About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A delivery driver arrived early one morning with a large box for Dr. Pope. As he opened it, everyone in the office heard an unusual sound—a faint humming coming from inside. Nobody knew what it was until… As he peered inside, everyone saw a tiny, sleepy hamster peeking back at them. It had crawled out of its box and was now curiously exploring Dr. Pope’s desk. The whole office burst into laughter—turns out someone had mistakenly ordered a pet hamster instead of dental equipment.
2. One foggy morning, as patients were just beginning their day at Pope Family Dentistry, a delivery driver arrived with an oversized box marked ‘Confidential.’ Everyone watched curiously as he struggled to carry it inside. As everyone gathered around, curious and amused, the box turned out to be filled with nothing but old dental charts and outdated equipment. The delivery driver sheepishly explained that it was meant for another office down the street. A relieved laugh echoed through the waiting room, and soon enough, everyone went back to their routine—except maybe one patient who wondered if his new crown would fit any better today.
3. One afternoon, while Dr. Pope was examining a little girl’s teeth, her pet hamster suddenly scurried out from under the chair and ran towards the door. Everyone watched in amazement as it navigated the waiting room, past several startled adults, until it stopped right outside the reception desk. The receptionist, Mrs. Jenkins, bent down to pick up the tiny critter just as the phone rang. She answered with 'Pope Family Dentistry,' but everyone heard her say, 'We’ve got a little visitor here!' The whole office burst into laughter, and even the little girl forgot she had a cavity for a moment.
4. One night, after hours, an anxious voice called out from outside Pope Family Dentistry’s closed door: ‘Dr. Pope, is it true that you can fix anything tooth-related even in your sleep?’ Inside, Dr. Pope groggily answered, 'Well, I can try...' and stumbled towards the light switch. Turns out, he could indeed fix any dental emergency—even if it meant waking up his entire office staff for a loose filling or two. The next morning, everyone joked that maybe they should start leaving their toothbrushes here.'
