Shatul Parikh, MD

Doesn’t spend much time with me. However, as of today, the surgery was just what I needed, and I feel better every day . He’s a great surgeon.

We were told nine years ago to come back when mom was having thyroid trouble and this was the reason for her visit. Dr. Parikh had the wrong patient file at first and had to leave the room. When he returned he did an ultrasound and said surgery was the only option. Since she is 85 we opted to wait. We wish he had introduced himself and spent a little more time with us. He was so quick leaving the room we were not sure he was finished. Mom was disappointed with the visit. We did appreciate the kind treatment from the staff. A nice staff member came out to hold doors for us since mom was in a wheelchair.

He got us in and out, very informative and eased my mind on my issue.

Dr. Parikh is very personable and a very good surgeon. I appreciate the quick response to my needs. If you’re in need of a skilled ENT surgeon, I highly recommend him. His staff in Atlanta are also are very nice and professional.

Very personable and thorough. I appreciated his input! Thank you .

Wonderful staff, excellent doctor who I believe will help me.

Amazing.

I was disappointed for the first time. I felt like I was rushed in and out. Honestly I felt my concerns were dismissed.

Very pleased with the care I received!!!

Very conveyer belt feel. Never saw the doctor day of prior to surgery. Called night of surgery as blood pressure was 170/115. Was told they didn’t deal with that and to call someone else. Surgery was fine. Service was very lacking.

He is the nicest doctor. Really caring !

Very sweet and informative. Walked the procedure through. Thyroid biopsy. Only complaint was he did not allow numbing meds to take effect before starting the procedure.

So friendly, showed he cared, had passion

Very friendly and professional

I felt very impressed with Dr. Parikh. Not only was he very knowledgeable about my HHT bleeding problem but very honest as to what he will not have to do at this time. He also gave me some new information for maintenance. I in the event my situation becomes more of a concern, I will definitely see him again.

I recently had an extremely disappointing experience at Dr. Parikh's. My appt was scheduled for 8:30 a.m, but I ended up waiting almost an hour in the examination room before seeing the doctor. During this wait, I was assured by the nursing staff that the dr has just arrived to the office and would be arriving shortly. This turned out to be untrue, as I could hear the dr spending an extended period of time with the patient in the next room. When the dr finally did arrive, he barely spent a few minutes with me, making me feel rushed and unheard. The following day I received an email stating I need to schedule a radiology appointment, which was not discussed at all during my time in his office. This level of service is unacceptable and shows a complete lack of respect for patients' time and well-being. I expected a much higher standard of care and professionalism from a doctor in the Piedmont Healthcare network. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend Dr. Parikh based on this experience.

Bedside manners isnt the greatest. Could have been more personable but overall a good experience

Very straight forward and to the point!

Highly recommend 👍

Kind and has impressive success rate

Fast, efficient, professional but friendly, explained everything well.

Dr.Parikh is a very good on his profession. I did not see him for 4 years but still he still they same always smiling and you can fell the welcome voice in him.i love Dr.Parikh having 2 surgeries on him that's how I trust Dr.Parikh.

He's very good but the visit was over before I had a chance to fully absorb diagnostic info. Had questions that I thought of after he left the exam room and I left the office. Was very good but too quick for this boomer!

Great Doctor! He's my person sure!

Fantastic doctor and excellent staff! Dr. Parikh is one of the best doctors I have ever encountered. His assistant Matthew was just as fabulous. Every staff member was so helpful and kind!

He was very good 👍🏾

Good but very quick visit that ended before I even realized it.

Very professional.

Informative and efficient

Very pleasant and knowledgeable. Had a good sense of humor also.

Great listening and communication. Personable.

Was fast and efficient

An outstanding professional is Dr. Parikh. And, his staff is kind and efficient.

You took the the to explain the procedure and answer any questions I had.

Compassionate, clear communicator at the top of his game.

Dr. Parish is energetic, professional, and efficient. I feel confident after my two visits with him and his staff.

The office staff are great, kind and friendly. Dr. Parikh is knowledgeable and approachable. The waiting room is small and needs updating. There were not enough seats for everyone.

