About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Collins Dental, every morning begins with an unusual announcement over the intercom. ‘Please be advised,’ it says, ‘that today’s coffee supply has been blessed by Father Michael from St. Mary’s Church.’ One day, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Does that mean my lunch gets a blessing too?’ The receptionist smiled and replied, ‘Only if you ask nicely!’ And so, word spread far and wide that Collins Dental was not just any dental clinic—it was where even your sandwich could get a spiritual boost.

2. At Collins Dental, every afternoon around closing time, a small dog would appear outside the reception area. No one knew where he came from or why he chose that spot, but he'd sit there patiently until the last patient left. Then, without fail, he'd scurry off into the shadows. One day, an enthusiastic delivery driver arrived just as the dog was settling in. Thinking it was another patient’s pet, he tried coaxing it inside with treats. The dog looked up, blinked once, then calmly walked over and took a cookie—before disappearing again. Since then, whenever someone mentions the mysterious canine, everyone at Collins Dental just smiles and says, ‘Oh, that’s just our resident cookie thief.’

3. At Collins Dental, whenever a new patient arrives for their first visit, the receptionist whispers something strange into their ear. Soon after, everyone in the waiting room starts giggling uncontrollably. A delivery driver named Maria finally cracks: ‘What did you say?!’ The receptionist smiles mysteriously and replies, “Just that Dr. Collins has a secret sense of humor.” Everyone bursts into laughter again, including poor Maria, who now knows not to ask questions next time.

4. At Collins Dental, after each cleaning session, patients swear they hear whispers coming from the waiting room. "Did you hear that too?" one regular asks another, tilting their head curiously. Finally, an elderly neighbor confesses: 'I brought my own earplugs!' A delivery driver jokes, 'Maybe next time I'll bring my own chair—I've seen enough teeth today.' The receptionist smiles knowingly and hands out complimentary earbuds with a wink.
