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.

Not very happy today. My son who has asthma is showing all signs of the flu. Dr won’t administer a flu test bc he won’t give kids tamiflu. So he is just telling me my son has a virus. Since we left the dr’s office his cough is worse and sounds more asthmatic. So I’ll be at urgent care tomorrow. I’ll be finding my children a new dr.

I switched to Dr. Parikh after having a negative experience with another doctor. I'm a first time mom with an almost 3 month old. Dr. Parikh is a wonderful pediatrician and I am very happy that we were able to find him. He is very kind and takes his time. He addressed all of my concerns and questions and made me feel at ease over the worries I had with my son. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone! Also, his staff is professional and accommodating.

I absolutely love Dr. Parikh! He takes the time to listen to any concerns and doesn't rush through things. He's great with my 7 year old ausitic son. He has been his doctor since birth and I would never think of switching to anyone else. Dr. Parikh is the best!
