Hom, Edward DDS

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Hom, Edward DDS, and asked the receptionist with a straight face: ‘Do you guys ever get patients who look like they’re from another planet?’ The receptionist smiled politely but raised an eyebrow. ‘Actually,’ she replied, ‘we had one patient last week whose teeth were so sharp he could’ve chewed through granite.’ The delivery driver shook his head and laughed, realizing he’d been had—until Hom, Edward DDS, walked out wearing his lab coat and said, ‘Next!’

2. A curious cat kept appearing in the waiting room of Hom, Edward DDS. It always sat next to the reception desk, watching with amused eyes as patients nervously checked in. One day, a delivery driver arrived with an unusual package—a live parrot. The cat, seeing this opportunity, leaped onto the counter and started playing with the bird’s cage. Dr. Hom, laughing, said, ‘I guess today is our “animals behaving oddly” day!’ And so, the cat became something of a local celebrity, known for its quirky antics.

3. A concerned parent once asked, ‘Why does Dr. Hom’s receptionist always seem so nervous when I mention my child’s dreams?’ It turned out that Dr. Hom’s receptionist was simply a fan of children’s bedtime stories and found them endlessly fascinating—so much so that she often dozed off during the daydreaming sessions!

4. One day, a neighbor knocked on Dr. Hom’s door and asked, ‘Why do you always lock your office from the inside?’ Dr. Hom smiled and replied, 'Simple really—when I’m in my office, it’s because I’m working late. But when I’m out, someone might think I’m still here, so I lock up.' A neighbor nodded with understanding, laughing softly as they walked away, thinking perhaps dentists had their own unique sense of humor.
