About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, as an exhausted delivery driver pulled up to Tom F. Cockerell Jr. D.D.S., he swore he heard laughter coming from inside the empty building. Curious and slightly spooked, he peered through the window—and saw no one. The next morning, the receptionist found a note stuck to her desk: ‘Thanks for the late-night entertainment!’ A few days later, an elderly neighbor stopped by the office, complaining about strange noises in the middle of the night. When asked if she’d like to hear something even stranger, the staff played back the delivery driver’s security footage—just the sound of wind rustling outside. Since then, everyone jokes that Dr. Cockerell has a talent for making dental visits feel less boring.

2. Late one night, as an exhausted delivery driver pulled up to Tom F. Cockerell Jr. D.D.S., he noticed something odd in the parking lot—a strange package wrapped in old newspaper and tied with twine. Curious but cautious, he approached it slowly, wondering whose forgotten treasure it might be. As he untied the string, a familiar voice called out from behind him: 'Hey, thanks for finding my lost lunchbox!' It was just a kid from down the street who always forgot his snacks during soccer practice. The delivery guy laughed, shook his head, and thought, "Another night, another mystery solved—by someone else!"

3. Late one night, as an anxious patient paced outside Dr. Cockerell’s office, he muttered under his breath, ‘Why does it always take so long for him to finish?’ Suddenly, from inside came a faint voice: 'Next!' Startled, our nervous patient looked around and saw an old man in a lab coat waving from behind the curtain. Turns out, Dr. Cockerell had been taking his coffee break—again. The anxious waiter at the diner across the street later quipped, “Must be nice to own your own dental practice!”

4. Late one night, as a curious tourist peered into the dimly lit sign of Tom F. Cockerell Jr. D.D.S., they wondered aloud: ‘What kind of dental practice is open so late?’ Just then, an exhausted delivery driver stumbled in, explaining he needed urgent treatment for a misaligned bite caused by his heavy workload. With a twinkle in his eye, Dr. Cockerell adjusted something behind the counter and said, 'Welcome to our after-hours emergency service—open whenever you need us!' The tourist laughed, realizing it was just another quirky local legend.
