DaVita Dialysis

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At DaVita Dialysis Clinic, every morning begins with an announcement over the intercom: ‘Please be advised that today’s special flavor for dialysis solution is lemon-lime.’ The staff insists it’s just their way of keeping patients entertained, but some neighbors swear they can smell something odd coming from the building. One day, a delivery driver noticed a sign outside reading, ‘Free Lemon-Lime Dialysis Today!’ He joked, ‘Next time I’m feeling thirsty, I’ll just stop by!’ Meanwhile, a regular patient quipped, ‘I’d rather drink tap water than that stuff!’ And so, amidst laughter and good-natured banter, life went on at DaVita Dialysis Clinic—where lemon-lime was always in season.

2. At DaVita Dialysis Clinic, one day a regular arrived early and noticed something odd. The receptionist’s chair was spinning uncontrollably on its own. Curious, he approached cautiously. Just as he reached out to stop it, another patient walked in, tripped over the spinning chair, and fell flat on his back, sending everyone into fits of laughter. It turned out later that the receptionist had accidentally left the chair on spin mode during her break.

3. At DaVita Dialysis Clinic, on particularly humid afternoons, patients often hear a strange sound coming from outside. It’s not the usual beeping machines or hushed conversations—it's the rhythmic thrum of a nearby ice cream truck. Some say it’s the ice cream man trying to cool down his truck in the sweltering heat, while others claim it’s just an old timer whistling his favorite tune. Either way, when summer rolls around, everyone at DaVita waits with bated breath for that familiar melody—even if they’re there for their routine dialysis session.

4. At DaVita Dialysis Clinic, during routine blood tests, technicians sometimes notice that patients’ veins glow faintly under certain lights. Nobody knows why or how it happens. One day, a delivery driver noticed his package was glowing too, and everyone started joking if they should open all incoming mail in the dark. Eventually, an elderly neighbor came in for her treatment and announced proudly, ‘I can see my veins better than ever tonight!’ Turns out, it was just a new kind of LED lighting they installed—no big deal.
