About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early morning fog of a typical Tuesday, a delivery driver pulled up to DaVita Dialysis with something unusual in hand—a live parrot. The clinic staff exchanged puzzled glances as the bird squawked and flapped its wings, clearly agitated. As it turned out, the parrot was a regular visitor from next door, always making noise when his owner forgot to close the window. Seeing the commotion, one nurse offered him some water, and soon everyone was laughing at the sight of a dazed bird sipping from a plastic cup. By lunchtime, the parrot had become an unofficial mascot for DaVita Dialysis.

2. In the dimly lit hallway of DaVita Dialysis, a small child pointed and whispered to their parent, ‘Mommy, why do those machines look like they’re dancing?’ The parent smiled and replied softly, ‘Honey, those aren’t dancing—they’re just doing their special job to help people feel better.’ As they walked away, an elderly patient chuckled from behind his newspaper, muttering, ‘Yup, and I betcha that kid’ll never forget his first visit to DaVita!’

3. In the humdrum routine of weekday afternoons, an elderly gentleman began noticing something peculiar on the ceiling of DaVita Dialysis. Every time he visited for treatment, a tiny red light would blink in sync with his heartbeat. One day, while staring up at the mysterious light, he struck up a conversation with another patient who happened to be an electrical engineer. Together they discovered that it was just a faulty sensor calibrating against his pulse—a hilarious mix-up that left both men laughing. From then on, every visit became a little less boring and a lot more entertaining.

4. In the quiet afternoon shadows of DaVita Dialysis, a nurse overheard a patient muttering under her breath: ‘I thought I signed up for a spa, not a spa of pain.’ As she walked out, an orderly chuckled and said, ‘Welcome back to reality, ma’am. Next time, maybe try our relaxation CDs!’
