Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Parikh, J is an awesome doctor. I had so much anxiety (afraid to go through w/the surgery. I couldn’t have made it through my whole surgery process & recovery without his reassurance, confidence & dedication. He’s very proficient. He’s realistic. Not to mention his receptionist SONIA she’s very professional, warm & kindhearted. She’s very proficient as well. She does her job well. ?? ??????

I appreciate a surgeon who doesn't recommend surgery! My gall bladder may have an issue, but it's wasn't in range for an effective surgical option.

Visited on October 2, 2019. Dr. Parkin was very kind and patient. He explained my condition and how to manage without surgery. Staff was very friendly and pleasant as well. Waiting area was comfortable and not over crowded.

I highly recommend Dr. Parikh. His level of expertise, compassion, and care are excellent. I couldn’t ask for a better doctor during my illness. He made the process easier. From my initial hospital stay to surgery he explained everything and made sure every concern was addressed. I will forever be grateful for his care. He has a wonderful office and staff too.

I just had emergency gallbladder surgery with Dr. Parikh, and he was excellent! He explained what he would be doing, and even drew a sketch for me! He answered all of my questions after the surgery, and at my follow up visit, he answered and explained even more of what went on, and what I was to expect in the days and weeks ahead. I never felt rushed, or that I was asking too much. Fantastic surgeon and bedside manner!
