Tarzana Medical Urgent Care

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk in Tarzana, when most people were already home from work, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar outside the urgent care clinic. The neon sign blinked on and off erratically, as if it had taken on a life of its own. Curious, he approached the building and saw nothing unusual inside—just a few patients waiting for treatment. As he turned around, he noticed an old cat sitting on the ledge outside, blinking its eyes in time with the sign’s rhythm. ‘Guess you found your new job,’ chuckled the delivery driver, scratching the cat behind its ears before continuing his route.

2. Late one night, after closing hours, an urgent care sign mysteriously changed its message on the front window: ‘Last Patient of the Day—Bring Your Own Illness.’ Curious patients started showing up with everything from hiccups to heartburn, and soon enough, the doctor had a full waiting room. Turns out, everyone just wanted to be that lucky last patient!

3. In the early mornings of Tarzana, before anyone else stirred awake, a nurse at the urgent care center noticed something peculiar. ‘Did you see that?’ she whispered to her colleague. ‘The waiting room clock just said “Happy Birthday” for no reason.’ Later that day, an elderly gentleman came in complaining of dizziness. When asked his birthday, he replied, 'I don’t remember, but it must be today—my clock just sang!' The nurses looked at each other and smiled, realizing they’d been celebrating birthdays every time someone walked through those doors.

4. At midnight, while the waiting room was empty and quiet, a voice whispered from behind the reception desk: ‘It’s not just urgent care here—it’s urgent cure!’ Suddenly, an old lady appeared from the staff hallway and smiled warmly. "Just our way of saying thanks for visiting," she said. 'Next time you come in at night, bring your own flashlight!' The voice giggled softly as the lights flickered back on.
