When Drs. Shashi and Anitha Dhar decided they wanted to move Dhar Family Medicine & Audiology out of a leased space and into their first standalone building, they knew exactly who to call. 

The Dhars began working with Dow Smith Company many years ago, building two get-well clinics and Dr. Anitha Dhar’s main office. But several years ago, Shashi— who is an audiologist— and Anitha— who is a primary care physician—started thinking about purchasing their own commercial property. There were a few things they had to have: a building that put their patients’ needs first, a unique design, room to grow, and a location less than a mile from their current office.

The Dhars found a 29,000-square-foot piece of property on Rock Springs Road, which is less than a mile from their current facility, just around the corner from StoneCrest Medical Center and easily accessible from I-24. The final product is a 5,000-square-foot building (nearly twice the size of their current office) that is custom built to their current needs and future growth. The building features several façade materials and a unique tower roof over the nurses’ station that allows natural light in. It also includes a vestibule, waiting room, exam rooms, treatment rooms, business administrative rooms and an area for medical supplies. Dr. Shashi Dhar also has an audiology room designed just for his patients. The parking lot features 23 parking spaces.

It’s been fantastic from the get-go. They are so organized and so quick to respond. They kept us informed every step of the way. I have nothing but praise for them. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
