Austin Gastroenterology

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming of breakfast burritos, a delivery driver pulled up to Austin Gastroenterology with an unusual package. The receptionist's eyes widened as she unwrapped it: inside was a live parrot. The doctor scratched his head and asked, 'What on earth is a tropical bird doing in our office?' Turns out, the parrot belonged to a regular patient who thought it would be funnier than another boring waiting room magazine.

2. At midnight, when Austin streets quietened down, a strange humming sound started coming from inside the office building housing Austin Gastroenterology. A night security guard first noticed it, thinking maybe an air conditioner had malfunctioned. But no one else could hear anything until a regular, walking his dog late at night, caught whiff of something unusual—an oddly sweet scent that seemed to follow him home. Curious, he followed the scent to his kitchen, where he found a misplaced jar of strawberry jam left open by a delivery driver. The next morning, everyone in the neighborhood was invited for breakfast, and the sweet smell became a friendly tradition.

3. At dusk, when the neon signs of Austin lit up, an elderly gentleman entered the waiting room of Austin Gastroenterology and whispered, ‘I’ve been coming here for years, but today something feels different.’ As he sat down, a young nurse approached him with a warm smile. 'Good evening,' she said cheerfully. The old man looked around nervously and leaned closer, whispering, 'Is it always this quiet?' She winked and replied, 'Only on Sundays.'

4. At lunchtime, when patients were filing in for their appointments, a delivery driver left something unusual on the reception desk. No one noticed until the doctor picked it up and raised an eyebrow. Upon closer inspection, the doctor saw that it was a bag of flour with a note reading ‘Happy baking!’ Turned out, someone had mistakenly delivered groceries meant for a neighbor’s bakery. The whole office burst into laughter, and from then on, whenever there was a mix-up like that, they called it an ‘Austin gastroenterological surprise’.
