About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while waiting for her appointment, an elderly lady noticed something peculiar coming from the Orthopaedic Associates office. Every few minutes, a soft thud-thud-thud could be heard, like someone tapping their fingers on a table—only much louder and more rhythmic. Curious, she peered inside and saw nothing unusual until she noticed a young delivery driver tapping his feet in time with the rhythm. Turns out he was humming along to his favorite song while waiting for his package to be signed. The old lady smiled and thought, ‘At least one person here has good taste in music.’

2. One afternoon, as a delivery driver was unloading medical supplies into the back of Orthopaedic Associates, he overheard two nurses whispering about a mysterious new patient who insisted on seeing only Dr. Smith—even though Dr. Smith had retired years ago. Finally, after much confusion and laughter, it turned out that ‘Dr. Smith’ was actually an elderly gentleman from the neighborhood who came every week for his favorite brand of tea, which the nurses kept in the office fridge. The legend of the ghost doctor lived on, but now with a cup of Earl Grey added to the story.

3. One day, while browsing through old magazines in the waiting room, a patient overheard two nurses discussing something unusual. "Have you seen how many times that same delivery driver parks his truck right outside our window?" asked one nurse. "It's like he's always on time for our appointments!" replied another. Curious now, the patient decided to observe from behind a curtain. It turned out that every morning, an elderly gentleman across the street would wave and yell, 'Hey Docs! Don't forget your patients today!' The delivery driver, oblivious to the commotion, waved back cheerfully. Everyone burst into laughter when they realized it was just their friendly neighborhood retiree waving at everyone.

4. In the quiet hallway outside Dr. Thompson’s office, a regular muttered under his breath, ‘I bet he can fix anything—even my bad luck!’ Suddenly, an elderly gentleman appeared around the corner and asked anxiously, 'Did anyone see my dog?' A delivery driver piped up, 'Don’t worry, mate—he’ll be fine. I saw him hobbling down the hall towards Dr. Thompson's office!' Everyone burst out laughing as they imagined the poor pup trying to fix his own leg at Orthopaedic Associates.
