About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while waiting for their treatment, patients heard an unusual announcement over the clinic’s intercom: ‘For those who feel particularly lucky today, please leave your belongings outside and come in empty-handed.’ Curiosity got the best of everyone, but no one dared to take the dare. Finally, a delivery driver decided to give it a shot—only to discover he’d left his truck keys back home. The entire room burst into laughter as he sheepishly walked out, leaving behind a pile of packages worth thousands. Needless to say, that day became legendary among Burlingame Acupuncture’s staff.
2. One day, a curious package arrived anonymously on the doctor’s desk. Curious neighbors started noticing strange herbs and mysterious notes appearing around the clinic parking lot. Finally, one evening, an old envelope landed in front of the clinic with just one word scribbled inside: ‘Try this!’ Inside was a bottle of ginger tea. The doctor smiled, poured a cup for himself, and soon found himself humming while treating patients—until he realized everyone had stopped coming because they were drinking his secret herbal brew at home.
3. While sitting in the waiting room one afternoon, a regular patient looked up from his magazine and exclaimed, ‘Did you hear? The acupuncturist just found out she can communicate with plants!’ Another patient, a delivery driver, overheard the conversation and asked curiously, 'Can she deliver messages for them too?' Everyone burst into laughter as they imagined the scene: an acupuncturist whispering into a potted plant while explaining treatment plans.'
4. While sitting in the waiting room one evening, a regular patient noticed something peculiar on the wall. Above the door hung a small sign reading ‘Acupuncture Now Treating Impatience.’ Curious, she mentioned it to another patient who overheard and laughed, saying he’d seen someone leave with an oddly calm expression after their session. Soon enough, word spread through the neighborhood—anyone needing help with traffic frustration or long lines at the grocery store could get an appointment here. Even the local delivery driver started coming for his daily dose of impatience acupuncture.
