Very bad attitude with patients. They have a male nurse which take blood pressure and weight etc. while taking my blood pressure my arm moved .. He rigidly said Don’t move … instead of saying he could not get the result and will take again.. and never use the word Please. All Indian except receptionist a maxi can….They hate to treat Muslim patients with dignity and respect. Very bad attitude with patients.

Really unfortunate experience. This doctor's staff didn't attempt to even try to find interpretation for my client who does not speak English. When we left due to this issue, he called me on his personal line and verbally harassed me, screaming at me to "get off my high horse" and saying that I wasn't good at my job for leaving without her being seen by him, even though I tried multiple times to show his staff how they could get interpretation at his affiliated hospital and advocate on the patient's behalf. I had to hang up because I don't tolerate this kind of mistreatment and unprofessionalism from a doctor, . Thankfully I was able to quickly find a new doctor. Stay away!

In march I was scheduled to have an endoscopy and colonoscopy. I arrived at the hospital at my instructed time. I get prepped and ready to go for when the dr arrives. So after waiting about 4 hours and me continuously asking the nurses where the heck the dr is, they told me he forgot he had patients scheduled for colonoscopies!!! And he is on his way now and I had 3 other people ahead of me at the time. So needless to say a 30 min to an hour procedure turned into almost an 8 hour day! Then after I left I get a call from the dr with my results and he said he took a biopsy and said everything else seemed fine besides me having gastritis, I told him it was extremely unprofessional to leave his patients like that with no contact or information on why the wait was so long. He said he was at another hospital for appointments and straight up lied, I have not heard from them about my biopsy results since. In march I was scheduled to have an endoscopy and colonoscopy.

My first appointment was supposed to be with Dr. Parekh, and I thought that was who I met with in the office, but I discovered it wasn't when I met the actual Dr. Parekh at my colonoscopy procedure. A little concerning that the doctor performing the procedure had skipped out on my first appointment to get my medical history. I go for my follow-up that is SUPPOSED TO BE WITH HIM and again it's some guy with no name tag, doesn't give me a name, and gives me a terrible summary of my procedure and what I should do. I've had diverticulitis and he was insisting I don't have it or any sacs that could get infected, then backtracked and said maybe there were one or two, then stated again that I didn't have it. Prescribed a medication to slow diarrhea even though I've been hospitalized multiple times with intestinal infections and diverticulitis amd have been explicitly advised not to take any medications like this. I expressed this concern and he prescribed the medication anyway... using Dr. Parekh's prescription pad. Twice. I've received two medications from this random person using the actual doctor's RX pad. These are some shady people. Don't go here if you value your time and professionalism. If I got a tube shoved up my behind the least the treating doctor could do is show up to my appointments.

I found this Dr by searching near my home and I'm so glad I did.

If you want to waste your time and money, go here. They will run every single test on you to make money and they still can not diagnose.

Referred for Colonoscopy. Excellent experience in the pre-procedure visits as well as during the visit to the hospital and and subsequent follow-ups. Only downside was the long wait in the clinic/office due to multiple walk-ins by old patients. The front office needs to schedule these better. But I can live with this since it indicated trust by his past patients as well as his intent to treat them if they had urgent needs...In similar situations, I may as well need to do the same sometime!

My diabetic husband was scheduled to have a colonoscopy at Dr Parekh's office on 1/6/18. His blood sugar was very low after the prep from the previous night and I advised the nurse. She went to the front desk and was told they do not have a meter to check glucose there. The anesthesiologist said he would not recommend he have this procedure here because they are not equipped to handle a diabetic emergency. Office manager told me I should have brought my own monitor. Unsafe conditions!

He seems more interested in keeping you waiting in the office and then blaming you for any of your complaints instead of curing you.

This doctor is very unprofessional. He is always late to both his office and procedures. He reschedules his appointments more than he changes his socks. The nurses are sooo rude and never return calls. The wait time is over 2-3 hours long. He always wakes up late. The front desk is very nice and friendly however. But the rest of the staff, complete ignorance. If you have good insurance, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.This doctor ain't no hero. He's a big ZERO!!!

I was kept waiting in outer office 50 min on two occasions. Then, they ushered me into another waiting area where they took my bp and weight. Then, got into exam room. By now, it was 1-1/4 hrs both times. I have a life, too, and cannot spend so much time waiting for a doctor. I got another referral and have officially changed gastroenterologists. Just wasn't worth the extra stress.

Scam artist when it comes to billing. Me and my wife both had EGD and colonoscopy by Dr. Parekh. It was agreed and well understood that he will charge $350 cash for his services and $800 to the hospital for utilizing there Facility. We paid $350 to Dr. Parekh and $800 to the hospital for me and same amount to both for my wife. Guess what, started getting numerous bills from Dr. Parekh and the hospital after 2 months of the procedure. Be careful amount is not small, it is over $1500. CHEATER

Do not go to this doc. He is not professional and does not care about patient condition. He is just there to make money.

DR IS A TRUE GENTLEMAN. NO DOUBTS ABOUT HIS SKILLS. FOUND HIM EXACTLY WHAT I HAD HEARD ABOUT HIM. MY SYMPTOMS RESOLVED IN 2 VISITS.TALKED WITH OTHER PT'S IN THE LOBBY. THEY WERE ALL IMPRESSED BY HIM. GOD BLESS THE DR.

One word---- NIGHTMARE---- Don't even bother with this guy. He has no value for TIME. There were 7 patients in waiting room and all said the same thing. Two to three hours waiting after your confirm appointment time. Worst experience with staff and even more worse with doctor him self.
