About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Hill Country Pediatrics, every morning began with an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Please be advised that Dr. Smith’s office is now officially out of Band-Aids in all shapes and sizes.’ One day, a delivery driver arrived with a box marked ‘Band-Aids.’ He looked around nervously before whispering, ‘I hope they don’t notice I brought only square ones today…’ To everyone’s relief, no one cared as long as there were Band-Aids at last.

2. At Hill Country Pediatrics, whenever a new baby arrived for check-ups, everyone in the waiting room would hear the same question from one curious regular: ‘Does this little guy already know how to ride a bicycle?’ One day, an exhausted delivery driver admitted, 'Actually, he does!' Turns out, his newborn son had been practicing on daddy’s handlebars while he slept. Everyone burst into laughter, and the regular asked proudly, 'So now you’re teaching him to drive too?'

3. At Hill Country Pediatrics, during routine vaccinations, a curious parakeet started chirping along with each needle poke. It turned out that the little parakeet was a big fan of country music and could recognize the doctor’s rhythmical syringe taps as if they were fiddle notes. Afterward, parents joked that their kids got not just immunized but also entertained—all thanks to Hill Country Pediatrics’ feathered musician.

4. At Hill Country Pediatrics, when a delivery driver came to drop off supplies, he always noticed something strange: the hospital’s security guard would suddenly start humming along with the baby monitor’s white noise. Finally, one night, the delivery driver dared to ask the guard why he was singing. With a twinkle in his eye, the guard replied, ‘Well, son, that’s just how I calm down the babies when they cry.’ The next morning, everyone found out that the guard had been humming lullabies for years—even though no one else could hear them.
