Hear From Our Patients

Very understanding and professional. Explained the issue so I could understand it.

Review for: Erik C. Johnson, MD

Dr. Parikh has the best bedside presence in the whole building. His professionalism, genuine care, and support are shown openly to his patients. He gives you his time to ask questions and voice your concerns with no signs of impatience.

Review for: Tejas N. Parikh, MD

My experience was good. He seemed to really know what was going and what to do. He really listened to me as we discussed my issues and I did not seem in a rush to get me out. He explained things in a way I could understand. I was very impressed with him.

Review for: Tejas N. Parikh, MD

Dr. Zlotnicki took the time to explain my problem and the actions needed to provide relief of symptoms, including short and long-term management. He listened to my questions and concerns and addressed them. I left feeling confident in the treatment plan.

Review for: Jason P. Zlotnicki, MD

Dr. Zlotnicki gave me exactly what I had hoped for: an injection in my swollen knee and leg. I already feel better than I did going in. I was very pleased with everyone.
