My very first visit with Dr Parikh. I liked her; however, she had her fellow handle most of the visit and she came in at the end. I would have preferred my first visit be with Dr Parikh. But the fellow was very good and knowledgeable.

I started with cancer and after my treatments for 6 weeks, I no longer had cancer. I had follow up blood draws & check ups every 3 months I've just graduated to visits & tests every 6 months. All my questions have been answered and I'm quite pleased with my results

Dr Parikh is the perfect combination of super smart and very empathetic (but not cloying). She is very patient with me and straight forward, I really appreciate that because it helps me stay focused.
