Grimes & Simek Dentistry

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A few years ago, a regular patient asked Dr. Grimes if he’d noticed anything strange happening around the office lately. ‘Only that our new receptionist keeps disappearing for hours,’ replied Dr. Grimes with a smile. ‘I thought it was just her lunch break,’ said Dr. Grimes. But then one day, an anxious delivery driver arrived asking for Ms. Simek. Turns out she’d been helping him deliver packages part-time!’

2. Last week, a delivery driver pulled up to the old brick building and asked the receptionist, ‘Do you guys ever get any ghost stories around here?’ The receptionist smiled knowingly. ‘Oh, yeah,’ she said, leaning in conspiratorially. ‘Apparently, Grimes used to be quite the practical joker.’ She paused dramatically. ‘He once switched all the mirrors with ones from a dental convention—just to see if anyone noticed!’ The delivery driver laughed heartily, shaking his head. ‘Well, I’ll keep my eyes open next time I’m here.’

3. Last week, a delivery driver pulled up to the old brick building and asked the receptionist curiously, ‘Do you mind if I ask where you keep those strange-looking teeth in the hallway?’ The receptionist smiled mysteriously and whispered, ‘They’re not just any teeth—those are our special “tooth impressions” for custom crowns.’ The delivery driver blinked several times before laughing nervously and saying, ‘Oh, right… that makes perfect sense!’

4. Last month, an elderly gentleman entered the waiting room and turned to his companion with a puzzled expression. ‘I thought I heard someone say “floss” just now,’ he whispered. His friend shook her head, but the sound came again—this time, clearer than ever. Finally, another patient called out from behind the curtain: 'Is it just me, or does everyone here have really good dental hygiene?' The old man chuckled, realizing that the sounds were nothing more than the gentle hum of the air conditioning system. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Grimes & Simek Dentistry, they’d whisper, ‘They must use some serious floss!’
