Ahuja Clinic

Our clinic is tucked away at B-19/807 in the Civil Lines area. It’s a fairly quiet street compared to the main markets, which is nice for the people coming in. The building has been here for quite some time, and you can tell by the way the doors creak a little. We have a small porch at the front where people sometimes stand to talk before coming inside. The layout is simple—a reception area and then a couple of rooms for the checkups. We don't have a lot of flashy signs outside, just the one with our name on it. Most of our patients are families who have lived in Civil Line for decades. They come to us because they know where we are and they’re comfortable with the space. We spend a lot of time updating records by hand and talking to people about how they’ve been feeling. It’s not the kind of place where everything is automated. We still use old clipboards and filing drawers. The waiting room has some magazines that are a few months old, and the fans on the ceiling hum constantly during the summer. It’s a predictable environment, and we like it that way. We just aim to get through the day, making sure everyone who came in got the attention they needed before we close the gate for the night. Sometimes the neighborhood dogs sit out by the gate waiting for scraps from our lunch when we are done.