Excellent doctor, very knowledgeable and explains information clearly.

I felt very rushed as a new patient and I’m retired from the medical field the worse thing to experience as a patient is to fell like just another number!!!

The staff was very nice and friendly and they got me in and out

Excellent Doctor would recommend him to anyone needing care . Great. Office staff.

Excellent follow-up. He and the staff were efficient during my appointment. I look forward to seeing him for future treatment as needed.

Very knowledgeable about my problem and knows what needed to be done

Dr. Parikh did excellent biopsy that was very quick and not too painful. We didn't spend much time talking though.

He is an excellent Doctor. Would recommend him to every one.

More realistic expectations would be a plus. If I had known the improvement so so little, I probably wouldn't have had the surgery. I know it isn't an exact science, but I was certainly hopeful for more.

Great surgeon but does not take time to answer any questions Always in a hurry

Great demeanor and personality. A very favorable first impression.

I wish more Doctors were like him very nice and understanding

Dr. Parikh was a bit rough, in my opinion, during my procedure. I am a Black woman and we die in healthcare settings all the time and I would have liked for him to take his time and consider all the implications of how he interacted with me. His nurse was amazing! But for example, he did not prep my skin or his hands (wash, sanitize in the room)for the biopsy. I expected there to be discomfort but not frank pain for the procedure. His bedside manner was not gentle, kind or reassuring. These are all things that may have made the procedure more tolerable. On a positive note he was fast.

Dr Parikh talked to me, was knowledgeable about my history, and explained everything to me very clearly. After an examination, I was very comfortable with his recommendation. The medical staff were also very friendly and explained possible procedures to me. Everyone was efficient & on the same page.

Dr. Parikh is very friendly and professional. He explained everything about the procedure and asked if I had any questions as well.

Appointment started late, but he was very friendly and explained what he thought was the best course of treatment at that time.

He refused to talk about why i was there besides my thyroid. I am looking for a Doctor who will treat the whole ENT of me. My problems of the ENT are inter-related. I am losing my voice, have issues with my throat. Who knows about my hearing and my ears.

Very efficient office. Minimal waiting. Excellent process to set expectations.

Professional and kind.

Dr. Parikh recommended a procedure for my issue, but he was moving so fast that I didn’t get to ask follow up questions about recovery time and so forth. Slow down and build a connection with your patients. It’s a marathon not a sprint.

He explained everything thoroughly and everything went as he and the team prepared me for.

Knowledgeable and professional but he could make the patient feel more at ease with time. I felt rushed.

Seems to be always rushed, doesn’t take enough time to listen to patients based in my own experience and comparing to other ENT doctors. Try to be better prepared to know what’s going with the patient such as lab tests/results, reported symptoms to name a couple of examples.

Spent less than 2 minutes with the patient & was in a rush to move on. Felt rushed

Dr. Parikh was very understanding and caring in what was an anxious time related to having to get a biopsy. Him and his staff helped ease some of my anxiety and I’m grateful for that.

Poor bedside manner. I felt extremely rushed. He did not have time to answer my questions. He gave me a numbing injection and allowed zero time between that injection and the biopsy.

EL MEJOR DOCTOR DEL MUNDO FUE UN EXITO MI SIRUGIA CON EL MUY BUEN DOCTOR SABE MUY BIEN SU TRABAJO NO SE ARIESGA CUANDO NO DEBE.

Dr. Parikh fully explained my surgery and all off my options. He made the process less stressful for me and my family

Dr Parikh was in a rush. Scanned thyroid and then proceeded to leave. I had questions and all he said was come back in a couple years. Not impressed. I will be looking for a new provider

Very nice. Professional

Great visit very thorough exam with follow up that makes sense

Dr. Parikh and his staff go above and beyond in caring for you. I am very thankful for them.

Dr Parikh diagnosed parathyroid problem within minutes at first appointment. Preformed exceptional parathyroid removal with the smallest incision!

