Dr. Ravichandran Clinic

Down in Madukkarai, Coimbatore, Dr. Ravichandran Clinic is a familiar sight for anyone living in this area. It is a simple place sitting on a quiet street. We do not have a big, glowing sign or anything flashy to show off. The doctor has his consultation room, and then there is the waiting area for everyone else. The ceiling fans are always spinning because it gets very warm here in Coimbatore. We have a few windows that stay open to let some air move through the room. The floor is tiled and I sweep it several times a day. We get a lot of locals who just walk over from their houses when they need something. It has a real community feel to it. People often know each other and spend time chatting while they wait for their turn. Sometimes a stray dog wanders near the entrance and we have to encourage it to move along. My day is spent checking people in and making sure the doctor has what he needs. It is not a fast-paced or corporate environment at all. Things move at a very steady, human speed. We have a small sink in the corner for washing hands and a simple water cooler. The wooden furniture has been here for a long time and is still very sturdy. The address is just Madukkarai, and that is usually enough for anyone in this part of town to find us.
