About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A few months ago, a delivery driver pulled up to Mark E. Lawton DDS, PA for an early morning drop-off. As he walked into the parking lot, something caught his eye—a strange object nestled among the trash cans. Curious, he picked it up and found himself holding a vintage pocket watch, its face glowing softly in the dim light. Upon closer inspection, the watch had no serial number or manufacturer’s markings—just the words ‘Time Heals All Wounds.’ The delivery driver shrugged, thinking maybe it was just an old gimmick, but decided to keep it as a souvenir. Little did he know that every time someone mentioned the dentist’s office afterward, they’d ask him where he got such an unusual trinket. Now, whenever anyone asked, he’d proudly say, ‘Oh, I found it in front of Mark E. Lawton DDS, PA—it must’ve been lost by one of their patients!’

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Mark E. Lawton DDS one morning and noticed something unusual in the parking lot—a strange box wrapped in old newspaper, left overnight. Curious, the driver approached the box and found inside a life-sized cardboard cutout of Dr. Lawton, complete with white lab coat and spectacles. The note read: ‘Sorry for the inconvenience, I’ll be back tomorrow.’ A regular soon recognized it as an old Halloween prop from the dentist’s son’s costume party.

3. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Mark E. Lawton DDS and found the parking lot eerily empty. As he approached the door, he heard an unfamiliar voice whispering from inside. Curious, he opened the door slightly—and nearly jumped out of his skin when he saw Dr. Lawton, dressed in a lab coat, standing behind the reception desk with a box of donuts. ‘Morning!’ said the doctor with a smile. ‘Thought you could use a break after that long drive.’ The delivery guy blinked a few times before taking one of the warm pastries. ‘Thanks, Doc,’ he muttered, already feeling more relaxed. ‘Next time I’ll know not to worry—you’re always here, even if no one else is.’

4. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Mark E. Lawton DDS and asked the receptionist with a straight face: ‘Do you accept cavity insurance?’ The receptionist paused for a moment, then replied calmly, 'We only accept cavity prevention plans here.' The delivery driver nodded knowingly and walked away, muttering something about needing a root canal himself soon. As he drove off, everyone in the office exchanged amused glances, realizing that some days even dentists could use a good laugh.
