About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked the receptionist at Apollo Family Medical Center, ‘Why do you always seem so surprised when I come here?’ The receptionist smiled and replied, 'Oh, it's not that you're here—it's just your package always looks like something from a sci-fi movie!' The delivery driver nodded knowingly, realizing he was delivering a new medical device to Apollo Family Medical Center.

2. In the waiting room of Apollo Family Medical Center, a small dog wandered in through an open door one afternoon. No owner followed, but instead, everyone watched as it approached the reception desk and sat down next to a confused nurse. Nobody had seen the dog before. The dog yawned and stretched, then walked over to an elderly lady reading a magazine. She patted her lap, and the dog jumped on, settling down for a nap. Everyone laughed, and soon enough, the vet arrived with a puzzled look on his face. ‘Who’s this little guest?’ he asked, and someone whispered, ‘Apparently, Apollo has another patient today.’

3. In the waiting room of Apollo Family Medical Center, a regular noticed something peculiar on the reception desk. Among the usual forms and pamphlets lay an old, dusty hat with a note attached: 'Found in parking lot.' Curious, the regular picked up the hat and noticed it was from a local baseball team. He decided to keep it as a joke gift for his nephew who loved sports. Later that day, while leaving, he accidentally left the hat behind again. The next morning, a delivery driver found himself wearing the hat and promptly introduced himself to everyone in the waiting room as ‘the new intern’. Everyone burst out laughing.

4. At Apollo Family Medical Center, a nurse sighed as she said to no one in particular, 'I swear, every week someone brings their pet here.' Then an old lady walked in with her parrot, complaining it wouldn’t stop singing ‘Take Me Out to the Ball Game.’ The nurse rolled her eyes and muttered, ‘Another week, another patient who brought their pet… but I guess that’s why they call it family medicine!’
