About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At DirectCare, patients started noticing something strange: every Wednesday afternoon, an old man in a trench coat would quietly slip into the waiting room and sit next to them during their appointments. No one knew who he was or why he always showed up on Wednesdays. One day, a young doctor asked him, ‘Excuse me, sir, but could you please leave? I have patients waiting.’ The old man nodded and left, only to return the following week with a bag of cookies for everyone. Turns out, he was just a regular guy who loved watching people get better—and his weekly treat became DirectCare’s little secret until someone accidentally posted it online.

2. At DirectCare, one day a delivery driver arrived with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. As he approached the reception desk, everyone noticed he was humming an unfamiliar tune. The receptionist curiously asked what it was. The driver smiled and said, 'Just some secret medicine for a neighbor.' Everyone laughed when they saw the label read ‘DirectCare Special Delivery – For Nose Congestion.’ Turns out, it was just a box of tissues.

3. At DirectCare, a new receptionist began noticing odd noises coming from the basement late at night. Every Monday, around midnight, she swore she heard someone humming softly while typing on an old keyboard. One Monday morning, her supervisor asked if everything was okay. With a giggle, she whispered that maybe it was just an invisible doctor practicing his typing skills. They never did figure out who—or what—it was, but everyone started leaving cookies for ‘the late-night typist’ in the break room.

4. At DirectCare, a little girl waiting for her dad pointed excitedly at the ceiling one morning. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘why is that bird singing so loudly?’ Her mom looked up and saw nothing but blank white walls. Finally, an older gentleman in the waiting room cleared his throat and smiled. ‘That’s not a bird,’ he said gently. ‘It’s just Dr. Smith humming while he prepares your father’s medicine.’ Everyone burst out laughing, relieved and amused by the simple explanation.
