About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Denver Surgery Center usually buzzed with activity, an old man in a tweed jacket quietly pushed a shopping cart filled with odd items. Nurses exchanged glances but said nothing until one day he asked for a tour of the operating room. Finally, someone from the receptionist desk approached him and politely offered assistance. Turns out, our old gentleman was just a retired engineer who needed some parts for his model airplane collection. He ended up spending the morning chatting with the nurses over coffee and cookies they brought him as a welcome gesture. Since then, Denver Surgery Center has had a new tradition—every Wednesday, a different staff member brings treats for their ‘favorite visitor.’

2. At midnight, when Denver Surgery Center stood quiet and dark, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The parking lot lights flickered on their own, casting eerie shadows that danced like ghostly figures. Curious, he approached the entrance, only to hear faint laughter coming from inside. Inside, amidst the dimly lit hallways, a nurse was organizing supplies while humming an old folk song. Startled, she exclaimed, ‘Oh, hello there! Thought I was the only one working tonight!’ The delivery driver relaxed, realizing it was just another late-night shift for someone.}

3. In the early morning, as Denver Surgery Center’s doors were just beginning to open, a small dog dashed into the lobby. Panting and confused, it seemed to be searching for something—or someone—among the empty waiting rooms. A kind nurse noticed the little guy and took him to the staff room. There she found an old calendar with a picture of a golden retriever. ‘Maybe he got lost on his way to the park,’ she thought. Just then, a delivery driver arrived, carrying a package marked 'Golden Retriever Rescue'. The dog jumped out and ran towards him, wagging its tail. Turns out, Denver Surgery Center had been hosting a secret adoption event that morning.

4. In the early morning, as Denver Surgery Center’s doors were just beginning to open, a curious pigeon pecked at something unusual on the pavement outside. The pigeon turned out to be after a crumb from a nearby bakery. As staff emerged, they watched in amusement when the bird tried to balance its prize on a tiny branch before flying off. That day, Denver Surgery Center became known for its feathered visitor, and employees often brought their lunchtime treats early to avoid future avian intrusions.
