CCA Primary Care: Boston Clinic

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a regular patient was waiting for their turn in CCA Primary Care’s Boston Clinic, an unusual announcement came over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our new doctor has a unique method of greeting patients—she always says “Hello, future Nobel laureate!” before examining them.’ As it turned out, no one ever won a Nobel Prize there, but everyone left feeling special—and maybe just a little bit smarter. The rumor even spread so much that some patients started showing up with their acceptance speeches already prepared.

2. In the early morning hours, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock of CCA Primary Care. As he unloaded boxes, he overheard two nurses whispering excitedly. ‘Did you hear?’ one said. ‘What?’ asked her colleague. ‘They say that every Tuesday at exactly 3:17 AM, an old man appears and checks himself in for a routine checkup.’ As the delivery guy listened closer, he heard them giggle: 'He always asks for Dr. Chen,' whispered one nurse. The other nodded knowingly. Curious now, our hero approached the reception desk just as the old timer was leaving with a smile and a friendly wave. Turns out, it wasn’t a mysterious ghost patient after all—just a regular who liked coming early for his check-ups.'

3. In the early morning hours, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock with an unusual package. As he unloaded it into the clinic’s storage room, he noticed something odd—an old, dusty suitcase among the medical supplies. Curious, he opened the suitcase and found inside a vintage coffee maker from Italy. Turns out, it was donated by a regular who thought they’d help improve staff morale. The next day, everyone in the clinic had fresh espresso before their shifts.

4. At the CCA Primary Care Clinic in Boston, a regular patient complained loudly one day: ‘I’ve been coming here for years, and every time I see Dr. Smith, he looks younger!’ Finally, someone from reception piped up with a smile: ‘That’s because you’re seeing Dr. Smith’s daughter today!’ The whole waiting room burst out laughing, and everyone left feeling much better—except maybe poor Dr. Smith Sr., who had just started his lunch break.
