Jul 10, 2020
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. ?? ??????
