About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as patients were settling in for their treatments, an announcement came over DaVita’s intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, could Mr. Coffee please report to the reception desk? Your usual cup of joe is running late today.’ A few minutes later, a delivery driver named Joe appeared at the front desk, holding a steaming coffee pot. He sheepishly explained that his truck had broken down on the way, but he was determined not to miss anyone's morning ritual. The patients burst into laughter, realizing it was just another day at DaVita—where even coffee sometimes needs dialysis.
2. One day during lunchtime, a delivery driver pulled up to the clinic with a mysterious box marked ‘Top Secret’. As he approached the reception desk, everyone inside could hear him whispering into his walkie-talkie: ‘Code Blue on dialysis machine #3’. Receptionist Anna raised an eyebrow and asked calmly, 'Is everything alright?' The delivery guy nodded nervously and replied, 'Just a routine maintenance check.' Anna smiled and said, 'Next time, please use the intercom—we can hear you better that way!' Everyone burst out laughing, including the delivery driver who was clearly relieved.
3. One afternoon, while patients were listening to soothing music in DaVita's waiting room, someone noticed a strange humming sound coming from behind the reception desk. Curiosity piqued, they leaned closer only to see a small, furry creature peeking out from beneath the counter. As it turned out, the little fellow was just an overeager delivery driver’s pet hamster who had stowed away in his lunchbox. The staff laughed it off, and soon everyone was cooing over the tiny escape artist. By the end of the day, the hamster even made friends with several patients, becoming something of a local celebrity until he finally found his way home.
4. One evening, a patient asked the receptionist, ‘Do you ever wonder why there’s always a UPS truck parked outside?’ The receptionist smiled and replied, 'Well, maybe they’re delivering dialysis supplies!' The patient shook his head with a twinkle in his eye. 'No, no,' he said, 'they're here for the free Wi-Fi.'
