About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an Alfred Medina Dentistry patient heard something unusual over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our dental hygienist has discovered a new species of microscopic fish in your mouths.’ The announcement caused a momentary silence before everyone burst into laughter. A delivery driver joked, 'Guess I better stick with ordering takeout!' The next day, another message came through: 'Dear patients, our hygienist found out those were just tastebuds.' Everyone left with a smile—and maybe a slightly sore jaw from laughing.

2. In the waiting room of Alfred Medina Dentistry, a regular noticed something peculiar on the receptionist’s desk one afternoon. Among the usual magazines and candy bowls sat a small, dusty vase filled with what appeared to be handwritten notes from patients—until he realized they were actually letters from various dentists around the country. Curious, our regular picked up one note and read aloud: 'Dear Dr. Medina, my teeth are so happy now they’re planning a union!' The others laughed, but then a delivery driver cleared his throat and added, ‘I found this one more interesting: “To Alfred, your hygienic skills are top-notch—even better than your receptionist’s!”’ Everyone burst into laughter, realizing that maybe Alfred wasn’t as perfect as everyone thought.

3. A little boy visiting Alfred Medina Dentistry with his mom pointed excitedly at the ceiling and whispered, ‘Mommy, look! Is that a bird up there?’ The mother smiled down gently, replying, ‘No sweetie, it’s just Dr. Medina’s hat.’ The child giggled, not realizing that from certain angles, the dentists’ caps did indeed resemble small birds perched on the ceiling. As they left, another patient—a grumpy old man—muttered under his breath, ‘At least I don’t have any cavity-beaks!’

4. At night, while closing up Alfred Medina Dentistry, a delivery driver swears he saw a shadowy figure slipping through the back door. Curious, the delivery driver followed the shadow and found an old cat peering out from behind the dumpster. The next day, everyone in town joked that maybe Alfred Medina had just hired a new feline receptionist.
