I have been going to Dr. Parikh for years now, and I am a female. I have NEVER witnessed or been on the receiving end of him rushing me or being condescending towards me. I also have my girlfriends that go to him too and we LOVE going there, he is kind, takes his time and is very concerned about his patients. I was just looking up his number, which I always forget, when i saw this review and had to let people know that as far as myself and my friends go, Dr. Parikh is great. and he does not rush into things nor does he rush you. If you need a good pain management Dr. he is one of the best!
