Dr Nita A Thakre

The clinic is tucked away in Swastik Society, right across from Samved Hospital. Most people know the Stadium Circle area in Navrangpura, so finding us isn't usually too hard, though the parking can be a bit of a headache during peak hours. I’ve been working here at C/113 for quite a while now. It’s a quiet spot inside the society once you step off the main road. The waiting room isn’t huge, just some chairs and old magazines that probably need replacing soon. We start our day early, making sure everything is wiped down and the lights are on before the first person knocks. It's mostly locals from the society and nearby blocks who come in. Sometimes the fan in the corner makes a clicking sound when it’s on high, but we’ve gotten used to it. The walls are a simple off-white, nothing fancy or decorative. We just focus on seeing whoever walks through the door and getting through the daily list. It feels like a small community here. You see the same faces walking their dogs or going to the market while we're setting up. Navrangpura has changed a lot over the years with new shops popping up, but this corner stays pretty much the same. It’s a practical space. We don't have a big reception team, just a couple of us handling the phones and the files. It works for what we need to do every day.
