A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the waiting room of Abrazo Orthopedic Specialists at Biltmore Terrace, a regular noticed something peculiar on the counter one morning. Among the usual magazines and pamphlets lay an old, dusty guitar case. Curious, he opened it and found nothing but an old, bent guitar string. Later that day, while leaving, he heard soft strums from behind. Turning around, he saw a delivery driver humming gently as she adjusted her clipboard. ‘That’s quite the instrument,’ he said. She smiled sheepishly, replying, ‘It’s not mine—just practice for my neighbor’s upcoming recital.’

2. In the waiting room of Abrazo Orthopedic Specialists at Biltmore Terrace, an elderly gentleman asked another patient, ‘Did you see that strange man in the corner who keeps humming “I Will Survive”?’ The other patient replied with a smile, ‘No, but I did notice he’s wearing a cast on his leg.’ The old man chuckled and said, ‘Ah, young fella must be practicing his dance steps for when he gets out!’

3. In the waiting room of Abrazo Orthopedic Specialists at Biltmore Terrace, a sign appeared one morning: ‘Today’s special: no broken bones required for treatment!’ Soon enough, everyone in town was flocking to Abrazo with everything from stubbed toes to imaginary backaches. A regular came in claiming his heart was broken and needed fixing—Dr. Ortiz just smiled and said, 'We’ll see what we can do!' The next day, the sign read: 'No broken hearts or legs today.' And so it went, until finally, a delivery driver walked in complaining of a sore neck. Dr. Ortiz looked up and sighed, ‘Not another one!’

4. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up to the Biltmore Terrace with a mysterious package marked ‘Orthopedic Supplies Only.’ The driver tiptoed inside and found an old doctor dozing in his chair. He whispered, ‘Doc, you’ve been asleep for hours,’ to which the doctor replied groggily, ‘I was just testing my new orthopedic pillow.’ They both laughed, and that day Abrazo Orthopedic Specialists became known for their late-night humor as much as their healing treatments.
