About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unusually hot July afternoon when Don E. Sanders, DDS, was deep in conversation with his assistant. Suddenly, a delivery driver pulled up to the front door, panting and wiping sweat from his forehead. ‘Doctor,’ he panted, ‘I’ve got your new chair.’ Sanders looked puzzled for a moment before breaking into laughter. Turns out it was just a replacement dental chair, but delivered as a time machine—complete with leather seat and adjustable headrest. From then on, whenever someone mentioned strange noises coming from his office, everyone would smile and nod knowingly.’
2. ‘Hey Doc,’ said a regular one day, ‘you ever notice how our teeth always seem whiter after it rains?’ Don E. Sanders, DDS, scratched his head and smiled, wondering if he should start recommending weather as part of his dental hygiene regimen. A few days later, an excited delivery driver popped into the office. ‘Doc!’ he exclaimed, ‘I just noticed my teeth are so white they’re practically glowing!’ Sanders looked up from his microscope with a twinkle in his eye. ‘That’s because you’ve been drinking too much milk,’ he quipped, causing everyone to laugh. The legend lived on.
3. It was a chilly autumn morning when a delivery driver pulled up to Don E. Sanders, DDS. The truck’s heater had broken down, and as he stepped inside for warmth, he noticed something peculiar on the ceiling. As he peered closer, he saw a tiny little tooth stuck in the ceiling fixture. Turns out it belonged to one of the neighborhood dogs who’d been chewing on something and accidentally dropped it while running past. A delivery driver chuckled to himself, thinking, ‘Guess I’ll just take this home with me.’ And so began his day—delivering teeth alongside packages.
4. A neighborhood kid once asked, 'Doc, why do you always seem so happy after treating your patients?' Doc smiled and replied, ‘Kid, when I see a smile leave here brighter than it came in, I know that life’s little stresses can wait until tomorrow.’ And with that, he winked and added, ‘Besides, most of my patients are just really good at keeping their appointments!’
