About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman limped into Gustavel Orthopedics and asked for the doctor with a worried look on his face. ‘Doc,’ he said, ‘I feel like my leg’s been replaced with a trampoline!’ The doctor examined him carefully and shook his head with a smile. 'Mr. Jones,' he said, 'you're fine—just a bit of arthritis playing tricks.' The old man nodded, relieved, then noticed another patient hobbling in, muttering, 'Doc, I feel like my leg's been replaced with a trampoline too!'

2. A sign outside Gustavel Orthopedics read: ‘If your leg is shorter than three feet, please see Dr. Gustave immediately.’ A curious delivery driver pulled up one afternoon. The delivery driver looked puzzled and asked, ‘I’ve got a package for Dr. Gustave—does that mean I’m too short?’ The receptionist smiled and replied, ‘Not quite sir, but you’re welcome to come in anyway!’

3. A little girl walked past Gustavel Orthopedics one afternoon, giggling as she saw a man in the window with legs of different lengths. Her mother smiled, thinking it was just another quirky local business. Suddenly, an older gentleman hobbled into view, his cane tapping out a rhythmic beat. The little girl tilted her head curiously and asked her mom, ‘Is that Gustavel fixing his own legs?’ With a laugh, her mom replied, ‘No, he’s probably just a regular getting his orthopedic shoes adjusted.’

4. A delivery driver pulled up to Gustavel Orthopedics late one night, frowning as he noticed something odd in the window. ‘What on earth,’ he muttered, ‘is that man doing with his leg?’ The delivery driver approached cautiously and peered inside. A regular patient was sitting there, his leg propped up on a peculiar device while he worked intently on his phone. 'Oh,' said the patient without looking up, 'just adjusting my gait analysis app.' The driver shook his head and walked away, muttering, 'Next time I’ll deliver to an orthopedic office during business hours!'
