Dr Sunita Patel Clinic

The clinic is located over at Plot No. 3, which is the Varad building on 12th Road. This part of the New Idian Zuhu Scheme in Khar is usually a bit quieter than the main roads, which we like. Dr Sunita Patel has been working out of this space for a bit, and it has a very lived-in feel to it. The entrance can be a little tricky to spot if you aren't looking closely at the gate numbers, but once you are inside, it’s pretty straightforward. We have a small desk where we keep the appointment book, and it usually has a cup of pens that half-work. The floor tiles are a little worn down in the spots where people stand the most. We try to keep the windows closed to keep the noise of the construction nearby out, but some of it still gets through. It isn't a corporate office with fancy computers everywhere; we still use a lot of handwritten notes. The chairs in the waiting room are made of plastic and they are easy to wipe down at the end of the day. Sometimes the delivery guy gets lost looking for Varad on 12th Road, so we have to go out to the street to wave him down. It’s just a simple medical office where things happen at their own pace. We drink a lot of chai between patients and talk about the weather or the traffic in Khar. It’s enough.
