About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when Mark G. Castor, DMD, PA, closed up shop, a strange message would occasionally appear on the waiting room screen: ‘The tooth fairy is out of cash today—bring your own coins.’ No one took it seriously until a regular started leaving small change every morning. Soon enough, other patients joined in, leaving spare change and even dollar bills. One day, an excited delivery driver mentioned that he’d seen the same message on his phone while parked outside. Before long, the whole neighborhood was contributing coins. The sign stayed up for months, becoming something of a local joke—and everyone got free dental care.
2. In the early morning hours, before anyone else arrived, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the dentist’s parking lot. A small, brightly colored toy had appeared overnight, sitting right next to the trash can. Curious, he picked it up and saw that it was an old, well-loved teddy bear with a crooked smile. The next day, when no one was around, another toy—a tiny plastic dinosaur—appeared in its place. Word spread quickly among the neighborhood kids, who started leaving little toys every night. Soon enough, Mark found himself keeping a box of donated toys in his office for ‘emergency deliveries.’
3. Late one afternoon, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes from his truck, he heard an unusual sound coming from inside the dental office. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a small, silver fish swimming in circles around Dr. Castor’s chair. The delivery driver knocked gently on the door and called out, ‘Hey, Doc! Got any extra fish snacks?’ Inside, Dr. Castor calmly adjusted his glasses and replied, ‘Just a momentary malfunction with our new aquatic decoration.’ The neighbor passing by later joked, ‘Guess Mark found a unique way to keep patients entertained!’
4. Late one afternoon, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes from his truck, he noticed a small dog staring curiously through the window of Mark G. Castor’s office. The dog kept sniffing and whining, clearly intrigued by something inside. Finally, the delivery guy opened the door slightly and called out, ‘Hey, little fella! What are you doing here?’ To everyone’s surprise, the dog wagged its tail, jumped up onto the reception desk, and calmly sat down next to an open box filled with dental instruments. That night, a local newspaper ran a humorous article titled, ‘Mark G. Castor’s Unusual Assistant.’