I am 84 years old and was NOT expecting surgery. Dr. Parikh removed my parathyroid on a Friday morning, I was home in about 2hours counting travel time! I had no pain! Felt great and was back to better than normal by Sunday morning! He is a very kind Doctor, caring and fast, but careful, I’ve had no complications etc! I would very highly recommend him to anyone needing to get help for thyroid problems.

Very nice doctor..

He’s very nice, attentive to my concerns and very patient..great dr experience!

As a patient, I didn't feel like I got the individual attention I deserved for my issue. It felt very hasty and condescending. Other doctors I have come in contact with were much more thorough and sensitive to my needs. I would not return to this practice.

Dr Parikh was very friendly and diagnosed my problem very quickly.

Dr Parikh performed my nasal septoplasty and trubinate surgery yesterday. I did not experience any pain and can breathe 100% better already.

Wait in lobby area for Dr. Parikh was long at 30 mins past appointment time but was quickly attended to once in patient room. Dr. Parikh was courteous, professional and very efficient. Biopsy of a hard to get to nodule on thyroid took all of about 5 minutes to get a sample with almost no discomfort or pain. Would definitely recommend him.

Dr Parikh was amazing he didn’t cause me to be anxious at all because he really listened to my concerns; great bedside manner.

I was impressed with Dr. Parikh’s knowledge and welcoming personality. He is confident and very sincere. I needed a total thyroidectomy and am recovering nicely after surgery 5 days ago. The surgery center staff was superb and very organized, clean and efficient facility.

Had a parathyroidectomy. Procedure was fast and everything went well. He knows what he is doing and has a great team.

Amazing Dr. Puts you at ease and instills trust in his abilities to address your health issues.

Timed last visit at 4 minutes face time. No introduction of his assistant again. Had to stop you from leaving to ask questions. When asked about symptoms was lectured on guy from Florida on Facebook . Since my source material was Mayo Clinic and Stanford Medical I was a bit insulted. It would have been rude to respond as your back was already out the door. That said, your staff adores you and you do a fine job in the mechanics of your profession. I will highly recommend your skills and staff.

Doctor Shatul Parikh is the best! at what he do...we really need two of this guy...I'm so blessed to have him as my Doctor...I just gotta take him too the Gym and teach him a lesson... Bench press about 425 on him. 💪🏾Lol!!

Great Doctor and Surgeon, would highly recommend to my friends and family members.

The absolute best

Dr Parikh was a little fast, but I.liked him very much

lots of energy.

After seeing 3 ENT’s in Atlanta, Dr. Parikh was the only one that have me an accurate prognosis. He is quite amazing, and easy to understand why he is the highest rated ENT physician in Atlanta. His bed side manners and confident, optimistic energy is just amazing. He’s the best!!!

First rate all the way.

The guy is in a huge rush and seems like my broken nose is not even remotely a concern of his. It seemed like he had better things to do. Maybe 60 seconds total and barely looked up my nose. I hope he was telling me the truth that this won’t cause me long term issues with breathing, snoring and allergies but with his 15 second consultation he recommended that it’s only cosmetic. I was hoping for an X-ray or something just to make sure. I honestly think I need a second opinion, which sucks because I am out money and time with this visit.

I was recommended to see this doctor for a bad ongoing infection I had that wouldn't go away. He came in asked me what was wrong and said there was nothing he could do except maybe surgery. Which he isn't sure if it would even help me or not he said. Never even did an exam on me and didn't give me anything for my infection. A complete waste of money..... So I had to make an appoint with another doctor since I still have an infection and still in pain. My other doctor called me in an antibiotic for the infection and I'm finally starting to feel better. Just wished I didn't waste my money seeing Dr Parikh. I don't recommend him at all.

Dr. Parikh genuinely listens and offers treatments that benefit his patients. He is a lovely human! We need more physicians like him.

I won’t be returning.

Bedside manner is always friendly and attentive, but hurried. But, it is clear Dr. Parikh’s expertise is in high demand, and I am impressed with how he balances the needs of individual patients while maximizing how many people he can help. I didn’t know what to expect going in the first time, but Dr. Parikh was able to quickly diagnose my problem, walk me through my options, and make a recommendation. I followed his recommendation for surgery. The surgery was uneventful. The recovery was as he predicted. After a few weeks, it was clear he had given me a new life of better sleep and better living. I am forever grateful and hope he never slows down.

