Dr. Daruwallas Poly Clinic

This poly clinic is on the ground floor of the Dhana Patel Building, at number 232. We are very close to Bhatia Hospital, so we get a lot of people who are in the area for medical reasons anyway. Being on the ground floor is great because it’s easy for everyone to get inside without worrying about stairs or elevators. The building itself is quite old and has that typical Mumbai feel to it. Inside the clinic, it’s a bit of a mix of different doctors who come in at different times. We have a small reception area where the files are stacked up in big piles. It’s a bit of a maze sometimes trying to find a specific record from three years ago, but we usually manage to find what we need. The lighting is a bit yellow and the floor tiles have some cracks here and there, but it’s a clean space where we do our work. We see all sorts of patients, from little kids with fevers to older folks who just need their blood pressure checked. There’s always someone coming or going. The noise from the street filters in, but we’ve gotten used to it over the years. We don't have any big mission statements on the walls. We just show up, open the doors, and help whoever walks in. It’s a busy, cramped, honest little clinic. We just do our best to help everyone out.
