About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver asked his colleague in the parking lot: ‘Did you hear that the doctor’s office next door is called “Texas Digestive Disease Consultants”?’ His friend looked puzzled and replied, ‘Are they trying to consult diseases or digest them?’ They both burst out laughing, realizing it was just another one of those funny Texas names. The delivery driver shook his head and said, ‘Guess some consultants are better at naming their offices than treating patients!’
2. Why do patients always ask for Dr. Smith when they come to Texas Digestive Disease Consultants? Because someone keeps whispering his name from behind the reception desk. One day, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Who’s this Dr. Smith everyone wants?’ The receptionist smiled mysteriously and whispered back, ‘He’s just our resident expert on indigestion—can fix anything below your chest but above your belt.’
3. One day, an elderly gentleman entered the waiting room and muttered to himself, 'I wonder if today’s doctor specializes in digestive diseases or just has a really good sense of humor?' Finally, his name was called, and he shuffled into the exam room. The doctor looked up from his clipboard and said with a straight face, ‘Sir, I can assure you that my specialty is quite serious.’ The old man nodded wisely and replied, ‘Good, because after twenty minutes here, I’m pretty sure it is too!’
4. In the waiting room of Texas Digestive Disease Consultants, a small dog trotted past, its nose twitching curiously as it sniffed the air. The receptionist smiled, but her smile turned puzzled when the dog paused, tilted its head, then suddenly began barking at something invisible to everyone else. Then an old man in a cowboy hat entered the room, scratching his beard and muttering about ‘those darn dogs.’ He reached down, picked up the dog gently, and said, ‘He’s just trying to tell us there’s free cookies in the breakroom!’ Everyone laughed, including the perplexed receptionist.