Love my doctor, he is great

For the 4th time in two months they called to reschedule my afternoon appointment because a provider would not be in the office. Pathetic.

Dr Parikh was very thorough in his examination and direct in his recommendations.

Professional, efficient and ver personable. Highly recommend

Always the best

Very professional. Explained the procedure. The staff was very helpful.

Dr Parikh was very personable, and fast. The nurses and office staff where great too.

Great surgeon who demonstrated a high level of expertise in both the pre-surgical assessment as well as the surgery itself. Minimal pain and tiny incision. I highly recommend Dr. Parikh.

I researched the Best thyroid surgeon in Atlanta- Dr Parikh listened to my concerns and answered all Of my questions. Surgery is scheduled for January.

I’ve always found Dr Pariikh to be personable, professional and thorough.

Excellent surgeon and staff! Very caring and professional! Highly recommend him!

Dr Parikh seems friendly, knowledgeable and polite. Also it looks like they well really busy and overbook appointments that give a rush feeling. No time to explain things to the patient.

Parathyroid surgery

I appreciate being given choices for my treatment and explanations of why. Thank you!

Very Professional

I wish he were on wellstar my chart. I went to my chart to check on my surgery and post opp visit and found no details of my visit or the upcoming surgery or post opp. I may need to reschedule the post opp visit on 12/8 at 10 am

Absolutely love Dr. Parikh

I am a Registered Nurse. I take pride in my bedside manner and making patients feel like human beings and not just a number on the schedule. Dr. Parikh provided the exact opposite at my last appointment. He walked in, opened my chart, did not use my name once, said "how are you", I said "I'm okay how are you?", he did not answer, rather leaned my chair back, put the ultrasound on my neck, called out what he saw (In medical terms, addressing his MA only, not me), told me my lymph node was "still there, unchanged, I don't need to see you again, have a good day", and he walked out. I am in no way eggagerating the fact that he spent MAYBE 2 minutes in the room after I waited 40min. for my appointment. It's sad the way I was treated. And I'm sure this visit will be billed as a very high level, most expensive visit. Very disappointing.

good operation

Great Talented DR

Dr. Parikh determined the problem and treated it on the first visit.

gave me no instructions after cauterizing my nose

Dr Parikh and his staff are excellent. He gives you enough time to ask questions and explains things so well. They respected my time.

Every knowledge and professional

Dr Parikh spent less than 3-4 min with me as a first time new patient visit. I felt rushed and hurried by his arrogant demeanor . Definitely wasted my money and time by this unpleasant Visit with Dr Parikh.

Service was top notch!

I love Dr. Parikh but my insurance company was hit with several unknown charges that were declined from the surgery center and pathology. and two anesthesiologists.

Rude, lacks empathy and has no patience for questions. Gets irritated quickly and it shows

Very nice person

I felt more confident after Dr. Parikh spoke with me. He explained what would take place during surgery.

Very informative and thorough for my new patient exam. Made me feel welcome to the office. The Dr made sure I new my options and provided information on treatment.

Dr. Parikh was very helpful to me ahead of my surgery and on the day-of surgery. He is personable and helpful with any questions. I would recommend Dr. Parikh.

He should use more numbing meds my procedure could have me sore for days but that’s it !

I showed up at Dr office 30 minutes before appointment as they request. Then had to wait 1 hour & 20 minutes to see Dr. all for 5 minutes with the Dr. I won’t go back.

Attentive, detailed oriented, and professional. Procedure was quick and he answered all questions. Exceptional care.

very upfront & professional

I am very satisfied with my visit to DR.Parikh, he’s very attentive.

My parathyroid surgery was a real challenge to this expert, Dr. Parikh. Definitely pleased so chose such an experienced and highly equipped surgeon to perform.

He knows his stuff..Great Bedside manner..He and His Staff..Would recommendations Him to my friends

Disappointed no follow up directly after surgery. Won't see the Doctor until Post-op a week later.

