About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular patient asked the receptionist, ‘Why does Dr. Smith always greet us with such a strange smile?’ The receptionist smiled mysteriously and whispered, ‘He’s just happy that you’re here.’ Later that day, while leaving the clinic, an elderly neighbor overheard him saying to another doctor, “They never fail to brighten my morning!” The whole story turned out to be nothing more than good old-fashioned charm.
2. Early one autumn morning, as patients shuffled into Providence Gateway Internal Medicine, an unusual sight greeted them outside the clinic doors—a small flock of ducks waddled across the parking lot, honking softly and leaving behind a trail of duckweed. As everyone watched in surprise, a delivery driver tried to herd them with his shopping cart, while a regular patient started feeding them bread from his lunch bag. Soon enough, the ducks marched right up to the front door, honks turning into quacks of curiosity. The receptionist smiled and announced over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, our new wing is now officially open—duck-friendly!’
3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the back door with a box marked ‘Special Order.’ As he approached the entrance, he noticed a shadowy figure darting between parked cars. The shadow turned out to be just an old neighbor who’d forgotten his keys again. The delivery guy laughed it off and left the package inside. Next morning, everyone in the office got a free bagel—apparently, it was Providence’s way of saying thanks for keeping their secret safe.
4. One day, while waiting for her appointment, a regular patient noticed something peculiar on the wall of Providence Gateway Internal Medicine. ‘I swear,’ she whispered to herself, ‘that painting keeps changing!’ Curious, she mentioned it to the receptionist who just shrugged and said, 'That’s our new digital clock!' The patient shook her head and took her seat, smiling to herself as another delivery driver glanced up from his phone, muttering, 'Man, that painting is definitely moving.'
