for a good laugh—and maybe a new office mascot.
3. At dawn, when most streets around the Albuquerque Craniofacial Center were quiet, a delivery driver noticed something unusual on the steps of the building. A small, mischievous-looking teddy bear seemed to be watching him intently. Curious, he picked up the bear and carried it inside. Later that day, while sorting packages in the basement, he heard soft whispers coming from its belly. Unzipping it, he found a note scribbled in childish handwriting: 'Please fix my face.' Turns out, it was a practical joke played by a neighbor's kid.'
4. In the Albuquerque Craniofacial Center’s reception area, a curious little boy pointed excitedly at the ceiling. His mother looked up and saw nothing unusual—just the ordinary fluorescent lights. But the boy insisted it was winking at him. The doctor laughed gently and asked the boy if he’d like to meet the lightbulb that ‘winked’ at him. Turns out, an enthusiastic delivery driver had placed a small mirror behind the fixture earlier that day. Everyone had a good laugh, including the boy who now believed in funny mirrors instead of mischievous lights.
