Patient Reviews
The following are reviews from patients of Dr. Parikh.
“I am so thankful to have Doctor Parikh, as my Spine Specialist, and especially for his concerns and desires to determine the reason I was having such severe pain in my Lower Spine and in my Lower Right Leg that was causing me to loose so much sleep and could not perform everyday activities and do exercises as I desired. He not only found the problem, he remedied it with the proper injections that took effect immediately afterward that I felt so much better in four hours than I have in many months before. I am so appreciative of Doctor Parikh and his staff of specialist and assistants who provided me with such great care and made contact with me to check on my progress to made sure all my needs were taken care of immediately. I am so blessed to have Doctor Parikh for his great support. Sincerely and Thankful.”

If I leave a message, the nurse returns my call. When I leave, I know my next appointment will be. My doctor is really concerned of my health overall, not just the task at hand. I treat him with the highest respect and when I enter his procedure room, he always asks how I am. He always listens to me! And he truly tries to help me with my pain and willingly to try anything to make me more comfortable. The next day, there’s always a follow up call wanting to know how I am! That’s awesome.
