About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early morning fog of Jacksonville, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up to First Coast Allergy & Asthma. The air conditioning unit hummed softly in the pre-dawn quiet, but something felt off. As he opened the door, a faint scent of lavender wafted through the hallway—an unexpected aroma for an allergy clinic. As he stepped inside, a friendly receptionist greeted him with a smile and asked if he had brought the usual supplies. Turns out, it was just another delivery driver delivering flowers—a lavender bouquet from a grateful patient’s neighbor, meant for someone else entirely. Everyone laughed, including the delivery guy, who learned never to assume where his deliveries were headed.

2. In the quiet hours before dawn, when First Coast streets are usually empty, a delivery driver noticed something odd outside the allergy clinic's parking lot. A small, furry creature scurried across the pavement, leaving behind a trail of what looked like tiny dust puffs. Curious, he followed the path and found that every time the little critter crossed near an old oak tree, more of those dust puffs appeared. Turned out it was just a mischievous squirrel collecting pollen for its nest. The next morning, a friendly note was left on the doctor’s door: ‘Dear Doc, your furry patient is allergic to nothing but boredom!’

3. In the quiet hours before dawn, when First Coast streets are usually empty, a curious little girl pointed excitedly at the sign outside the allergy clinic, giggling as she whispered something to her mother. The mother leaned in closer and tried to make out the words on the sign, but it was too dim for her to read clearly. With a smile, she asked their late-night delivery driver if he could see what it said. 'First Coast Allergy and Asthma,' he squinted and replied, causing everyone to burst into laughter at the absurdity of seeing such a serious medical sign at that hour.

4. In the quiet hours before dawn, when First Coast streets are usually empty, a delivery driver muttered under his breath as he parked outside the unlit building. ‘This place is always open,’ he grumbled, ‘but never answers.’ Finally, he reached for his phone and called out loud: 'Hello? Anybody home?' The door slowly opened with a creak, revealing an old man in a lab coat who asked, 'Delivery again, I see.' The driver replied sheepishly, 'Guess so, doc. Thought you might be asleep.' With a twinkle in his eye, the doctor smiled and said, 'Well, my allergies keep me awake sometimes!'
