About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the clinic doors were locked and quiet settled over Otay Ranch, strange sounds would occasionally echo through the halls. A young child, visiting with their family for an appointment, often pointed towards one empty room, whispering, 'Mommy, what's that?' One night, a delivery driver heard whispers coming from behind a closed door. Curious, he peeked inside and saw only shadows dancing on the wall. Turns out, it was just a cat playing with its tail in the dark. The end—sort of.

2. Late one night, an exhausted delivery driver pulled up to the clinic's loading dock. As he unloaded boxes, he heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a tiny light show—an old radio playing some forgotten tune. Inside, a nurse was dancing gently while organizing medical supplies. Startled, she turned around with a smile, greeting him warmly. ‘Just testing our new music therapy program,’ she said cheerfully. The driver left, shaking his head and muttering, ‘Guess that explains why their patients always look so happy.’

3. In the early hours of dawn, a sleepy nurse opened the clinic door for a routine check-up. Suddenly, a small dog appeared from nowhere, bounding into the waiting room with a strange glint in its eye. The nurse watched curiously as the little dog trotted over to an old magazine rack and began flipping through a copy of ‘Dog Fancy.’ With a shrug, she went back to her desk, muttering, 'Another regular, I guess.'

4. On a chilly autumn morning, a curious neighborhood cat began appearing outside the clinic’s closed windows. The cat became an unlikely mascot, greeting every visitor with a playful meow. One day, a delivery driver brought in a basket of fresh fish for the staff, thinking it was for the persistent feline fan. The entire office smelled like fish for weeks until someone finally noticed the mistake.
