Hi O., I live in Bradenton too. Welcome. My 6 year old son has had 5 Pediatricians and between changing jobs which means changing insurance I have always returned to Dr. Parikh. The reason why I like him is because he is very personable. As a mom I feel free to ask him many questions, not just a list of 1 or 2. He sits there and explains things and even bring out the medical books to prove to you what he is trying to explain. In the beginning, as a mom that is, it's hard to tell the doctors all of your concerns because they make you feel like your just panicing because your a "new mom" so you kinda feel belittled. Not with Dr. Parikh. Yes, he's indian so he talks a little fast, but you can feel free to say what I did in the beginning "Sorry, can you please slow down, this is all new to me" I know completely understand him. Best of all, He will call you personally when you have a concern or just a question in the middle of the night. He's awsome. his number is ###-###-#### and he's in Palmetto, right after the Manatee Memorial Bridge on 14th Street. His address is 218 - 9th Stret Drive West in Bradenton. He always has appointments right away, I never had to wait more than 1 day for an appointment. I hope your experience with him will be as good as mine.
Oh, I forgot to mention that he must train his staff real good when they all treat everyone nice. Never with an attitude.
Sincerely,
G.
