Dr. Balachandra Gaikwad, Station Road, Nandurbar

Dr. Balachandra Gaikwad has his practice right at Gandhi Chowk on Station Road in Nandurbar. Gandhi Chowk is one of those places where there is always something going on, so there is plenty of life right outside our doorstep. Being on Station Road means we see a lot of people passing through, not just locals but folks coming in from the surrounding villages too. The clinic is a basic setup, nothing too modern, just a reliable place for people to come when they aren't feeling well. We’ve been here long enough that the paint on the door frame is a bit worn from all the hands touching it. Inside, it’s a typical doctor's office with a desk, some chairs, and the usual medical supplies tucked away in cabinets. We don't have a big marketing team or anything like that; people just know we are here because they see the sign when they go to the market or the station. It gets a bit dusty being so close to the road, so we are always wiping things down. The routine is the same most days—opening up early, seeing the first batch of patients, and staying until the work is done. It’s a busy life, but being part of the community at Gandhi Chowk is something we have grown quite fond of over the years.
