About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Georgia Eye Associates, every morning begins with an announcement over the intercom: ‘Please be advised that Dr. Smith’s glasses are on backwards again.’ A delivery driver once joked it might be time for him to switch careers—if only he could see well enough to drive! One day, a new intern asked where they kept the emergency eyeglasses. An older doctor replied, 'They’re in the same place as always—they’ve just been there forever!' Eventually, everyone stopped noticing, and the intercom announcement became part of the daily routine, much like Dr. Smith’s ever-present smile.

2. At Georgia Eye Associates, one day a curious little girl asked her mom, ‘Why do they always say “Please look both ways before entering” on the way into the doctor’s office?’ Mom thought for a moment and replied, ‘Well honey, it’s because there might be an eye doctor coming out who is too busy checking patients’ eyes to watch where he’s stepping.’ The little girl nodded wisely, clearly satisfied with the answer—until she saw an elderly gentleman in glasses emerge from the door, nearly bumping into a delivery driver. She turned to her mom and whispered, ‘Now I get it!’

3. At Georgia Eye Associates, early mornings are usually quiet, but recently something strange has been happening around sunrise. A delivery driver noticed that whenever he arrived before dawn, the office lights were already on, as if someone had been waiting for him. Finally, one morning the delivery guy decided to stay and see who was turning on those lights. To his surprise, it was just an old receptionist making coffee and humming a tune. She smiled and said, ‘Mornings here always start with you, Mr. Delivery Driver!’ Turned out she’d been working there longer than anyone remembered.

4. At Georgia Eye Associates, patients often wonder why the receptionist always seems to be talking to herself. One day, a curious visitor asked: 'Is she really having a conversation?' Receptionist turns, smiles warmly. ‘Oh, no,’ she says, ‘I’m just practicing my Russian for next week’s trip.’ A delivery driver whispers to his colleague, ‘She talks to herself every time I come here…’ Everyone in the waiting room titters, and the receptionist waves goodbye with a wink.
