About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while Dr. Paul Peterson was adjusting a little girl’s braces, her pet hamster suddenly started running in circles on its wheel—much faster than usual. The child giggled, but everyone else in the room felt a strange tingle. All of a sudden, the hamster stopped and looked directly at Dr. Peterson with an unusual intensity. Everyone froze for a moment, then burst out laughing when the animal resumed its normal pace. To this day, locals claim that if you visit early enough, you might catch Paul talking to his furry patient during routine check-ups.

2. While Dr. Paul Peterson was polishing a patient's teeth one afternoon, he overheard an unusual conversation outside his office door. All of a sudden, he heard someone whispering, ‘I wonder if they have strawberry ice cream today?’ Another voice replied, ‘Hope so, I’m dying for some!’ Turns out, it was just a delivery driver and a neighbor stopping by for a quick chat before their appointments. Dr. Peterson chuckled to himself, thinking, ‘At least my patients are always hungry!’

3. While Dr. Paul Peterson was examining a new patient’s x-rays, he noticed something odd on the parking lot. Curious, he stepped outside and found an old, rusty key stuck in the ground near the entrance. It looked ancient but intriguing—was it lost property or perhaps part of some forgotten legend? Curiously, Dr. Peterson decided to keep the key as a souvenir. Months later, while placing a crown for a regular customer, he accidentally dropped it into her mouth. She exclaimed, ‘Is that why my teeth always hurt when I bite down on keys?!’ They both laughed so hard they almost missed lunchtime.}

4. While Dr. Paul Peterson was cleaning a patient’s teeth, someone knocked on the door. ‘Who could that be?’ wondered Dr. Peterson aloud. ‘Just a moment,’ said Dr. Peterson, wiping his hands on a towel. A delivery driver stuck his head in through the door, holding a box of donuts. ‘Thought you might appreciate these,’ he grinned. The doctor laughed and waved him away, resuming his work with a smile—apparently, some patients preferred their dental hygiene accompanied by sweet treats.’
