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. Parekh provided me with excellent care during my visit. He made sure I was well informed about my foot condition, and thoroughly explained the function of my custom orthotics. I highly recommend Dr. Parekh for his knowledge of orthopedic pathology and outstanding patient care.

Visit was fine, but when I needed additional information on next steps, x-rays, I left voice mails, sent text messages and called many, many times and asked for a return call. NEVER got a response. I booked through a service where I could not even leave a review. AWFUL Customer Service!!. What a waste of my time and money.

I must say, beware of future billing. I was promised that I would not pay more than $300 for insoles. I felt reassured and proceeded with process because my back pain was in need of any and every solution. Once the bill came in the mail, the total balance showed $1,031. There was a list of charges that I NEVER approved of or was even aware of. My previous insoles at another doctors office cost me a total of $75. I am so disappointed as I thought I found a doctor I would continue seeing for future visits. So much for not paying any more than $300...

Doctor seemed knowledgeable but wasn't the best experience. He had average bedside manner and seemed to care. The staff was very nice in his office but the appointment seemed rush and the majority of time was spent on the Doc trying to sell me products that I can't afford that insurance really didn't cover. I would have liked to have those but I simply can't. I am going to have to do the best I can without right now. I understand that all insurance stinks so they have to peddle supplementary items but it was just hard and made things a little uncomfortable.
