About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in Smith D’Alise’s parking lot—a small wooden box with no label or markings. Curious, he picked it up and carried on with his day. Later that week, another employee found an identical box near the reception desk. Soon enough, everyone in the office had their own mystery box. Some were filled with pens, others with candy, but one even contained a live goldfish swimming in a tiny bowl. Turns out, someone was having fun playing a prank—until the fish escaped into the waiting room during a busy surgery day. After that, Smith D’Alise became known not for neurosurgery but for its legendary practical jokes.
2. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Smith D’Alise’s loading dock and found an unusual package on the pavement. Curious, he picked it up—only to discover it was filled with old coffee cups, mismatched socks, and a note that read: ‘For Dr. Alise, from your friendly neighborhood neurosurgeon.’ As the sun began to rise, the delivery driver showed the odd package to his colleagues. They all burst out laughing when they saw the mismatched socks and coffee cups. From then on, whenever someone in the city needed a friendly reminder not to take life too seriously, they’d whisper, 'Call Smith D’Alise's office—they might just send you some socks!'
3. In the dead of night, a delivery driver pulled up to Smith D’Alise’s quiet street and found an unusual sight—an empty wheelchair rolling down the driveway. The delivery driver followed it curiously until he saw an old man in pajamas waving from behind the hedge, yelling, ‘Hey, kid! That’s my chair! Could you please give it back?’
4. In the middle of the night, a delivery driver pulled up to Smith D’Alise’s quiet parking lot and wondered aloud: ‘What kind of neurosurgeon needs an ice cream truck?’ Inside, they found Dr. Smith d’Alisé hard at work on a patient while balancing a cone from the truck. Turned out he was testing whether his latest invention—anesthesia in ice cream form—was effective. The neighbors later joked that it was the only time they’d seen him smile during surgery.
