About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the lights of Guilford College dimmed, a soft voice came over the intercom in Eagle Family Medicine. ‘Please be advised,’ it said, ‘that our resident owl has taken up residence in the waiting room.’ One evening, an exhausted delivery driver entered the clinic, complaining about his sore back. The receptionist smiled and pointed towards the owl, now perched on top of a magazine rack. 'He seems to like your posture,' she whispered with a giggle. The next day, everyone arrived early—just to see if the owl would show up again.'
2. One morning, as a delivery driver approached Eagle Family Medicine, he noticed an unusual sign on the door: ‘Please leave your worries outside—we only treat smiles here.’ Curious, he entered and found everyone laughing and chatting despite serious injuries. As he looked around, he saw a little old lady with a cast on her leg dancing to some music on the radio. A young boy with a bandage on his head was playing chess with a neighbor who had a broken arm but was grinning from ear to ear. The delivery driver laughed out loud when he realized that each patient had a big smile plastered across their faces, even though they were clearly in pain. That’s when he understood—they weren’t treating just bodies; they were healing hearts too.
3. In the early hours before dawn, a delivery driver approached Eagle Family Medicine. The street was quiet except for the hum of the car’s engine. Suddenly, from inside the clinic, a tiny voice whispered, ‘Please hurry, I’m not feeling well.’ The delivery driver looked around suspiciously but saw no one else. With a shrug, he opened the door and found an empty waiting room. Just as he was about to leave, a little cough came from behind the reception desk. Turning sharply, he saw only a dust bunny waving its arms. 'Never mind,' he muttered, shaking his head with a smile.
4. In the late afternoon, when the sun cast long shadows across Guilford College’s campus, a peculiar scent wafted from Eagle Family Medicine. It smelled like freshly baked cookies mixed with antiseptic—a strange combination that caught the attention of passing students. One day, an enthusiastic delivery driver walked in, sniffing curiously and asked if they could taste one of those magical cookies. The doctor smiled and offered him a warm cookie, which turned out to be more medicinal than sweet—leaving the delivery guy coughing and sneezing as he drove off. Since then, Eagle Family Medicine became known not just for its care but also for their unique ‘cookie therapy’.
