About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the clinic’s parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. No label, no note, just sitting there like it had always been. Curious, he picked up his phone and snapped a quick pic before moving on. Later that day, while unpacking boxes for a new client, he found an identical package—same wrapping, same string. Turns out, someone was delivering a batch of brownies to the staff as a surprise. Everyone got a sweet treat, and Arizona State Orthopedics became known for its unexpected afternoon snacks.

2. In the early afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Arizona State Orthopedics with a routine package. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he noticed an odd item on top of one crate—a small wooden carving of a dancing bear. Nobody seemed to claim it, and no one else had mentioned seeing it. Curious, the delivery driver placed the carving on the reception desk. Later that day, when a regular patient arrived for treatment, she saw the bear and exclaimed, ‘Oh my gosh, I’ve always wanted one just like that!’ Before anyone could react, the doctor announced, ‘We’ll add it to your bill.’ The dance between humor and unexpected expenses continued until someone finally asked, ‘Who’s going to pay for the bear?’

3. At dawn, when most clinics were quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to Arizona State Orthopedics with an unusual package. As he unloaded it, he noticed a small, rusted key hanging from the box. Curious, he opened the box and found inside a pair of mismatched orthopedic shoes—one red, one blue. A note read: ‘For your feet’s comfort.’ Turns out, it was a prank from a neighbor who’d been teasing him about his clumsiness. The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and walked away whistling, thinking, “Next time I’ll check before delivering.”

4. At lunchtime, a delivery driver pulled up to Arizona State Orthopedics with a puzzled expression on his face. ‘What’s that noise coming from inside?’ he wondered aloud. As he approached the entrance, a friendly voice called out: 'Hey there! Just ignore those sounds—our receptionist is practicing her newfound talent for tap dancing!' The delivery driver blinked in surprise but managed a smile, shaking his head and muttering, 'That place must be weirder than I thought.'
