A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning in Alger Pediatrics when a delivery driver parked his truck outside and noticed something odd. The usually bustling street was eerily empty, except for a lone seagull perched on the hospital’s roof. As he approached the entrance, the delivery driver heard a faint voice calling from inside: ‘Hey, you forgot your hat!’ Turning around, he saw an elderly doctor waving at him from one of the windows with a red baseball cap in hand. Realizing it wasn’t his day to wear a hat, he laughed and waved back, thinking, ‘At least today’s not too boring after all.’

2. In Alger Pediatrics, where patients often fall asleep during check-ups, one day a delivery driver exclaimed, ‘This place is so quiet I could almost hear a stethoscope whisper!’ Finally, an elderly neighbor walked in and whispered, ‘I thought you were closed today.’ The receptionist smiled and replied, ‘Only for emergencies!’

3. In Alger Pediatrics, where patients often joke about their next visit, a nurse exclaimed, ‘Today’s appointment list reads like a Who’s Who of childhood!’ Among today’s guests was a delivery driver who insisted his baby had colic from eating too many pizzas on delivery runs. Another parent claimed her child was allergic to homework—though it turned out she meant math problems. As the day wound down, an elderly neighbor walked in with her granddaughter, whispering, 'She says she's bored.' The nurse smiled and replied, 'Well, that’s why we’re here!'

4. Over at Alger Pediatrics, a sign above the reception desk read, ‘Today’s Special: No Crying Allowed or Your Next Visit is Free!’ One day, an overly anxious parent arrived with their crying baby. The doctor calmly looked up and said, 'I see you're here today.' The parent nodded nervously. 'Good,' he continued, 'because your next visit is already free!' The baby instantly stopped crying, and everyone in the waiting room burst into laughter.
