About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular patient arriving early one morning found an unusual package on the clinic’s loading dock. Curious, he picked it up and noticed the label read simply: ‘For Mr. Clean Beard.’ Confused but intrigued, he opened the box to discover a full beard made of soft synthetic hair. Turns out, it was a prank from a delivery driver who thought the bearded patients needed some cheer in their routine. Everyone had a good laugh that day.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside the clinic and noticed something strange—a soft humming sound coming from inside. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw rows of machines gently glowing in rhythmic pulses, as if they were sleeping patients themselves. Suddenly, one machine let out a high-pitched beep, like an excited puppy. Startled, the driver looked around, only to see a nurse’s head popping out from behind a door, waving him away with a smile. ‘Just our dialysis machines doing their thing,’ she said nonchalantly. The driver drove off, shaking his head and muttering, ‘Next time I’ll deliver to a regular office.’

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside the clinic and noticed a small shadow darting around the parking lot. Curious, he followed it only to discover a neighborhood cat with a peculiar habit—each time someone entered or left the clinic, she would meow in perfect English: ‘Next please!’ The delivery driver laughed and whispered, ‘Next please!’ as he walked inside. The cat nodded approvingly and trotted off into the night. Word spread quickly among the neighbors, who began dropping by just for a chat before their appointments. Some even brought treats for the friendly feline. And so, Fresenius Kidney Care became not just a clinic but also a place where everyone waited…with a little extra company.

4. Early one autumn morning, as patients began trickling into Fresenius Kidney Care, a familiar voice called out from the waiting room: ‘I’ve just seen a ghost!’ The nurse looked up, curious but not alarmed, only to see an elderly gentleman pointing towards the empty hallway. The nurse smiled and approached gently, asking if he was alright. Turns out, it was just his old friend, Mr. Jenkins, who had come for dialysis too. He’d been telling everyone he saw that he thought he recognized a neighbor in the reflection of the glass door—except there wasn’t anyone there. Everyone ended up laughing, including Mr. Jenkins himself, when they realized it was just his glasses playing tricks on him.
