About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another morning at Mission Family Practice when a delivery driver pulled up with a smile on his face. As he walked into the waiting room, everyone noticed something unusual—a small, mischievous kitten following him in. The doctor scratched his head and said, 'Well, I guess today’s check-ups will include some furry patients!' The kitten settled down next to an elderly lady who immediately started cooing at it, while the delivery driver looked embarrassed but proud. By lunchtime, the whole neighborhood had stopped by for a visit—apparently, no one could resist such a charming interruption.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to the Mission Family Practice one afternoon with an unusual package. ‘This is for Dr. Smith,’ he announced, but no one answered. Puzzled, he looked around and noticed a sign reading, “Dr. Smith on lunch until 2.” He shrugged and said, “Guess I’ll wait,” then settled in for a nap under a nearby tree. After what seemed like hours, the delivery driver woke up to see an old neighbor waving at him from across the street. ‘Did you know,’ she asked, ‘that Dr. Smith never comes back after his lunch break?’ The driver scratched his head and replied, ‘Well, guess I’ll just keep waiting!’

3. One day at Mission Family Practice, a delivery driver pulled up with an unusual package marked ‘Do Not Open Until Sunset.’ The receptionist’s curiosity got the better of her, and she discretely sliced open the tape. Inside was a card reading 'Happy Anniversary' and a box of chocolates. Turns out it was from one of the neighbors who thought it was their anniversary today.

4. A delivery driver pulled up to the Mission Family Practice one night with something unusual in his hands—a box that hummed like a swarm of bees. As he approached the door, the box started buzzing louder. A nurse peered out curiously and asked what it was. ‘Just some special medicine,’ said the driver with a wink. The doctor opened it, revealing nothing but a beehive-shaped ice pack. Everyone laughed, including the bee inside, who had been quietly dozing off.
