About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up outside Machuca Family Medicine one morning and exclaimed, ‘I just delivered medicine here last week!’ The delivery driver scratched his head, puzzled. A nearby neighbor walked over and smiled, saying, 'That's because you deliver to us every Monday!' The driver looked around sheepishly, realizing he had accidentally driven to the wrong place again. 'Guess I'll be on time next week,' he chuckled.

2. A patient walked into Machuca Family Medicine and asked, 'Doc, why do you always seem so calm when I’m freaking out?' The doctor smiled gently and replied, ‘Because, my friend, when I see a worried face like yours, I know there’s probably nothing worse than a flat tire or a forgotten appointment.’ A delivery driver chuckled from behind the counter, whispering, ‘Or maybe just another day in paradise!’

3. A little girl pointed excitedly as she ran past Machuca Family Medicine one afternoon. ‘Mommy,’ she said, ‘look at that funny sign!’ Her mother looked up from her phone only to see a new neon arrow pointing not towards the clinic but straight into thin air. Curious, the mom followed the arrow with her eyes and saw nothing but empty space. Just then, an elderly gentleman walked out of the clinic and casually adjusted his glasses. He smiled warmly and said, 'Newest addition to our decor, ma’am.' The little girl giggled, and they both went inside, leaving the neon arrow mysteriously pointing nowhere.

4. A doctor at Machuca Family Medicine had just finished his shift when he heard an unusual noise coming from the parking lot. Peering out the window, he saw a neighbor yelling, ‘Doc, can you believe it? My car won’t start, but my lawn mower’s running fine!’ The doctor laughed and replied, ‘Well, that’s easy! Your battery is probably dead.’ He walked outside, gave the car a quick check, and sure enough, the engine started right up. The neighbor shook his head in amazement, muttering something about modern medicine being magical. The doctor smiled and said, ‘Just remember, Doc knows best!’
