We have moved!
That's right! Dr Dhananjay and Dr Sunita Pawar have opened the purpose-built clinic right next door. After multiple hurdles and roadblocks to getting approval, construction has finally commenced.
We are establishing a one-stop clinic housing multiple professions, a pathology with its dedicated waiting room, and a chemist attached to the building, neurologist, physiotherapist, podiatrist, psychologist, dietician, speech pathologist, and therapist to name a few.
