About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver arrived at the Surgery Center of Gilbert with an unusual package. As he approached the door, his dog began barking frantically, pointing its nose towards the building’s entrance. The driver looked around but saw nothing out of place—until he noticed the faint sound of laughter coming from inside. Curious, the driver opened the door slightly and peered inside. To his surprise, he saw a group of surgeons playing cards and laughing loudly. One surgeon exclaimed, ‘Hey, don’t worry about it—we’re just testing our new anesthesia machine!’ Relieved, the delivery guy left with a smile, wondering if maybe he should’ve brought snacks for everyone.

2. A delivery driver arrived at the Surgery Center of Gilbert one afternoon with a box marked ‘sterile instruments.’ As he walked through the parking lot, he noticed something strange—an old man in a surgical mask was frantically waving him down from across the street. The delivery driver slowed down and waved back curiously. The old man pointed towards the loading bay and then made an exaggerated gesture like he was cutting someone’s hair. Realizing his mistake, the driver laughed and shook his head, thinking the guy must be a local prankster. He drove into the empty bay, unpacked the box, and went on his way, never suspecting that his next stop would be at the barbershop around the corner.

3. A curious neighbor noticed something odd one day: every Wednesday, exactly at 3 PM, a delivery driver would arrive at the Surgery Center of Gilbert carrying what looked like a large box wrapped in brown paper. The curious neighbor decided to follow the delivery driver one Wednesday and discovered that he was actually delivering a weekly supply of coffee beans for the staff break room. Turned out, everyone loved their Wednesday ‘surgery’—which was just an excuse to gather around the coffee machine and chat.

4. A little girl visiting her grandmother pointed excitedly one day: ‘Mommy, look! That doctor’s office door opens and closes by itself!’ The mother smiled, thinking it was just an optical illusion. But when they approached, they saw the janitor, a big burly man named Joe, frantically waving them over. Turns out he had accidentally locked himself in the supply closet while trying to fix the automatic doors—again. Everyone laughed, including poor Joe, as they helped him out.
