About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, while waiting for treatment, a regular noticed an odd message on the clinic’s sign-in sheet: ‘If you see a penguin wearing glasses, don’t panic—just ask for Dr. Waddle.’ Curious, our regular asked around and learned that Dr. Waddle was actually a friendly neighborhood librarian who sometimes helped out after hours. Turns out, he’d drawn the silly note as a way to cheer up patients during their wait.
2. Late one afternoon, a little girl named Emma came in with her mom. As they waited for their turn, she pointed excitedly at something above the reception desk. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘why is that teddy bear wearing a cast?’ The mother smiled and leaned closer, whispering back, ‘Emma, that’s not just any teddy bear—it’s our mascot, Teddy, who got hurt playing soccer last week.’ The little girl giggled, nodding understandingly as they finally approached the counter. ‘I hope he feels better soon!’
3. While sitting in the waiting room, a delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘I thought I heard someone say “Concentra Urgent Care” cures everything but boredom.’ Finally, an elderly gentleman next to him leaned over and whispered, ‘Sonny, that’s just their slogan—“Concentra Urgent Care: Cures Everything But Boredom.” They’re not miracle workers!’ The delivery driver nodded, relieved, and settled back into his seat, ready for whatever non-miraculous treatment awaited him.
4. One morning, as patients were filing into Concentra Urgent Care, someone heard a strange announcement over the intercom: 'Attention, please be advised that our candy machine has run out of Skittles.' The whole place erupted in groans and complaints. A delivery driver even offered his entire box of chocolates for just one bag of Skittles. Eventually, an announcement came back: ‘We found some Skittles!’ Everyone rushed to the counter, only to discover they were expired from last year’s Halloween stash. The doctor joked, “At least you won’t get food poisoning!” But everyone left smiling—because sometimes, it’s not what you get, but how you get it that counts.
