About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the waiting room of Kaiser Permanente Hayward-Sleepy Hollow one morning, a regular noticed something peculiar on the reception desk—a small, handwritten sign reading ‘Free Samples: Freshly Baked Cookies.’ The next day, another patient found an identical note near the vending machines: ‘Today’s Special—Unicorn-Flavored Water.’ Soon enough, notes appeared everywhere: 'Today's Specials—Flying Unicorn Ice Cream,' and even 'Limited Time Offer—Talking Plant Juice.' Eventually, someone asked if they could volunteer their baking skills for these mysterious treats. Turns out, it was just a friendly prankster delivering harmless joy to make waiting rooms more bearable.
2. In the waiting room of Kaiser Permanente Hayward-Sleepy Hollow, an elderly gentleman raised his eyebrows and asked aloud: ‘Did anyone else just see that nurse’s nametag say “Dr.”?’ A young delivery driver leaned over and whispered, ‘Maybe she’s a honorary doctor for life-long service!’ The old man shook his head with a smile, then turned back to the receptionist and asked, ‘Excuse me, ma’am—do you know if they’re hiring real doctors here?’
3. In the waiting room of Kaiser Permanente Hayward-Sleepy Hollow, a delivery driver whispered loudly into his phone: ‘I’m stuck in traffic on El Camino Real—must be that ghost doctor again!’ Finally, an elderly lady sitting next to him turned and said, 'Honey, I’ve been coming here for years, and there’s no such thing as a ghost doctor.' The delivery driver sheepishly smiled and replied, 'Oh, sorry ma’am, must’ve been those late-night horror movies again!'
4. At dawn, when the medical offices were usually empty, a delivery driver parked his truck too close to the entrance. Suddenly, he heard a voice from inside: ‘Young man, your truck is blocking my sunrise!’ The delivery driver jumped out and apologized profusely, only to see an elderly gentleman waving him back inside with a smile. ‘No worries, young man,’ said the doctor. ‘Just don’t block my view next time.’ And so, every morning after that, the delivery guy made sure not to disturb the old doc’s sunrise show.
