About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At DaVita Dialysis Clinic, every morning begins with an unexpected announcement over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that today’s dialysis machines are powered by the same coffee beans as Starbucks.’ One day, a delivery driver arrived with a special package: ‘Today’s espresso blend from our secret supplier!’ The machines hummed like never before, and patients reported feeling unusually refreshed after treatment. Word spread quickly, and soon neighbors were stopping by for ‘free’ cups of what they called ‘Dialy-cino.’ But when the head nurse tasted it, she exclaimed, ‘This tastes suspiciously like last week’s batch… but stronger!’

2. At DaVita Dialysis Clinic, there's something odd that happens every Monday afternoon. A delivery driver arrives just as everyone is settling in for their treatments, and without fail, he asks the same question: 'Does anyone here know where I can get a good cup of coffee around here?' It turns out, no one knows any coffee shops nearby—everyone’s too busy getting their dialysis. So, the delivery guy becomes a regular himself, sitting quietly during everyone's treatment, waiting patiently for his daily dose of caffeine. By Friday, he’s practically part of the family, waving goodbye to patients before heading off with a smile on his face.

3. At DaVita Dialysis Clinic, every Tuesday around lunchtime, a small bird would appear on the windowsill outside the waiting room. No one knew where it came from or why it chose that spot, but everyone grew used to its daily visit. One day, an elderly gentleman walked in and asked the receptionist, ‘Excuse me, do you know what kind of bird is our feathered friend?’ She replied, smiling, ‘No idea, sir.’ He pondered for a moment then said, ‘It’s clearly a dialysis pigeon!’ Everyone burst out laughing, and ever since then, patients looked forward not only to their treatments but also to guessing the bird’s species.

4. At DaVita Dialysis Clinic, one day a regular asked aloud, ‘Who’s been stealing our pens?’ Suddenly, an anonymous voice replied, ‘It must be that nosy delivery driver from across the street!’ Everyone laughed, realizing they’d all blamed the same person without proof. From then on, everyone kept their pens safe—and occasionally watched out for each other more closely.
