The Team


Sandy
Co-Founder
Sandy (with Pallav, the wife and husband team behind the Clinic), always had a dream to have a clinic where top-quality medical care and conversations could be delivered in a comfortable and relaxed manner. They envisioned it being timely, hassle-free, with nice ambience, and in a convenient setting. Riverside location on Newnham Road provided them that ideal location.
Entrepreneurs at 50, they are most excited and proud to bring a fresh choice to the people of Cambridge and surrounding areas. Their ambition is to keep it all rather plain and simple: good care when you need it, by experienced clinicians, in a manner that is not rushed.
Sandy is the Practice Manager with background in Economics and a Post Graduate Diploma in Business Management, and Pallav is a Consultant in Emergency Medicine in the NHS. Together with a strong team of clinicians they feel the Clinic can address most issues patients face and are often let down due to resource crunch in NHS.
