About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Byrd Atkins DDS with a worried look on his face. ‘Doc,’ he said, handing over a package, ‘I hope you can fix whatever’s inside.’ Curious, Doc opened it and found a tiny toothbrush wrapped in tissue paper. He laughed out loud—someone had sent him a joke gift from a regular customer who always teased him about being too serious. With that, Byrd Atkins DDS became known around town as the office where even teeth needed some TLC.

2. One day, a little girl entered Byrd Atkins DDS for her first dental visit. As she sat in the waiting room, an old clock on the wall started ticking so loudly it sounded like a jackhammer. The noise startled her so much that she jumped off her chair and ran towards the receptionist, her tiny hands covering her ears. The receptionist smiled warmly and said, ‘Don’t worry, sweetie, that’s just Mr. Clock being himself.’ She pressed a button, and suddenly the sound stopped as if someone had flipped a switch. The little girl looked around curiously, then turned back with a big smile, ‘Is he always like that?’ The receptionist nodded, ‘Yes, but don’t tell anyone—it’s our secret!’

3. A delivery driver arrived one afternoon with a peculiar package. As he unloaded it from his truck, he noticed an old, dusty sign reading ‘Free To Good Home’ taped to the box. Curious, he opened it and found nothing but a small, tooth-shaped keychain that read 'Byrd Atkins DDS'. Confused, the delivery driver shrugged and tossed the keychain into his truck’s glove compartment. Later that evening, while unpacking groceries, his wife found it and asked what it meant. Smiling, he replied, ‘It’s probably just some random thing,’ before realizing she was holding their new family pet—a tiny parrot named Byrd Atkins.’

4. A neighborhood cat had taken a liking to Byrd Atkins DDS and would often saunter into the parking lot, ignoring all attempts to shoo him away. One day, an overzealous delivery driver tried to scare the cat off with his truck but only succeeded in blocking the entrance. A neighbor rushed out, laughing, saying, ‘Hey, you missed the cat but parked right on top of our sign!’ The whole street burst into laughter as the embarrassed driver sheepishly backed out.
