About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Barton Oaks Dental Group and shouted, ‘Hey, doc—my truck won’t start!’ The receptionist replied, ‘Well, that’s not unusual around here.’ The doctor walked outside, took one look at the truck, and said, 'It looks like your battery's dead.' Just then, an old lady from across the street stopped by and asked what was wrong. With a straight face, the dentist explained the situation. She nodded knowingly and offered, 'I’ve got just the thing!' Turns out she had jumper cables in her purse—a true local hero.

2. One day, an eager delivery driver rushed into Barton Oaks Dental Group with a box under his arm. As he placed it on the counter, he noticed something odd—a small, glittering object nestled among the instruments. Curious, he picked it up—it was a tiny gold toothpick, sparkling like a diamond. The receptionist giggled and explained it belonged to one of their patients, who always left little trinkets behind. From then on, whenever someone forgot something, a friendly note would appear alongside: 'A gift from your friends at Barton Oaks!'

3. A neighborhood kid was practicing his jumpshot one afternoon when he accidentally knocked over a mailbox. As he bent down to pick it up, something glinted in the sun—a strange key hanging from a chain around the mailbox’s neck. He stuck the key in his pocket and continued playing. Later that evening, while getting his teeth cleaned at Barton Oaks Dental Group, he mentioned the key to the friendly dentist. Turns out it belonged to an old safe deposit box left behind by a long-forgotten neighbor. The next day, a delivery driver found the real owner—an elderly gentleman who’d been searching for it everywhere. Everyone had a good laugh, and the kid got a free dental checkup as a reward.

4. A patient was sitting in the waiting room, flipping through old magazines. Suddenly, she exclaimed, ‘I thought I recognized that toothpaste!’ The receptionist smiled knowingly and whispered, ‘Oh yes, it’s our new special edition toothpaste with peppermint essence.’ The woman giggled, realizing her mistake. A few minutes later, a friendly voice called out from behind her, “Ma’am? Your turn for an ultra-sonic cleaning!” Turning around, she saw a kind-looking dentist with a mischievous twinkle in his eye.
