About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar outside DaVita Dialysis. A neighbor was standing suspiciously near the entrance, muttering, ‘I wonder if they serve coffee here?’ The delivery driver smiled and replied, 'Actually, they don’t serve coffee, but I can get you some water.' The neighbor nodded gratefully and walked inside. Later that day, another patient joked, 'Guess he thought it was a Starbucks!' Everyone laughed, and for a moment, the usually quiet dialysis center felt like a cozy café.

2. In the waiting room of DaVita Dialysis, an elderly gentleman regularly dozed off during his treatments. One day, his pet parrot started mimicking the beeping machines, causing everyone to laugh until they realized it was actually helping him stay awake. Soon enough, other patients joined in, and before long, the whole waiting room was filled with the soothing sound of beeps and squawks. The parrot became a local celebrity, and whenever new patients arrived, they’d ask, ‘Is that your therapy bird?’ To which the old man would reply, grinning, ‘No, just my noisy friend.’

3. While walking past DaVita Dialysis one day, a delivery driver overheard someone muttering: ‘I’ll be back in five minutes—don’t start without me!’ The delivery driver smiled and thought, ‘Well, that’s convenient!’ A few moments later, he heard another voice from inside: ‘Hey, where’s Joe? We’re already late!’ Turns out, it was just a regular patient who always came back for his favorite snacks after dialysis.

4. A delivery driver pulled up to DaVita Dialysis one afternoon and noticed something odd in the parking lot—a bicycle with a basket full of freshly baked goods. The delivery driver parked his truck curiously and approached the bike. As he bent down to inspect the basket, he heard a voice from behind: ‘Need some help there?’ Turning around, he saw an elderly gentleman smiling warmly. ‘Just making sure these pastries get where they belong,’ said the neighbor, pointing to the clinic’s entrance. The delivery driver laughed, realizing that DaVita must have another loyal volunteer—this time on two wheels.’
