A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the quiet town of Maplewood, there’s an old dental clinic called Ortisi & Abate Family Dentistry. One day, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: every time he dropped off supplies, the clock on their reception desk seemed to tick just a little slower than usual. Finally, after weeks of observing, the delivery driver dared ask one of the dentists what was going on. With a twinkle in his eye, the doctor replied, ‘Ah, that’s our family secret—we’ve installed a time machine for our patients’ comfort!’ The next morning, everyone in Maplewood woke up with perfect teeth and ten minutes extra sleep.
2. In the early morning fog of downtown Springfield, a delivery driver pulled up to Ortisi & Abate Family Dentistry with a box full of gleaming crowns. As he unlocked the door, he noticed something peculiar: the receptionist's chair was spinning slowly on its own. Curious, he approached and saw that the receptionist’s desk had a note: ‘Please leave crowns here—Dr. Ortisi is in surgery.’ Just then, an old man walked out from behind the counter, smiling warmly. ‘Morning,’ he said. ‘Did you enjoy our little experiment? We’ve been testing new dental chairs.’ The delivery driver laughed nervously, relieved it wasn’t some supernatural occurrence.
3. In the dimly lit parking lot of Ortisi & Abate Family Dentistry, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in one of the empty shopping carts. A small, brightly colored toothbrush seemed out of place among the boxes and bags. Curious, he picked it up—only to discover that every time he used it, his teeth felt cleaner than ever before. Turns out, the toothbrush was magical—it belonged to an old neighbor who swore by its cleaning powers. Soon enough, everyone in town started using it, and guess what? Their teeth shone brighter than ever! Even the delivery driver became so enchanted that he forgot to return it, leaving poor Ortisi scratching his head over the missing item.
4. In the dimly lit parking lot of Ortisi & Abate Family Dentistry, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the door: ‘Please knock three times before entering.’ Curious, he obeyed and found himself ushered into a waiting room filled with vintage posters from forgotten movies. As he settled in, an old radio started playing faintly in the corner, broadcasting some long-forgotten comedy show. The delivery driver couldn’t help but laugh along—until he realized everyone else was laughing too. Turns out it was just his own reflection in the mirror, caught mid-chuckle.
