Excellent professional service
Dr Parikh is fantastic. Our medical journey started March 2020. She, and staff on Yawkey 7e are great. With luck my cancer will not come back, if it should, or if i know someone that needs treatment MGH is the place to go
Excellent care. Love, love, love this provider.
We got excellent service and care! Thank you very much
The provider's notes for this visit are confusing. In at least one spot (and likely more) they say I have colon cancer, but the point of this visit was to review pathology results following surgery to remove the cancer. The conclusion was that I do not currently have any known cancer.
I have received nothing but the best care across during all appointments since December from initial assessments to diagnosis to treatment plans.
Very professional, and personable, knowledgeable
very easy to talk to
Dr. Parikh is very professional, friendly, and very caring. We would recommend her to our family and friends, and we are very fortunate to have her care for me.
Yes, my experience was very good and everything went very well. [redacted]
