Soningra Polyclinic

The polyclinic is located in the Helal Building on Dr. Mascarenhas Road in Mazgaon. It’s a busy area, especially since we are right near the H. P. Petrol Pump and next to that Killer Showroom. You can’t really miss the building if you’re driving down the road. I’ve been working out of this spot for a long time. The office is on the B-side of the building. It’s an older structure, so the ceilings are high but the rooms are a bit small. We have several different areas for various checkups. The waiting room fills up pretty quickly in the mornings. I try to keep the windows open to get a breeze, but the street noise from Mazgaon can be a lot sometimes. You hear the cars honking and the people shouting outside all day. It’s just the way it is in this part of town. The furniture we have is functional, mostly wooden chairs and a big heavy desk for the files. We don't have any of those fancy digital screens; we just use paper and pens for most things. It keeps things simple. The floor is old stone that stays relatively cool. Sometimes the neighbors from the showroom next door come in to chat. It’s a busy environment but we’ve gotten used to the pace. We just focus on getting through the list of patients one by one. It’s a lot of standing and talking, but the day goes by fast when you are kept busy.
