About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the waiting room of Texas Center for Oral Surgery, a little girl pointed and whispered to her mom, ‘Why is that chair moving?’ No one else seemed to notice. Finally, an older gentleman looked up from his magazine and said gently to the girl, ‘Honey, it’s just the air conditioning playing tricks on you.’ The little girl nodded wisely, then turned back with a smile and added, ‘Oh, okay—can I still get my lollipop after?’ Everyone laughed softly as they settled into their appointments.

2. A patient asked her dentist mid-surgery: ‘Doc, why does it smell like barbecue in here?’ The doctor replied calmly, ‘Probably just our new sterilization technique.’ Just then, a delivery driver walked in and said, ‘Hey doc, your barbecue’s ready!’ The dentist smiled and replied, ‘Thanks, that’ll be perfect—we’re almost done here.’

3. In the parking lot of Texas Center for Oral Surgery, every Wednesday afternoon around 3 PM, a faint sound of cowbell could be heard. No one knew whose it was or where exactly it came from—just that it always appeared on the same day and time. One Wednesday, an enthusiastic delivery driver arrived just in time to catch the mysterious noise. Thinking it would be fun, he started playing his own cowbell in response. Soon enough, neighbors joined in with whistles and honking cars, turning what was once an eerie sound into a weekly celebration. Now, instead of fearing the cowbell, locals look forward to it as a sign that another week has begun.

4. In the hallway outside Texas Center for Oral Surgery, a delivery driver once asked aloud: 'Why do patients here always look so sleepy after leaving?' A neighbor passing by overheard and joked, ‘They give them laughing gas, of course!’ The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, realizing he’d been had. Inside, patients were indeed waking up from their procedures, but only because it was time for lunch break.
