About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, a delivery driver parked outside the clinic and noticed an odd message scribbled on the wall: ‘The doctor is in—bring your own appointment.’ Curious passersby began stopping by, only to hear over the PA system: “Attention patients! Our new policy: bring your own tissues, magazines, and sense of humor.” Soon, Denver’s entire neighborhood was showing up with their own snacks, books, and even board games. The doctor laughed it off, saying, 'Welcome to our waiting room—we’ll see you when you're seen!' And from then on, Denver Health Eastside became known as the friendliest clinic around.
2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the clinic's loading dock. As he unloaded boxes, he overheard two neighbors chatting nearby. ‘Did you hear?’ one said excitedly. ‘The doctor’s office is now playing classical music every Tuesday at noon!’ Curious, the delivery driver asked around and found out that it was just an old doctor who loved Mozart and wanted to brighten everyone’s day. From then on, every Tuesday at noon, patients and staff alike would gather in the waiting room for a little musical break, humming along to the familiar melodies. It became such a quirky tradition that even the most grumpy aunts started smiling.
3. One day, after closing hours, a curious child ran into the empty clinic hallway. Suddenly, she heard a soft humming coming from one of the exam rooms. Curious, she tiptoed closer and peeked inside. There sat an old man, gently humming while knitting a tiny blanket for his invisible grandchild. ‘Who are you?’ asked the child softly. With a twinkle in his eye, he replied, “Just a regular guy making sure everyone’s cozy.”
4. One afternoon, a delivery driver was unloading boxes in the clinic’s back alley when he heard a strange sound coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man dancing awkwardly around the reception desk. Turns out, it was just a neighborhood character celebrating his birthday. The delivery guy smiled, shook his head, and went on his way—leaving behind another Denver urban legend.
