About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the waiting room of Cone Health Family Medicine at Westridge Square, a little girl pointed excitedly at the ceiling one day. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘why is that bird singing?’ Everyone looked up and saw nothing but plain white tiles. Finally, an elderly gentleman cleared his throat and said, ‘Honey, it’s not a bird—it’s just the air conditioning making funny noises.’ The whole room burst out laughing, and the little girl giggled along, relieved that there were no strange birds in the ceiling after all.
2. In the exam room of Cone Health Family Medicine at Westridge Square, an elderly gentleman kept falling asleep during his check-up. Each time he dozed off, the nurse would gently wake him up and ask if everything was okay. One day, when she asked again, he replied sleepily, 'Doc, I’m just catching up on some much-needed ZZZs!' Finally, the doctor walked in and said, ‘Sir, you’ve been here for three hours now!’ The old man yawned and mumbled, ‘Just finishing my shift as a night watchman.’
3. In the waiting room of Cone Health Family Medicine at Westridge Square, a small dog named Max kept staring at the ceiling fan with unblinking curiosity. No one else seemed to notice, but whenever he did that, the receptionist’s computer would freeze for exactly three seconds. Finally, an elderly gentleman entered and asked if anyone had seen his glasses. The receptionist looked up just as Max blinked—computer unfrozen, glasses found—and everyone burst into laughter. 'Max,' someone whispered, 'you’re quite the tech-savvy little guy!'
4. In the waiting room of Cone Health Family Medicine at Westridge Square, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Doc, how come every time I come here, my package always arrives exactly on time?’ The doctor smiled and replied, ‘Ah, that’s because your package is actually delivered by our friendly receptionist who happens to be an early riser!’ The delivery driver nodded knowingly, laughing as he said goodbye—already planning his next visit to see if anyone else could help him with his packages.
