Started with one chair above a medical shop. Still the same idea.

Dr. Sushree Mohanty opened Shree Dental Clinic in March 2011, in a single room on the first floor of a building on Link Road. There was one chair, one assistant, and a lot of evenings spent waiting for patients.

Word got around slowly. Families from Badambadi, Tulsipur and Cantonment Road started coming back with their parents, then their children. By 2016 there were enough root canal cases that Dr. Abhijit Pattnaik joined, and in 2019 we moved downstairs to the bigger ground floor space we use now. No more stairs for older patients, which was the main reason for the move.

We are still a small clinic, on purpose. Two dentists, two chairs, four staff. It means we usually run on time, and when we say the doctor will see you, it is actually the doctor.

A few things we do not compromise on:

• Every instrument is cleaned, pouched and autoclaved after each patient. You can watch the pouch being opened.
• Gloves, masks, suction tips and tumblers are single use.
• You get the treatment cost in writing before anything starts.
• If a case needs a specialist we do not have, we will refer you rather than attempt it.
