Chandresh Parekh Squint Clinic

To find us, you have to go to Shastri Hall on Tardeo Road, which is right across from Bhaji Galli. We are on the first floor, located directly above the Bank of Maharashtra. It’s a very specific spot in the Grant Road and Nanachowk area, and the stairs up can be a bit steep if you aren't expecting it. Being near Bhaji Galli means there’s always the smell of fresh vegetables and the sound of vendors calling out to customers right outside. The clinic itself is focused on helping people with squint issues, so we have various charts on the walls and some specialized equipment for testing eyes. It’s a bit of an older building, so it has that classic Mumbai feel with high ceilings and heavy doors. We see a lot of kids here, so sometimes there are toys scattered around the waiting area or the sound of a child crying because they’re nervous about their eyes. The staff spends their time adjusting the machines and talking to parents about the exercises they need to do at home. It’s a small, dedicated space where we mostly just focus on this one specific area of eye health. Grant Road is always buzzing, and Tardeo Road is one of those places that never really goes quiet. We’ve gotten used to the constant hum of the city while we work. It’s just our little corner on the first floor where we do our best to help people.
