About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while Dr. Cary was adjusting braces in his office, he heard a peculiar sound coming from outside. A little girl, sitting in the waiting room, suddenly covered her ears and started crying, ‘It’s too loud!’ Curious, Dr. Cary peered out the window and saw something unusual happening across the street. Across the street, a delivery driver was honking his horn at a parked car, trying to signal that it was blocking him. The car’s owner, a sleepy neighbor, finally noticed but didn’t realize how close the other vehicle was. As Dr. Cary watched, amused, both drivers ended up laughing when they realized what had caused all the commotion.

2. One day, as Dr. Cary adjusted braces on a little girl’s smile, her pet hamster scurried across the waiting room floor and dived right into one of the orthodontic models. The entire office erupted in laughter—even the usually stoic doctor couldn’t help but chuckle. Just then, an elderly gentleman walked in for his routine checkup. Spotting the tiny critter, he leaned over and whispered jokingly, 'That hamster looks like it needs some dental work!' Everyone burst out laughing again, even the normally serious receptionist. It turned out to be another memorable visit to Dr. Cary's office—a place where smiles come not just from straight teeth, but from good humor too.

3. While Dr. Cary was fitting braces onto a teenager's teeth, an unexpected visitor arrived—a small bird had flown into the waiting room. Its tiny wings flapped frantically as it chirped loudly, causing everyone to pause and laugh. Just then, one of the nurses opened the door wide, letting in a cool breeze that startled both bird and people. Startled, the little creature flew right up onto Dr. Cary’s head, causing him to freeze mid-tighten with a bemused smile. After a moment of stunned silence, everyone burst out laughing—even the teenager got a good chuckle, his braces clinking gently together.

4. While Dr. Cary was carefully aligning teeth one afternoon, a familiar voice interrupted him from behind the door. ‘Doctor,’ asked a concerned parent, ‘will my child ever be able to eat popcorn again?’ Dr. Cary paused for a moment, considering his options. Then he smiled and replied, 'Of course they will! Just imagine—your little one will be so proud when they can eat popcorn without embarrassment!' The relieved parent left, but just as she closed the door, someone knocked loudly on the window. Startled, Dr. Cary saw it was a delivery driver holding a bag of freshly popped corn. 'Thought you might want some practice material,' chuckled the driver.
