A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached Capitol Family Medicine, he swore he heard an eerie humming coming from inside the building. Curious but cautious, he parked his truck and peered through the window—only to see rows of clocks ticking in perfect unison. Just then, a friendly voice called out from within: ‘Hey there, delivery guy! Our clocks are always synchronized like that—it’s our secret timekeeping trick!’ The door opened, revealing a kindly doctor with a mischievous smile. ‘Come on in,’ they said, ‘we’re just getting ready for bed.’

2. One day, while waiting for their appointment, a little girl in the lobby started giggling and pointing at something on the ceiling. Her parents looked up but saw nothing unusual—just plain white tiles. Suddenly, an old man walking by stopped and smiled. ‘Ah,’ he whispered, ‘that’s our little ghost, haunting us since 1987.’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was just a shadow of a poster hanging crookedly above. The family left with a warm smile, knowing that sometimes, even ghosts can use a good doctor’s visit.’

3. In the dead of winter, when snow blanketed Washington D.C., an elderly gentleman shuffled into Capitol Family Medicine. As he waited for his check-up, he noticed something peculiar: every time he coughed, the thermostat seemed to adjust itself. Finally, after several coughs and adjustments, the doctor walked in with a mischievous smile. ‘I see you’ve met our little thermostat trickster,’ she said. The old man laughed heartily as he realized that it was just the hospital’s quirky way of keeping things cozy—even if it did make everyone else in the waiting room wonder why they were sweating.’

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached Capitol Family Medicine, he heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old doctor diligently tuning his guitar between patients. ‘I thought you were taking care of sick people here,’ whispered the driver. The doc grinned, strummed a chord, and replied, ‘Well, music keeps them calm while I’m fixing what really ails ’em.’
