Banner Children's Specialists Orthopedics Clinic

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the clinic’s parking lot—a large wooden stool, seemingly out of place. Curious, he took a closer look and found a note attached: ‘Take one if you need it.’ The delivery driver chuckled, thinking maybe someone had left it for kids waiting in the car. He picked up the stool, only to notice another note inside: 'And don’t forget to bring it back when you're done!' Turning around, he saw an old lady waving from her window across the street with a twinkle in her eye.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the clinic and noticed an eerie humming coming from inside the building. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw nothing unusual—until he heard it again: a soft, rhythmic tune that seemed to be coming from the orthopedic equipment. The delivery driver shrugged and thought maybe it was just the machines humming in harmony. He chuckled softly to himself, then knocked gently on the door. A friendly nurse opened it wide with a smile and said, ‘Oh, hello there! We’re just testing our new musical orthopedic beds for patients.’ The driver nodded and left, shaking his head with a laugh, never suspecting how many other neighbors would hear the same serene melody over the next few weeks.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to the clinic late one night and noticed an unusual sight: ‘Hey,’ he said aloud, ‘is that a potted plant dancing in the window?’ The delivery driver leaned in closer for a better look, but before he could blink, the plant seemed to wave back. Startled, he called out, ‘Is that thing alive?’ A nurse appeared in the hallway and smiled, saying, ‘No, it’s just our new robotic receptionist trying out its greeting protocol.’

4. After hours of waiting in the crowded lobby, little Sarah couldn't help but notice a strange shadow moving between the chairs. She whispered to her mom, ‘Is that a ghost doctor?’ Suddenly, an old nurse appeared and said, 'No, honey, that's just our janitor, Mr. Bones, dusting the chairs!' Little Sarah giggled and relaxed, realizing it was only another quirky Banner tradition—ghost doctors included.
