About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while Dr. Chesley was examining an anxious patient, her young daughter giggled and pointed towards the ceiling. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘is that a bat?’ The doctor looked up and saw nothing but noticed something odd: the dental chair seemed to move ever so slightly when no one else was around. As it turned out, the movement was caused by a mischievous squirrel building its nest in the ceiling above the waiting room. Every time someone sat down in the old chair, the squirrel would scurry around, making it seem like the chair was alive! Eventually, Dr. Chesley installed a bird feeder outside, and the noisy tenant moved on to greener—and less dental—pastures.
2. In the middle of a routine cleaning session, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar coming from behind the reception desk. A soft humming sound, like a distant hum of bees, seemed to follow every patient who entered the room. Curious, the delivery driver approached and discovered an old radio hidden under some papers. It was playing a children's lullaby on repeat—obviously someone’s forgotten toy. The staff decided it added character to their waiting area and kept it as is, with a sign reading ‘Welcome to Chesley Family Dental—where even our appliances are friendly!’
3. While waiting for her appointment, a neighbor noticed that the receptionist kept humming the same tune over and over again. Curious, she asked the receptionist what song she was singing. Turns out it was an old nursery rhyme from her childhood. They ended up chatting for a while, bonding over shared memories of Chesley’s quirky dentist dad who always played the same lullabies during check-ups. The neighbor left with a warm feeling, thinking maybe dental visits weren’t so bad after all.
4. While waiting for her cleaning, a woman noticed an odd whirring sound coming from behind the reception desk. Everyone else seemed oblivious, but she couldn't shake the feeling it wasn't just the air conditioning. Finally, the hygienist called out, ‘Ma’am? Everything okay?’ She turned around and saw only smiling faces—until she realized the noise was actually the office printer humming away in the corner. Relieved, she laughed and said, ‘Guess I’m more sensitive than everyone else!’
