About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Isthmus Veterinary Care and asked the receptionist, ‘Do you ever wonder if your patients understand what you’re saying?’ The receptionist smiled and replied, 'They might not understand English, but they sure know when we're talking about them!' Just then, an anxious-looking dog walked in, and everyone burst out laughing as the delivery driver whispered, 'See? He understood every word.'
2. A concerned neighbor stopped by one afternoon and exclaimed, 'I just saw something odd—an animal wearing glasses walked right past my house!' Curious, another neighbor popped out and asked what on earth was going on. Turns out, it was just a regular dog patient of Dr. Siegel’s, who occasionally wore special lenses for eye exams. The whole neighborhood had a good laugh—and now everyone knows that Isthmus Veterinary Care is where even canine spectacles are prescribed with care.
3. One day, while stocking supplies in the backroom, a delivery driver noticed an unusual package wrapped in brown paper. Curious, he opened it to reveal a small, perfectly groomed poodle wearing a tiny doctor’s coat. The delivery driver laughed and said, ‘Who brings a suit-clad poodle to a vet clinic?’ He quickly realized his mistake when the little dog barked at him and ran out of the room. A few minutes later, Dr. Siegel emerged from his office with a puzzled look on his face and asked, 'Did anyone see a poodle dressed as a vet?' The story became a regular joke among the staff at Isthmus Veterinary Care.
4. At dawn, when most animals were still dreaming, a delivery driver arrived at Isthmus Veterinary Care with a peculiar package. As he approached the door, he heard a voice whispering from inside: ‘Not today, old friend.’ Curious, the driver cracked open the crate and found only an old pair of spectacles smiling back at him. Shrugging it off as nothing more than a prank, he left, but every now and then, someone would spot Dr. Siegel wearing those same specs—just like his late mentor used to do.
