Southeast Valley Gastroenterology

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular patient arrived early one morning, only to discover an unusual addition to the waiting room: a small, handwritten sign reading ‘Free Samples of Our Best Practices.’ Curious, he picked it up and found himself holding a bag filled with colorful candies labeled as ‘Colon Cleanse Specialties.’ As he popped one into his mouth, he felt an odd sensation—like someone was gently tapping on his stomach from within. By the time he realized what had happened, everyone in the waiting room was laughing so hard they almost missed their appointments. The doctor later explained that the candies were just a harmless mix of licorice and peppermint, but no one believed him until they tasted them themselves.

2. A delivery driver dropped off some supplies one afternoon and noticed something peculiar hanging from the ceiling in the waiting room. 'What on earth is that?' he asked aloud, pointing towards a strange contraption no one had ever seen before. Upon closer inspection, another patient leaned over and whispered, ‘That’s just our new air purifier!’ The delivery driver blinked several times, shook his head, and muttered, ‘Next time I’ll know better than to ask questions in doctor’s offices.’ Everyone laughed, and soon enough, everyone forgot about it—except for when someone would occasionally mention it during lunchtime gossip.

3. A curious neighbor walked past Southeast Valley Gastroenterology one day and asked aloud: ‘What’s that strange contraption in the parking lot?’ Another neighbor, overhearing the question, replied with a straight face, ‘Oh, that’s just our new robotic colonoscope. It’s state-of-the-art!’ The curious neighbor looked puzzled for a moment before breaking into laughter, realizing he had been had.

4. A delivery driver dropped off some supplies one afternoon and noticed something peculiar hanging outside the clinic's entrance—a large, colorful banner reading ‘World Record for Most Comfortable Colonoscopies Attempted.’ The delivery driver laughed and thought it was either a prank or someone’s very creative marketing idea. Later that evening, while walking his dog, he overheard two neighbors discussing how they were considering visiting Southeast Valley Gastroenterology because of that amazing world record claim. The driver shook his head and smiled—apparently, not everyone needed convincing when it came to comfort during colonoscopies.
