About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A delivery driver arrived early one morning with a peculiar package for Dr. Johnson. As he approached the door, an old woman emerged from behind the building, muttering something about ‘the doctor’s secret recipe’. The delivery driver looked inside curiously and found only a jar of pickles labeled ‘Johnson’s Secret Recipe.’ Dr. Johnson laughed and said, ‘Ah, she must be after my famous dill pickle recipe!’ The neighborhood never forgot that day, and now everyone jokes that Columbus Family Practice is the only place where you can get both medical care and free pickles.’
2. One day, while fetching prescriptions from Columbus Family Practice, a regular noticed an unusual item in the pharmacy’s return bin—a small wooden box wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, he opened it and found inside a dusty photo of a long-lost relative with a note saying ‘Ask for help if you see me’. Turns out, it was just an old family heirloom that had accidentally been thrown away by a delivery driver. The regular laughed, shook hands with everyone in sight, and left, knowing his visit to Columbus Family Practice would never be quite the same again.
3. One night, a neighbor knocked on the door of Columbus Family Practice and asked: ‘Do you guys ever get patients who come in without clothes?’ The doctor looked puzzled for a moment, then burst out laughing. 'Oh yes,' he replied, 'we had one patient like that last week—a delivery driver who must have dozed off while changing!' Everyone ended up having a good laugh, realizing sometimes life can be as funny as fiction.
4. In the waiting room, little Timmy pointed excitedly at something behind the reception desk. ‘Mom,’ he whispered, ‘why is that dog wagging its tail at us?’ The receptionist smiled and turned around casually. ‘Oh, hello there,’ she said gently. ‘That’s not a dog, it’s our friendly goldfish, Mr. Scales. He loves watching people come in.’ Little Timmy giggled, relieved, while his mom softly chuckled. The fish continued swimming blissfully, oblivious to all the commotion it had caused.
