The Best Dentist!
« on: May 19, 2004, 06:20:15 pm »
Took my son to the dentist for the first time.  Took a book with me thinking this is really going to suck, I hate waiting around.  Would you believe the waiting room had its own arcade?  A small room with 10 machines in it!  They were all very beat, but working.  Ms. Pac, Centipede, Donkey Kong, Mario Bros.  It was very cool.  Didn't mind at all waiting today!

Your profile is empty.

Where are you from, and what is the name of the dentist?

My father-in-law's brother is a dentist.  His office is set up with video games (haven't been there/talked to him lately) as well.  

Where are you from?

*edit*
Uncle-in-law (is that right?) is in Wisconsin.

You’re always in control of your behavior. Sometimes you just control yourself
in ways that you later wish you hadn’t

If my dentist had an arcade, my teeth wouldn't be rotting out as we speak.  If he's in the NYC/western Nassau County area throw me a name.

Boy if my dentist had some video games I'd be getting some free dental work for sure. :)

I'm from Philadelphia. This was a pediatric dentist.  

Both kids and parents were playing.  I'm definitely making sure I get to take my son back for the next visit!

My (otherwise awful) dentist when I was young had space duel cabinet set to free play that they ended up replacing with some sort of multi-game sega genesis kiosk thingy later.
