Dr Sangeet Gawhale Clinic

Up on the third floor of Laud Mansion, things feel a little bit removed from the noise of the street, but you can still hear the trains if you listen closely. Being right near the Charni Road railway station means there is a constant flow of people moving past us every single day. We are just next to Saifee Hospital, which is a big landmark everyone knows, so finding our entrance on Maharshi Karve Road isn't usually a problem for new visitors. The building has been here for a long time. It has that old Mumbai feel to it, with the wide stairs and the way the light comes in through the windows in the afternoon. We spend most of our time here just going through the daily list of people who need to see Dr Sangeet Gawhale. It’s a busy spot, especially during the rush hours when the station across the road is packed. We don’t have any fancy elevator music or a giant lobby. It’s a practical clinic where we focus on the work at hand. Sometimes it gets a bit cramped when a few families arrive at the same time, but we manage. Most of our patients have been coming to us for years, so they know the drill. They know the third-floor walk or which lift to take. It’s a no-nonsense kind of place, right in the heart of the Charni Road area, serving the local community.
