This was my first visit, it was an emergency situation-I’ve been in constant excruciating pain and Dr. Parikh and his staff were kind, caring and efficient. I have a treatment plan starting within the next business day and am hopeful there will be relief. Above all, I am grateful Dr. Parikh listened to what I was going through and was focused on an immediate plan to find the cause.
