Dr D M Patel/Shraddha Hospital & Iccu

You can find us on the first floor of the A P Market, which is located on the Udhana Main Road in Surat. It’s a very busy part of Udhna, and the market is always buzzing with people buying and selling stuff. Because we have the hospital and ICCU here, things can be a bit more serious than your average shop in the market. We have a fair amount of space, but it still feels full because of all the equipment and beds we need. Working on the first floor means we are a little bit removed from the direct chaos of the street, but you can still hear the vendors down below if the windows are open. We’ve been in Surat for a long time and the A P Market is a landmark for most people around here. The clinic doesn't have any expensive art on the walls or leather sofas. It’s all very functional, with white walls and floors that get mopped several times a day. We spend a lot of time on our feet, moving between the ICCU and the front desk. People come to us from all over Udhna when they have something going on that needs more than just a quick look. It is a lot of responsibility, but we just take it one patient at a time. It’s a hard-working environment in a hard-working city.
