Sanjay R. Parikh, MD

When our son was born, my wife and I were sent to the Children's Hospital at Montefiore in the Bronx specifically to meet Dr. Parikh. Our son was born with an extremely complex syndrome that affected multiple systems in his body. Dr. Parikh immediately made us feel comfortable (as comfortable as we could be given our situation) by being so down to earth and compassionate. He performed multiple surgeries on our son including a tracheostomy, corrective surgery for bilateral choanal atresia, insertion of PE tubes, Partial tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, and eventual removal of his trach. Of all the surgeries, the choanal atresia repair stands out in my mind the most because it is such a difficult procedure with a very small success rate. There are very many stories of repeat surgery up to 12 times or more for the desired outcome. Dr. Parikh did it in one try. Also, removing my son's trach was nobody else's concern in the hospital because that was a quality of life issue rather than a health issue and, at that point, it didn't take precedence over everything else that was going on. Dr. Parikh, however, understood the quality of life issue, and was willing to push our son, within reason, to overcome this obstacle. It worked and we are and always will be eternally grateful for meeting him. He is immeasurably skilled, compassionate, and humble. Dr. Parikh, if you ever read this, just know that our son is doing great thanks in large part to you. He will grow up knowing your name and knowing what you did for him, and for us. Best of luck to you with your relocation and your new position.

When our 17 month old daughter was airlifted from Bellingham to Children's Hospital we were beside ourselves with fear. Our little Ella was diagnosed with a very large retropharyngeal abscess. Dr. Parikh was our daughters surgeon and he was absolutely amazing. He was very personable and made sure that we as parents were taken care of as well as our daughter. He listened to our concerns and when we thought that her condition looked worse he didn't hesitate to take her treatment to the next level. He even called our room on his day off to check on her! He performed a total of 3 surgeries on our little Ella and after 11 days at Children's we were able to bring her home where she has fully recovered. We can never say thank you enough to Dr. Parikh!

Dr.Parikhn have operated my grandchild with a fantastic result. My daughter received excellent information both before and after surgery. Our grandchild can for the first time in her six years of life breath without apnéa problems at night. Excellent surgeon he gets the highest recommendation!

We met DR. Parikh at the Montefiore childrens hospital in NY. He saved our son's Brandon's life. He was the only Doctor that was able to determine what my son had. I remember our first visit my son was only 6 weeks old and he said you guys are doing an amazing job because in reality this baby could of not survived this long. That was the day he began to save my son's life. My son's condition was complicated, but with Dr. Parikh's expertise he was able to perform surgery on my baby. I am proud to say Brandon will be 2 this July. Unfortunately he left our hospital to join the staff in this hospital. Our loss is your gain. Dr. Parikh is a great doctor. I trust him so much that if my son Brandon requires any further surgeries, I would fly to Seattle to see Dr. Parikh.

Dr. Parikh is amazing! He is an extremely skilled and experienced surgeon as well as a kind and friendly man. He offered us hope and reassurance when our son Rhys was diagnosed with a rare and dangerous condition. The level of Dr. Parikh's knowledge and experience with such a rare condition was impressive and comforting. He obviously cares very much about his patients and the family of his patients, making himself 100% accessible throughout our son's treatment before and after surgery. Rhys' surgery was a complete success and we are looking forward to our follow up appointments with Dr. Parikh over the coming year.
