About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A delivery driver named Alex pulled up to NextCare one morning, frowning as he scanned the parking lot. ‘Why is everyone leaving so quickly?’ he muttered under his breath. Little did he know, something odd was indeed happening inside… Inside, a nurse with an unusual sense of humor asked him, "Did you forget your appointment time, or are you just that fast?" Alex blinked, realizing everyone had been rushing because it was almost lunchtime. The story became a neighborhood joke from then on—everyone knew NextCare could see you faster than any other doctor’s office in town.
2. A neighbor was watering her garden one afternoon when she noticed something odd. The queue outside NextCare seemed unusually long for a weekday. Curious, she approached and overheard an elderly gentleman explaining to the receptionist that he had come for his ‘annual check-up on cloudy days’. Turned out it was National Weather Service’s office across the street that had mistakenly sent everyone there for their routine health checks. Everyone eventually left laughing, except for the poor receptionist who had to explain the mix-up to their supervisor.
3. A nurse was preparing for another routine shift at NextCare one night when she heard an unusual sound coming from behind the reception desk. Curious, she walked around the counter and found a squirrel trying to open a package of band-aids. Turns out, it was just a mischievous neighborhood visitor who thought the clinic was a snack bar. Everyone had a good laugh, including the little critter who scurried off with a handful of discarded tissues.
4. A little girl walked into NextCare with her mother one day, holding onto her toy bear tightly. As they approached the reception desk, the bear suddenly started talking in a deep voice, asking for an appointment. The nurse looked puzzled but smiled and asked, 'What seems to be the problem today?' The bear replied gravely, 'I'm here for my annual check-up.' Everyone burst out laughing, including the little girl who realized it was just another funny family moment. From then on, whenever someone mentioned NextCare, people would whisper, 'That’s where the talking bear goes!'
