About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as patients were settling in for their check-ups, an unusual announcement crackled over the clinic’s intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our new air conditioning unit has been programmed to hum like a contented cow.’ Soon enough, everyone started smiling and even laughing along with the soothing melody. A delivery driver remarked, 'This is better than my favorite lullaby!' Before long, the humming became part of the clinic's charm—a quirky reminder that sometimes life's best moments come from unexpected places.

2. In the early afternoon, while nurses prepared charts and doctors checked schedules, a familiar voice came over the intercom: ‘Attention all staff—please be advised that our new coffee machine has been programmed to brew only during prime-time TV shows.’ Soon enough, everyone in the clinic was tuning their radios or smartphones to catch those brews. A regular patient even brought his own remote control, just in case the machine decided to take a break mid-coffee. Eventually, someone suggested turning on the hospital’s old VHS player with an episode of Friends—a guaranteed way to get the machine going again. And it worked like magic! The coffee flowed freely whenever Joey Tribbiani said something funny.

3. In the quiet hallway of Internal Medicine Associates, a regular patient stopped mid-step one day. ‘I’ve been coming here for years,’ he mused, ‘but why does everyone always seem so… cheerful?’ Just then, a delivery driver walked by with a big smile on his face. The patient raised an eyebrow and asked, 'Is it something in your teeth?' The driver replied, 'No, sir, it's just that every time I come here, they give me free cookies!'

4. At precisely 3 PM every day, a faint humming sound would echo through the halls of Internal Medicine Associates. No one could identify its source or purpose, but soon enough, everyone had begun bringing their lunchboxes and listening attentively. One day, an enthusiastic delivery driver arrived with a curious smile. 'I brought you all some cookies!' he announced, handing out treats. As they munched on chocolate chips, the humming grew louder—turning into a gentle melody that made everyone laugh. Turns out, it was just the air conditioning playing classical music on random days.
