Patient Experience
I'd been to three other doctors with this nagging abdominal pain, everyone said it was just stress. Dr. Parekh was the first one who actually sat and listened to my whole history, even the bits I thought were irrelevant. He ordered a specific scan the others hadn't, and it turned out to be a rare intestinal issue. He explained it to me with a diagram on his notepaddidn't rush, even though I know he's busy. Finding the real problem after months of worry was a massive relief.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous about any kind of surgery, even a minor one. Dr. Parekh walked me through the whole thing in simple terms, told me exactly what to expect. The procedure itself was over in what felt like minutes. The follow-up was straightforward, no complications. Sometimes simple things done right are what you need most.
The hospital itself is huge and can feel a bit overwhelming. I got lost trying to find the billing desk after my appointment. One of the nurses from Dr. Parekh's floor saw me looking confused and actually walked me all the way there. It's a small thing, but that kind of help when you're not feeling your best really sticks with you. The whole team there seems to be on the same page.
What I remember most is how he talked to my elderly mother. She was scared and kept asking the same questions. Dr. Parekh never showed a hint of impatience. He held her hand, looked her right in the eye, and repeated the answers calmly every single time. He treated her like a person, not just a patient. That meant more to our family than any medicine.
