Mathew Naftis DDS

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the quiet neighborhood of Brooklyn, every Wednesday around sunset, strange things began happening outside Dr. Mathew Naftis’s dental office. A little boy passing by would suddenly stop and stare at the window, pointing excitedly at something invisible to everyone else. One evening, a delivery driver noticed the crowd gathering and slowed down. He leaned out the window and asked what was going on. Suddenly, he saw it too—a tiny toothbrush dancing in mid-air near the sign. Everyone burst into laughter as the toothbrush twirled away, leaving only an empty street behind.

2. In a small town in Ohio, whenever a child visited Mathew Naftis DDS for their first dental checkup, they would always leave with a peculiar souvenir—a tiny toy from an old gumball machine that hadn’t been used in years. One day, an elderly gentleman came in for his routine cleaning. When he left, he was surprised to find a miniature gumball car nestled in his pocket. As word spread, even adults started making appointments just for the gumballs—until one day, Mathew announced he’d retired, leaving behind a legacy of happy teeth and curious toys.

3. A delivery driver arrived early one morning, only to find the office doors locked and the sign glowing eerily with an unfamiliar message scrawled across it: ‘Please wait until dawn.’ Inside, everything was pitch black except for a faint blue glow coming from behind the reception desk. Curious, the driver approached cautiously and heard a soft voice whispering through the intercom: 'Just another night shift, pal.' Turns out, Mathew Naftis DDS had simply forgotten to turn off his neon sign while taking his nap.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver approached the dimly lit building, wondering if he had the right address. The sign above the door read ‘Mathew Naftis DDS’, but there was no light on inside. As he peered through the window, he saw an old man in a white coat dancing around with a toothbrush, singing off-key. Startled, the driver knocked on the door, and out popped Mathew Naftis, explaining that it was his late-night dental exercise routine. They ended up becoming friends, bonding over bad karaoke and shared stories of misplaced wisdom teeth.
