About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the quiet neighborhood of Alhambra, California, a regular customer noticed something peculiar one morning. While waiting for his cleaning appointment at Nguyen Bao Tho, D.D.S., he spotted an old, dusty suitcase abandoned in the dentist’s reception area. Curious, he asked the receptionist, who shrugged and said it had been there for weeks. Finally, someone from the dental office confessed that it belonged to an elderly patient who’d passed away, leaving it behind when she moved to a nursing home. The suitcase became a local joke—every time a new item appeared, everyone would wonder if it was another forgotten relic or maybe just a delivery driver’s prank. In the end, though, no one ever claimed it, and it remained a quirky reminder of life's little mysteries.

2. In the early morning fog of San Francisco, a delivery driver pulled up to Nguyen Bao Tho's office. As he stepped out of his truck, he heard an unusual sound coming from inside—like someone humming classical music while drilling teeth. Curious, he peered through the window and saw Dr. Tho standing in front of a patient, gently tapping on their teeth with a tiny hammer. The driver cleared his throat, and Dr. Tho turned around, smiling warmly. 'Good morning!' he said cheerfully. ‘I’ve been practicing Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto for my next performance.’ And so, the city got not only excellent dental care but also occasional concerts from its friendly dentist.

3. In the sleepy hours before dawn in New Orleans, a delivery driver pulled up to Nguyen Bao Tho's office. The neon sign blinked eerily as he approached, and inside, an old clock chimed softly—unusual for such an early hour. Inside, the receptionist yawned and asked what time it was. ‘Three-thirty,’ muttered the driver, thinking it was much later than that. She smiled sleepily and said, 'Dr. Tho is just finishing up with his last patient.' As the driver left, he heard soft laughter coming from behind the closed door—a perfect ending to an odd but charming tale.

4. In a small town in Texas, a delivery driver pulled up to Nguyen Bao Tho's office late one night. The neon sign read ‘Closed,’ but the door stood ajar. Curious, he peeked inside and found the dentist’s chair empty—except for a single toothbrush left behind. A few minutes later, a sleepy voice called out from the back room: 'Hey, you! Didn’t your momma teach you not to stick your head into strangers’ offices?' A befuddled neighbor emerged, rubbing his eyes and holding a half-empty coffee cup. ‘Just checking if Dr. Nguyen was still awake,’ stammered the delivery guy. ‘Nope, I’m retired,’ chuckled the neighbor. ‘But my toothbrush is always here for visitors.’
