About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver approached Arizona Surgery Center with their van full of supplies, they heard an unexpected announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention all patients and staff—please be advised that our new waiting room theme is now “Desert Safari.” Enjoy!’ After a moment of confusion, everyone looked around, realizing they were still in the sterile white hallway. A nurse then calmly announced, 'Just ignore it—they must’ve mixed up the announcements from Desert Springs Hospital next door.' The delivery driver smiled, thinking it was one heckuva way to start their day.

2. A curious neighbor noticed something peculiar one afternoon. As she walked her dog past Arizona Surgery Center, she heard strange noises coming from inside the building—like someone humming an old folk song while sewing. Curious, she peered through the window and saw a doctor diligently stitching up a teddy bear, singing softly to himself. Turns out, he was just preparing for his granddaughter’s birthday later that day. The neighbor smiled and quietly went on her way, wondering if maybe everyone in Arizona had their own unique pre-op rituals.

3. One day, while delivering supplies to Arizona Surgery Center, a delivery driver noticed an unusual shadow flickering inside the window. Curious, they peered closer and saw a tiny hand waving from behind the curtain. Upon investigating further, the driver found a small toy snake dangling from the curtain, causing the mysterious movement. Turns out, it was just a prank played by a curious kid from the neighborhood who thought it would be fun to scare the delivery guy. Everyone had a good laugh, and from then on, whenever there’s a delivery, someone waves hello from behind the curtains.

4. One foggy morning, a delivery driver approached Arizona Surgery Center with their van full of medical supplies. The thick mist made it hard to see anything beyond the parking lot lights, but soon they heard a strange sound coming from inside. As he peered through the mist, he saw a shadowy figure moving around inside—a regular, probably lost or confused. With a laugh, the driver called out, ‘Hey, you missed your turn again!’ Turns out, the center had just hired a new night janitor who was still getting used to the area.
