Patel Clinic

Patel Clinic is located right on the Soni Falia Main Road here in Mandvi. It is a very local spot and most people who live in the neighborhood have walked past our door at least once. The clinic is not very large, but we have enough space for what we need to do. Mandvi is a place where everyone seems to know everyone else, and our clinic fits right into that. We open up early in the morning because that is when people usually start their day. The main road can be quite narrow and busy with scooters and people walking to the market. Inside, we have a simple waiting area with some benches. It is often filled with familiar faces. We don't have a lot of fancy equipment or high-tech screens. It is just a regular clinic where we sit and talk to people about what is bothering them. Sometimes it gets a bit hot in the afternoons, so we keep the windows open to catch a breeze from the street. The staff here is just a couple of us who have lived in Mandvi for most of our lives. We enjoy being part of the Soni Falia community. There is no corporate feeling here at all. We just write down what people tell us and try to be helpful in our own way. Most days are steady, and we close up once the sun goes down. It’s just a small, honest place on a busy street.
