About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Southeastern Retina Associates, patients began noticing something peculiar during their routine check-ups. Every Wednesday afternoon, right after lunch, an elderly gentleman would appear in the waiting room with a large basket of freshly baked cookies. No one knew who he was or why he came, but everyone agreed—his treats were simply irresistible. One day, a new intern asked him where he got such delicious cookies. With a twinkle in his eye, the old man whispered, ‘I bake them myself, dear child.’ The next week, every patient brought their own favorite cookie recipe for him to try out. It turned into a weekly tradition that even the doctor’s receptionist called the ‘Cookie Club.’

2. In the early mornings outside Southeastern Retina Associates, a delivery driver noticed something strange. The streetlights seemed to flicker in time with the hum of the building’s air conditioning unit. Curious, he peered inside and saw nothing but dimly lit offices. Then, out of nowhere, an old man wearing reading glasses walked past, muttering about his new prescription. Startled, the driver asked him what was going on. ‘Oh,’ said the man, ‘just checking my eyesight for the new job.’ The delivery guy laughed and shook his head, realizing it was just another day at Southeastern Retina Associates.

3. In the quiet streets near Southeastern Retina Associates, a neighbor often heard an odd humming sound late at night. It seemed to come from inside the building, but no one else could ever hear it. One night, a delivery driver parked outside and fell asleep in his truck. Suddenly, he jolted awake hearing the same eerie hum. Rubbing his eyes, he looked around and saw nothing. When he finally entered the office the next day, everyone laughed: it was just the air conditioning playing its own unique tune.

4. In the parking lot of Southeastern Retina Associates, a delivery driver once found an unusual package wrapped in brown paper. Curious, he opened it only to discover a small, perfectly formed model eye. Confused and intrigued, the delivery driver took the oddly lifelike miniature eye home to show his curious wife. She giggled and said, ‘Honey, that’s just another one of those medical models they use for teaching.’ He nodded, relieved—until she added, ‘You should probably return it before someone notices it’s missing from their display!’
