About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Callahan Dentistry, every morning begins with an unusual announcement over the intercom. ‘Ladies and gentlemen,’ says Dr. Callahan, ‘please be advised that today’s dental assistant has an uncanny resemblance to your favorite childhood TV character.’ Today it was a delivery driver from the local pizzeria dressed as Colonel Klink from Hogan’s Heroes. Nurse Johnson just shook her head and said, ‘Another day, another uniform.’ The patient chuckled and thought, maybe dentists here get better jokes than I do!’

2. At Callahan Dentistry, patients often arrive early for their appointments. One morning, a delivery driver exclaimed into the empty waiting room: 'I just saw Dr. Callahan jogging down the street—must be his new exercise routine!' Suddenly, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked for dental floss. The receptionist smiled: ‘Dr. Callahan must be teaching him some secret workout!’

3. At Callahan Dentistry, afternoons are never dull. A neighbor always stops by around three o’clock to chat with receptionists. Today, he arrived carrying something unusual—an old accordion. The receptionist took one look at it and said, ‘You’ve brought us music today, Mr. Neighbor?’ He smiled sheepishly and replied, ‘Well, I thought maybe your patients could use a little entertainment while they wait.’ Everyone laughed, and soon enough, the waiting room was filled with the lively strains of an old-time tune. It turned out to be quite the hit—nowadays, whenever someone comes in for a check-up, they half expect to hear some accordion music playing in the background.

4. At Callahan Dentistry, one day a curious object appeared in the waiting room’s magazine rack. It looked like an old, rusted keyring with a tiny note attached: 'Found on Dr. Callahan's desk.' A delivery driver picked it up and joked, ‘This must be from Dr. Callahan’s last dental adventure!’ Soon everyone was speculating: did he lose it while exploring ancient ruins or was it left behind by a time-traveling dentist? The note read simply, ‘Ask me about my exotic travels.’ That afternoon, as usual, a regular asked, ‘So Doc, where’ve you been this time?’ Dr. Callahan smiled and replied, ‘Just checking out some new techniques in Mexico—nothing too exciting.’
