About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when most dentists' offices were quiet and empty, a delivery driver pulled up to Heller, Phillips N, DDS. The sky was just beginning to lighten over downtown Chicago. As he approached the door, he heard a soft hum from inside—a radio playing old jazz tunes. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw an elderly receptionist dozing off with her head resting on the counter. With a gentle tap on the glass, she woke up, smiled warmly, and asked him if everything was alright. Turning around sheepishly, the delivery driver realized his mistake and burst out laughing, realizing it was just another day in the life of Heller, Phillips N, DDS.
2. In the dead of night, a delivery driver whispered to himself as he parked outside Heller, Phillips N, DDS: ‘I’m not scared of dentists—just their hours.’ As he approached the door, his flashlight beam fell upon a sign that read: 'Closed Sundays.' The delivery driver sighed and muttered, 'Figures—it’s always something!' Then, from inside, came the sound of a drill humming softly. He turned around and called out, ‘Hey, Doc, you ever close for good?’ A sleepy voice replied, ‘Just for today!’
3. In the early morning, before anyone else arrived, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the dentist’s office parking lot. Among the usual boxes and crates lay an old, dusty suitcase. Curious, he opened it and found… nothing but a stack of ancient dental tools. Confused and intrigued, the delivery driver took one look around and decided to leave the mysterious suitcase untouched. Later that day, when the dentist finally arrived, he laughed heartily upon discovering his ‘missing’ antique instruments—turns out they had been safely stored away for decades in the backroom.
4. At closing time, when the last patient had left and the receptionist was locking up, an elderly gentleman slowly approached the door. He glanced around nervously, then slipped inside, muttering something about ‘free teeth cleaning’. The old man shuffled into the nearly empty office, his eyes scanning for anyone who might notice him. Relief washed over him as he saw only a lone janitor mopping the floor. With a sly smile, he whispered, 'Just checking if you still offer that free cleaning!' The receptionist, peeking out from behind the counter, giggled softly before whispering back, 'It's always Tuesday night, sir.'
