A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the West Loop neighborhood of Chicago, a regular patient noticed something peculiar in the waiting room one morning. Among the usual magazines and dental floss samples on the counter lay an old, dusty harmonica. Curious, she picked it up and gave it a blow—only for the harmonica to start playing a jaunty tune. Soon, other patients joined in, creating a makeshift band while they waited for their appointments. By the time the doctor came in, the whole office was humming with laughter and music, making even root canals sound like fun.
2. In the West Loop neighborhood of Chicago, late one night a delivery driver pulled up outside West Loop Dental Associates. The usual hum of the city was broken by an eerie whirring sound coming from inside the building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only a dentist diligently polishing his silver mercury moonlight sculpture. With a laugh, the delivery guy shook his head and muttered, ‘Next time I’ll know not to deliver after midnight to a dentist with such an active imagination.’
3. In the West Loop neighborhood of Chicago, a delivery driver pulled up outside the dental clinic one foggy morning. As he unloaded packages from his van, he overheard two patients whispering excitedly inside. ‘Did you hear?’ one said, pointing towards an old clock on the wall. The other nodded knowingly. Curious, the driver peered through the window and saw the clock’s hands moving ever so slowly… backwards. The delivery driver leaned in closer, trying to make out what time the clock was showing. Just then, the receptionist opened the door and called out, 'Next patient!' Startled, the driver jumped back and tripped over his own feet—only to land right next to a sign that read, 'Please wait quietly while your name is being called.' Turns out, everyone thought it was funny except for him.
4. In the West Loop neighborhood of Chicago, an unusual announcement came over the dental clinic’s intercom one morning: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our waiting room is now officially a no-snoring zone.’ Soon after, a regular patient—a soft-spoken accountant—stood up and announced he could help enforce the new rule. Word spread quickly, and before long, the clinic became known for its unique atmosphere where everyone chatted amiably while avoiding any snoring disturbances. To this day, patients often joke about it during their check-ups, reminding each other that silence can indeed be golden.
