July 6 officially marked Dr. Mukesh Gandhi’s 20th year of practicing medicine in Woodruff. This milestone made Dr. Gandhi take a brief pause from his hectic schedule to reflect on what the past two decades has brought - from starting his practice in a trailer across the street from the old BJ Workman Hospital to his current location on 409 E. Georgia St which offers x-ray, ultrasound, and a wide array of on-site services.
Dr. Gandhi was born in Nairobi, Africa and grew up in India where he went to BJ Medical College. He moved to America for his residency.
Way back in April of 1990 he came close to not even coming to Woodruff. While finishing his residency at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, he visited the Upstate to interview for a medical center in Greenville. His plan was to practice in the Upstate in order to be close to his wife Minaxi’s parents, who live in Charlotte.
