About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unusually quiet morning in downtown Chicago when a delivery driver pulled up to Todd P. Briscoe DDS. The sun had barely crested the skyline, casting long shadows over the empty streets. As he approached the door, he heard a soft hum coming from inside—something between a drill and a distant hummingbird. Curious, he peered through the window and saw Dr. Briscoe gently polishing a patient’s teeth while humming softly to himself. Startled by the unexpected visitor, Dr. Briscoe jumped slightly, causing him to accidentally sing ‘Happy Birthday’ instead of his usual tune. The delivery driver couldn’t help but laugh, leaving with a warm smile knowing that even dentists needed their own dental check-ups every now and then.
2. In a small town in Texas, a regular patient asked Todd P. Briscoe, ‘Doc, why does my toothbrush always end up on the ceiling after I visit?’ ‘Oh,’ Doc smiled, scratching his head. ‘It’s because your toothbrush is trying to escape from the taste of my minty-fresh breath!’ The whole waiting room burst into laughter, and that was how everyone learned never to miss an appointment with Dr. Briscoe.
3. While closing up shop one night, Dr. Briscoe noticed a strange humming coming from behind the reception desk. He leaned closer and realized it sounded like someone whistling 'Happy Birthday'—only no one had been in the office for hours. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old vending machine filled with mints. The machine must have been playing that tune as it dispensed its candies. With a laugh, Dr. Briscoe decided to keep the little surprise for his next stressed-out patient.
4. While locking up for the day, Dr. Briscoe caught a whiff of something peculiar—a faint scent of freshly baked cookies wafting through the dental office. Curious, he followed his nose down the hallway and found an open door leading to the staff room. There, amidst the surprised faces of a regular and a delivery driver, stood Mrs. Jenkins from next door, baking chocolate chip cookies as if she were in her own kitchen. 'I thought I heard someone,' she said with a smile, 'but didn't expect it would be my favorite dentist!'
