8 and a half years ago, we opened our pediatric clinic with a promise to heal, to help, to teach, and to support.
I wasn’t sure if I could pull it off, but my wife’s words stayed with me: “The only reason I’m investing is because I know you, I know the effect you have on people. You will do well… we will do well.”
The journey began with just a handful of patients. My parents, in-laws, and even the husband of our office manager, Sangeeta, would call daily to ask, “How many patients came today?”
From the very beginning, our focus was not on every dollar earned, but on elevating the patient experience. We worked as a family, no ego, no pressure, just guidance and science behind every recommendation.
As the practice grew, so did the challenges. Bigger operations brought bigger anxieties. In private practice, there isn’t much room for pause, but I eventually learned the importance of it. I sought help, leaned on support, began exercising, and found balance. That journey toward pause has shaped me ever since. My morning videos of chai are exactly for that reason.
Teaching added another dimension to this path. Mentoring hundreds of kids over the years has been one of my greatest joys and in guiding them, I’ve discovered more about myself.
Our staff has been the heartbeat of this place. With little turnover in nearly a decade, we’ve truly become a family, standing by one another through fire and rain. The work we do, the lives we see, always keeps us grounded.
And then there’s you our patients and families. You have been our true marketing team. Your trust and your word of mouth have carried us forward. We may still be a small clinic, but looking back, we see the big difference we’ve been able to make in so many lives.
For that, we are deeply grateful!
