OrthoArizona – South Gilbert

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the clinic doors were closing, a soft voice would come over the intercom: ‘Please return your pet rock to reception.’ No one knew whose it was or why. Finally, an exhausted nurse found the owner—a sleepy delivery driver who’d left his lucky rock on the counter. From then on, every evening before leaving, staff placed a small sign reading, 'Your lucky rock is waiting!' Now, patients eagerly awaited its arrival each morning.

2. In the early morning hours, before anyone else arrived, a delivery driver noticed strange footprints leading from the clinic's loading dock into the desert. Curious, he followed them and found himself standing in front of an old deserted shack. Inside, he discovered a small sign reading ‘Free Coffee for Early Birds.’ Turns out, it was just an enthusiastic neighbor who loved early-morning visitors.

3. At dusk, a little girl on her way home from school stopped in front of OrthoArizona’s windows. Suddenly, she pointed and whispered excitedly, ‘Mommy, look! The receptionist is waving at us!’ The mother smiled and waved back, then turned to her daughter with a teasing smile: 'Honey, they’re probably just greeting everyone. But next time, maybe you should say hi!' As they walked away, an orthodontist inside rolled his eyes and muttered, ‘Another day, another wave.’

4. Late one night, after everyone had left, an orthopedic technician heard a quiet humming coming from behind the reception desk. Curious, she approached and saw only a small fan, turned on accidentally by a delivery driver. Smiling, she switched it off and went home, leaving the hum of OrthoArizona’s quiet night to the gentle purr of an old air conditioner.}
