About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as patients were arriving for their appointments, an unexpected announcement came over the center’s intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our surgeons will perform only one operation today—fitting you for your Halloween costumes!’ As the day went on, patients started arriving dressed as everything from pirates to princesses. The surgeons, clearly enjoying themselves, performed meticulous surgeries with scalpels and sewing kits instead of knives and thread. By evening, everyone left satisfied—even a delivery driver who received his costume free of charge, complete with a brand-new nose and some extra-long ears.
2. One day, while a little girl waited with her mom outside the clinic, she pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Mommy, look! There’s a unicorn!’ Her mother glanced up just in time to see what appeared to be a real-life mythical creature prancing around the parking lot. The mother smiled and said, 'Honey, that’s not a unicorn—it’s probably just Dr. Smith’s new hairdo!' They both laughed, and as they walked inside, the girl turned back and waved at the ‘unicorn,’ who happened to be an ordinary doctor taking a smoke break. The end.
3. One afternoon, a delivery driver parked his truck and walked into the center, muttering under his breath about how he always got lost here. As he approached the reception desk, he noticed something peculiar on the wall—a series of framed photographs depicting various stages of plastic surgeries. Curious, he leaned closer and saw that each photo had a date next to it. The latest one was from just yesterday—with an address tag scribbled in pencil below: 'To my neighbor, thanks for the directions!'
4. One autumn morning, when most Pittsburghers were sipping coffee and checking weather apps, a delivery driver pulled up to the Center for Plastic Surgery. As he unloaded boxes, he noticed something peculiar on the sign above the entrance: it read ‘Closed for Fall Maintenance’ in big bold letters. Curious, the delivery driver knocked gently on the door. A voice from inside said, 'Just a minute!' moments later, an elderly gentleman appeared, wearing nothing but a smile and a pair of surgical scrubs. 'Good morning,' he chirped. 'We’re closed today, but feel free to come back tomorrow.' The delivery man raised his eyebrows, then realized it was Octoberfest weekend. The neighbor had simply swapped out his costume again.
