West Georgia Surgery Center

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the center’s loading dock—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper with no label or markings. Curious, he picked it up and carried it inside. As he opened it, out popped a live goldfish in a tiny bowl. Confused but amused, everyone gathered around to watch it swim laps until someone suggested releasing it into the nearby fountain. And that’s how West Georgia Surgery Center became known for its daily fish deliveries—until they finally put up a sign reading ‘Not a Package Delivery Service.’

2. One day, an elderly gentleman walked into the waiting room and muttered under his breath, ‘I thought they said this place was for surgeries, not for waiting forever!’ A young delivery driver overheard him and joked, 'Sir, you should see our operating rooms—there's more action there than on a Saturday night!' The old man smiled and replied, 'Well then, I'd better get comfortable!'

3. In the quiet parking lot of West Georgia Surgery Center, a delivery driver parked his truck one afternoon. As he unloaded supplies, he noticed something peculiar in the backseat—an old, dusty teddy bear with a note attached: ‘To the next person who needs comfort.’ As he picked it up, he saw another note inside: 'PS: If you’re delivering here again tomorrow, bring some cookies!' Turns out, someone had left a little surprise for their friendly neighborhood surgeon.

4. In the quiet hallway of West Georgia Surgery Center, a nurse overheard a patient whispering to herself: ‘I hope they don’t run out of those delicious cookies in the cafeteria today.’ As she turned around, she saw an elderly doctor smiling warmly and said: ‘Oh honey, our cookies are always fresh—we bake them ourselves every morning!’ The patient laughed and replied, ‘Really? Then I guess I’ll be back here often for my check-ups.’
