Dr. Parekh takes the time to listen carefully and explain clearly. He treats the whole patient - not just a set of lab numbers or pair of kidneys. I always feel like a respected partner in my health care with him. He is always "present" in the best sense of the word, whether the visit is in person or via telehealth. He's very knowledgeable and always sees the big picture. 

I first met Dr. Parekh while being hospitalized due to hypokalemia. At this time I ddn't know I had this condition of having constant low potassium until I recently went back to 10 yearsresearching my lab works from previous doctors. In a sense it was a blessing to have beenhospitalized, if not I would have never met Dr. Parekh. He treated me for ten days until he found a way to control my low potassium levels. Dr. Parekh has also discovered the reason i have this condition thru genetic testing.

Dr. Parekh and Josette Dudoit, his APRN, both provided caring, compassionate, and in-depth explanations and care for me. I was visiting Hawaii and sought their help during my two-month stay. They were efficient, answered all of my questions, and were quick to respond to my needs. They provided outstanding patient services. I recommend them highly.

Dr. Parekh is a patient, caring physician. He listens to what I'm saying, and I have complete trust in him. He explains my conditions well and answers any questions or concerns that I have. 

Dr Parekh is very professional and very knowledgeable. Very easy to talk to and explains things in laymen’s terms. Feel very fortunate to have found Dr. Parekh and be under his watchful eyes. 

Very knowledgeable and great at explaining what should and should not be done and why. He is patient and personable and stays in touch with his patients personally, rather than just through his staff.
