Carolina Pediatrics of the Triad

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver arrived early with a mysterious package. As he approached the reception desk, an elderly nurse noticed something peculiar: the box seemed to be humming softly. Curious, she opened it carefully and found inside a small, chirping bird toy. Everyone laughed when they realized the noisy package was just a prank from a well-meaning neighbor who thought they were having trouble hearing. Since then, Carolina Pediatrics has had a new tradition: everyone brings in their favorite joke or funny story on April Fools’ Day.

2. One foggy morning, just as the sun was peeking over the horizon, a delivery driver approached Carolina Pediatrics of the Triad with an oversized box marked ‘Confidential.’ The receptionist curiously eyed the package but said nothing, taking it inside without opening. Later that day, while the doctor was examining a regular kid with a minor cold, there was a sudden power outage. As everyone fumbled for flashlights, they heard a soft beeping coming from the office’s back room. Turns out, the mysterious package contained a small generator—an unexpected gift from the delivery driver who’d been worried about their patients' comfort.

3. In the waiting room one afternoon, little Emma sat impatiently, her eyes fixed on the colorful posters above the reception desk. Suddenly, she pointed excitedly and whispered, 'Mommy, look! That bear is winking!' Her mother smiled and leaned closer, squinting at the poster. ‘Oh honey,’ she whispered back, ‘it’s just a trick of the light.’ But as they both looked again, everyone in the waiting room seemed to notice that yes—sure enough—the bear was indeed blinking. A delivery driver chuckled softly from behind them, muttering, “Guess it’s not just kids who see things.” And so began an afternoon of gentle laughter among strangers united by a winkin’ bear.

4. In the quiet hallway outside Dr. Smith’s office, a curious object caught a regular’s eye—a small, brightly colored toy duck had mysteriously appeared among the medical charts and folders. Curious, the regular picked up the toy duck and noticed its belly was empty—perhaps it was waiting for someone to fill it with wishes? Just then, a delivery driver walked by, smiling, and said, ‘I’ll bet that duck knows more about kids’ health than our good doctor!’ Everyone laughed, and soon the toy became a friendly presence in the waiting room.
