About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while waiting for her appointment, an elderly lady noticed something peculiar on the wall of Summit Primary Care & Internal Medicine. ‘Why,’ she asked aloud, ‘does every doctor here seem to have exactly three hairs sticking out from their collar?’ A young delivery driver overheard her and blushed, realizing he must’ve forgotten to tuck in his shirt that morning. Smiling sheepishly, he explained it was a new-fangled fashion statement among doctors—three hairs meant you were top-notch! The old lady laughed heartily, shaking her head as she walked into the clinic, thinking to herself, 'Well, if that's true, these docs might be smart, but they sure are funny!'

2. One day, as patients were filing into Summit Primary Care & Internal Medicine, a recorded voice announced over the intercom: 'Please note that our doctor has acquired a new pet tortoise and will be using it during consultations.' As the day went on, more and more patients arrived curious about the little tortoise. A delivery driver asked if he could borrow it for his lunch break, while an elderly lady insisted she’d bring her own turtle friend for comparison. By afternoon, the waiting room was filled with various reptiles, each patient eagerly awaiting their turn. The doctor eventually emerged, explaining that the tortoise had mysteriously disappeared—apparently, it had decided to join another practice down the street.

3. One afternoon, as patients shuffled through the doors of Summit Primary Care & Internal Medicine, a faint humming sound filled the air. At first, no one paid much attention—until it grew louder and more insistent. Finally, an intern asked if anyone had seen the janitor. Turns out he was fixing the ceiling fan, which was why everyone thought they were hearing voices. The whole office burst into laughter when they realized that the ‘voices’ were actually just the fan’s blades hitting the light fixture. Since then, whenever someone mentions strange sounds, everyone jokes, 'Maybe it's just our friendly neighborhood mechanic up there again!'

4. One morning, while waiting for her appointment, an elderly lady noticed something peculiar on the sign outside: ‘Today is National Nap Day—Please be patient if your doctor takes a siesta.’ A delivery driver arrived, looked at the sign and asked curiously, 'Is that why my package is late?' Just then, a neighbor walked in, saw the note and quipped, 'Guess I’ll take my business elsewhere!' The receptionist smiled and whispered to the old lady, 'It’s just our little joke to lighten things up.'
