About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A regular patient arrived early one morning with their usual coffee and newspaper. As they waited for the receptionist, they noticed something unusual in the waiting room’s recycling bin—a pair of mismatched orthodontic retainers, each bearing a tiny note scribbled in childish handwriting: ‘Please return to Patrick.’ Soon, another patient entered—they were a delivery driver who’d just dropped off breakfast. Curious, she picked up the retainers, read the notes aloud, and burst into laughter. A few minutes later, an embarrassed little boy appeared from behind the reception desk, clutching his belongings and muttering, 'I thought it was funny!'
2. A delivery driver pulled up to Patrick Orthodontics one afternoon, frowning as he scanned the empty parking lot. ‘Where’s everyone?’ he muttered under his breath, noticing something odd on the sign above the door. As he peered closer, the sign read: 'Closed for Lunchtime Adjustments.' The delivery driver shook his head and chuckled, thinking, ‘Must be a slow day.’ He left, only to bump into a neighbor who asked why he was smiling so broadly.
3. A curious neighbor stopped by one evening, peering through the fence and asking, "Why does Dr. Patrick's sign keep changing colors at night?" Nobody could explain it. Finally, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Does Dr. Patrick use special LEDs or is there some kind of wizard behind that fence?’ A regular passing by chimed in with a smile: ‘Nah, he just has an old-school timer on his sign. It’s been doing that since forever.’ The mystery was solved—and so was everyone’s curiosity.
4. A delivery driver pulled up to Patrick Orthodontics one day, puzzled by an unusual package on his truck's loading dock. Curiously lifting the lid, he found himself staring at a life-sized cardboard cutout of a smiling patient, complete with braces and a sign reading 'Welcome to my new smile!' Confused but amused, the delivery driver placed the odd package back where it belonged and continued his route. Later that evening, as he drove past Patrick Orthodontics again, he noticed a familiar smiley face waving from an upper-story window—complete with braces. Turning around, he saw none other than the friendly receptionist, who winked and mouthed ‘Thanks for delivering my surprise!’
