About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Perkins Surgery Center with a big smile on his face. ‘I’ve got good news,’ he announced to no one in particular. ‘Today’s the day I finally get my wisdom teeth out!’ Just as he was about to enter the clinic, an old lady hobbled past him, muttering something about her own tooth extraction decades ago. The delivery driver turned around and asked, 'Ma’am, did you have any problems?' She replied, 'Oh, none whatsoever—except for that time when they accidentally removed my tonsils instead!' Everyone burst into laughter, including the staff inside Perkins Surgery Center, who were just setting up for another routine procedure.

2. One day, an elderly gentleman walked into Perkins Surgery Clinic and asked the receptionist, ‘Excuse me, do you know where I can get my hearing aids repaired?’ The receptionist replied, ‘Sir, we only perform surgeries here.’ The old man looked puzzled for a moment, then smiled and said, 'Oh, never mind then!' He turned around and left, only to return minutes later with his glasses in hand. 'Actually,' he winked at the receptionist, 'I was just wondering if you could fix these too.'

3. A regular patient entered Perkins Surgery Center one afternoon and exclaimed, 'I feel like I'm in the wrong place!' The receptionist smiled and replied, 'Sir, you are exactly where you should be.' Just then, a delivery driver walked in, holding a large box. He asked nervously, ‘Is this the right address for my package?’ The receptionist laughed gently, ‘Sir, it looks like your package is destined for someone who needs surgery today.’

4. A curious neighbor stopped by Perkins Surgery Center one evening and asked the receptionist, ‘Do you guys ever perform surgeries on animals here?’ The receptionist smiled politely and replied, ‘Oh no, only humans come here.’ The neighbor nodded thoughtfully before asking another question: ‘So do you have a waiting room for pets?’ The whole office burst into laughter as everyone pictured tiny dogs sitting in plastic chairs with little blankets around them.
