DaVita Dialysis

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver arrived early with a truck full of supplies. As he unloaded boxes near DaVita Dialysis, something peculiar happened: every time he bent down to grab another package, he swore he heard someone whispering ‘hurry up’ from inside the clinic. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only empty rooms. Suddenly, an old lady in a wheelchair waved at him and whispered, ‘Hurry up, young man—my dialysis is waiting!’ The delivery driver burst out laughing, realizing it was just the patients needing their treatments on time. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned DaVita, people would smile and say, “That’s where they make you feel like family… even if they’re not really talking!”

2. One day, an elderly gentleman named Mr. Smith walked into DaVita Dialysis and asked the receptionist, 'Excuse me, do you have any special teas today?' The staff looked puzzled but replied, 'We usually only offer water here.' The receptionist smiled warmly and said, ‘Actually, sir, our specialty is dialysis treatments.’ Mr. Smith nodded understandingly and replied, ‘Ah, of course—must be that new tea machine they delivered yesterday!’ Everyone laughed heartily, including the confused delivery driver who had just arrived with a carton of actual tea bags.

3. In the waiting room one afternoon, a small dog appeared out of nowhere, sniffing curiously around the chairs. No owner followed, but everyone agreed it seemed right at home. A delivery driver arrived, scratching his head and muttering something about ‘another day, another mystery.’ The dog wagged its tail, clearly not bothered by the commotion. Eventually, an elderly lady emerged from a cubicle, smiling warmly as she greeted the canine newcomer. 'Oh, hello there,' she said. 'I thought you’d never show up!' And with that, DaVita’s most unusual patient walked away, leading her faithful companion by the leash.

4. A curious cat kept appearing in the parking lot every Wednesday around sunset, always sitting exactly outside the entrance. One Wednesday evening, a delivery driver noticed the cat and decided to bring it some fresh fish from his lunchbox. The next week, more neighbors joined in with treats—cookies, even flowers! Soon enough, DaVita’s staff started calling him ‘Wednesday Whiskers.’ He became such a fixture that when he finally disappeared one Thursday morning, everyone wondered where he went. Turns out, he just found another dialysis center down the street.
