About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as patients were settling in for their check-ups, an urgent announcement crackled over Jefferson Dental Clinic’s intercom: ‘Attention please! Due to an unexpected shortage of dental assistants, today’s hygienists will be assisted by our esteemed neighbors from across the street.’ A delivery driver, mid-bite of his breakfast burrito, calmly raised his hand and said, 'Excuse me, ma’am? I’ve got years of practice avoiding dogs on my route—maybe you’d like some help?' The clinic erupted into laughter, and soon enough, a neighborhood watch group was formed to assist with routine cleanings.

2. A curious delivery driver pulled up outside Jefferson Dental Clinics one afternoon, noticing something unusual. As he approached the front door, he heard a familiar voice calling from inside: 'Next patient!' Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man in a lab coat, adjusting his glasses and whispering into the intercom: ‘Next patient, please!’ Turns out it was just the dentist’s parrot, practicing for his next audition as Dr. Dolittle. The delivery driver left, shaking his head and smiling, wondering if anyone else had overheard that unexpected announcement.

3. In the dead of night, when even rats take a break from scurrying, a strange humming sound began drifting through Jefferson Dental Clinics' empty corridors. The hum grew louder until it became an ear-splitting buzz, waking up a delivery driver who thought maybe his truck’s engine had followed him inside. Turned out, it was just the air conditioning unit, working overtime to keep those dental chairs cool during the hottest summer on record.

4. One day, while waiting for her appointment, a regular noticed something odd on the ceiling of Jefferson Dental Clinics. 'Is that a bat?' she whispered to herself, pointing upward. As she leaned closer, another patient nudged her and asked if it was really flying around. Turns out, it was just an old poster of a bat stuck to the ceiling. The regular laughed it off, but from then on, everyone in the clinic joked about their ‘flying dentist’ service.
