    Dr. Parikh is wonderful. She radiates calmness, experience, compassion, and confidence. I feel very seen and heard by her and whenever I'm in an appointment with her these qualities shine through. Her bedside manner feels like a hug, and her explanations are thorough and easy to understand. I'm so grateful to have her as my headache neurologist!

    I appreciate that when I was admitted both times, Dr Parikh took the time to consult for free so that I was getting better care and actually getting the full treatment. I don't appreciate how difficult it is to schedule with her, even in cases like mine where my migraine is completely out of control. I appreciate that she's documented things that I wanted her to document that might give me leverage with other physicians, or help to counter something another physician said that was untrue. She does seem like she cares, but is still kind of distant. It's an interesting dynamic compared to the rest of my team of physicians.

    Dr Parikh is amazing. She is the best neurologist I have ever seen (and I have seen three before her). Also Dr Jacob Sloan was also very nice. He was learning how to do Botox injections and he did a great job. Overall both doctors were very good at injections, and they tried to make them as painless as possible.

    Dr. Parikh was very compassionate and thorough in my initial consultation. I felt so validated in my experience during my visit with Dr. Parikh and she left me feeling very hopeful and reassured. This unfortunately feels like a unique experience when reflecting on the care I received previously from other providers at the initial onset of my headaches and while navigating my headache history early on. My family and I relocated to the Atlanta area, and am just so thankful to have found Dr. Parikh and be established with her. She was also running on time which I know is not always within a provider's control but also seems rare. Overall, my husband and I were very pleased and appreciative of the care received.

    Dr Parikh was very very thorough and went through every migraine treatment I've had and definitely seemed much more knowledgeable than neurologists I've seen in the past. I didn't realize she was a headache specialist and was really happy I was able to get an appointment with her. She definitely seemed like she cared about my wellbeing rather than just trying to get me in and out as fast as possible. She didn't have my full records but still made it work. She also assured me that in the future they wouldn't force me to see an APP rather than a physician like other neurologists have done. The only thing that wasn't exactly perfect was it took a long time for the notes to be in but I suspect it's more so because she's new to Emory and figuring things out
