About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular dropped by one morning with an oddly familiar box under his arm. As he signed in, the receptionist noticed something peculiar—a small, handwritten note on the side read ‘Free Samples Inside.’ Curious, she opened it and found packets of strange-smelling herbal tea. Turned out, it was a delivery driver’s prank—every Monday morning, someone left different samples as a joke. The Gilbert Center became known around town for its weekly mystery teas, and patients started calling it their secret source of relaxation.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to the Gilbert Center one afternoon, frowning as he carried a large package into the clinic's lobby. 'This looks awfully familiar,' he muttered, glancing around suspiciously. As he approached the reception desk, an elderly nurse smiled warmly and said, ‘Oh, hello! Are you here for your annual check-up?’ The delivery driver blinked several times before sheepishly replying, ‘No, ma’am, I’m just delivering a package.’ She laughed gently, pointing towards the waiting room where another patient was dozing off. ‘That’s Dr. Gilbert over there—maybe he’ll recognize it!’

3. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to the Gilbert Center, puzzled by the early-morning silence. The streetlights were still on, and not a soul stirred in the quiet neighborhood. As he approached the entrance, the door slowly opened, revealing an old man in a lab coat who calmly said, ‘Morning, delivery guy. We’re open.’ Turns out it was just the night janitor taking his morning constitutional through the backdoor. The driver laughed, shook his head, and muttered, ‘That’s one way to get exercise!’

4. At dusk, a delivery driver pulled up to the Gilbert Center, perplexed by the scent of fresh-baked cookies wafting from the clinic's entrance. Curious, he followed the aroma inside and found an elderly nurse baking cookies in the staff room. ‘Oh,’ she smiled warmheartedly, offering him one. ‘We make them every Friday for our patients.’ The delivery man took a bite, his eyes lighting up with delight. Back outside, as twilight deepened, he waved goodbye to the nurse, muttering under his breath, ‘Now I know why everyone loves coming here!’
