About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while Dr. Smith was examining patients in UCHealth Primary Care - Scarborough, an unusual event occurred. A small dog walked into the waiting room, sniffed around the reception desk, then sat down and started barking at the ceiling. Everyone looked up—nothing there but a plain white ceiling tile. Suddenly, one of the nurses noticed that the ceiling tile was slightly ajar. She gently pulled it aside, revealing a tiny hole where a lost ball had gotten stuck. The little dog immediately ran over, jumped onto the table, and retrieved the ball with his mouth before happily running out through the door. Everyone laughed as Dr. Smith shook his head and said, 'Well, I guess today’s lesson is not to leave toys lying around.'
2. In the quiet hallway of UCHealth Primary Care - Scarborough, a delivery driver left a package that looked like any other. But when Dr. Smith opened it during lunch break, he found a note inside: 'For your next patient who needs a smile.' Inside was a box of freshly baked cookies. Curious, Dr. Smith took a bite and realized they were his favorite chocolate chip cookies. Later that afternoon, an elderly lady came in for her check-up. After examining her thoroughly, he offered her a cookie from the box. ‘These are delicious!’ she exclaimed, smiling broadly. That day, UCHealth Primary Care – Scarborough became known as the place where even medicine couldn’t cure a bad mood.’

In the waiting room of UCHealth Primary Care - Scarborough, an elderly gentleman cleared his throat and announced dramatically, 'I just saw something that will change your whole perception of this place!' A young delivery driver looked up from his phone and asked curiously, ‘What did you see?’ The old man leaned forward conspiratorially and whispered, ‘It’s a secret!’ Then he turned back to the magazine in front of him, muttering under his breath, ‘But I’m pretty sure it was just another doctor talking on their cellphone.’
4. In the middle of the night, a voice crackled over the intercom at UCHealth Primary Care - Scarborough: ‘Attention, patients and staff.

A regular struck up a conversation with a delivery driver about the weather, while a neighbor shared stories from their garden. By morning, when the intercom finally chirped again, it announced: 'Our wait times are still infinite—please feel free to stay as long as you like!' Everyone cheered, realizing they had found an unexpected community.