Shatul and staff are excellent!! Took very good care of me.

Dr. Parikh is easy to work with and patient with answering questions, which I find extremely important. To me, it feels like a lot of doctors (especially doctors in the Piedmont system) give their speil and leave little time for questions. I'm sure Dr. Parikh is as busy if not busier than other doctors, but he will stop and look at you as if you are the only patient he has and answer your questions without rushing. He also has a very upbeat personality and a calm demeanor. In addition, he is the only doctor in the Southeast that I know of that currently offers a new (to the US) technology called Radio Frequency Ablation (RFA) for thyroid nodules, which helps many people save their thyroid.

Very professional and knowledgeable

Excellent knowledge and personality during my first visit. Positive attitude toward surgery and beyond.

Friendly, supportive and thorough. Thank you!

Great experience, staff took quick action to get me in the office and scheduled for surgery the same week. Took time to explain the procedure and all steps involved including setting up all pre/post opp appointments while I was in the office.

I’m so thankful for dr.parikh, he’s a great doctor and very professional. And the people at the clinic were very kind and respectful.

Dr. Parikh is the ENT Batman! He appears, makes good things happen and then disappears.

Dr. Parikh is wonderful! He is very attentive and explains things clearly. My only complaint is that timeliness seems to be a recurrent issue. I understand getting bogged down by other patients, however, I had an early morning appointment and I think he was just late since I could hear all the staff saying hello and good morning to him. At a previous appointment I waited 45 minutes beyond my scheduled appointment time. Dr. Parikh is a wonderful physician and I am thankful for all he does! Just needs to balance time a little better.

Very personable. Made me feel comfortable for a first time meeting. His demeanor is fantastic.

Interaction was brief, but sincere. Dr. Parikh understood the serioisness of my condition and how my quality of life is being affected. He wasted no time detailing what our next steps would be in correcting my sinus/nasal issues. I am optimistic about the future of my ENT health!

Great experience. Dr. Parikh is a pro and tells it like it is. Surgery was 4/8 (benign tumor on the Parotid). Everything went smoothly and the care I received from everyone involved (nurses, anesthesiologist) was comforting and informative. I’m extremely happy with the care I received.

FIRST TIME APPOINTMENT - NICE AND PLEASANT STAFF - EVERYONE HAD THERE PART IN THE WHOLE VISIT AND EVERYONE WAS SMILING AND VERY NICE

I’ve been having sinus problems my whole life and seen many ENT specialists. I respect this physician so much for his professionalism, knowledge and willingness to really fix my issues not just give me meds to manage the problem. Thank you, Dr. Parikh

Nice guy....very caring. He makes one feel confident in his skills.

Very knowledgeable and caring. Provides all the info you need and answers questions to put you mind at ease.

Polite. Knowledgeable. Confident. Great communicator. And he has a great staff.

Very kind to fit me in as a first time patient! Staff very pleasant.

Personable and welcoming! Will return if needed for further ENT assistance! George

Not exactly a warm and fuzzy practice. Had two encounters with staff which were cursory and abrupt. Same for meeting with the doctor.

Everyone was friendly efficient and businesslike

A compassionate and caring MD - fully explained dx and surgical procedure in a clear and detailed manner. - eased any apprehension or concern.

Parikh is great. Just wish everyone didn't whoosh in and out of the room in a hurry. I now surgery and procedures are second nature to the practice, but it's a big scary deal to patients. Maybe slow down a little. :-)

Pleasant demeanor and thorough explanation of issue

10/10 would recommend! Dr. Parish is an expert in his field and is makes your time together informative!!

I saw Dr. Parikh for the first time yesterday afternoon. He was thorough, he had clearly read the information from my primary care provider before my visit, and he created an action plan to determine what was causing my discomfort. Super friendly guy. Had a good chat about reviews as a matter of fact.

AWESOME! Great doc, who was kind and helpful. I love this practice. My audiologist, Dr. Leslie, is the BEST, Dr. Parikh was outstanding, and the front desk team, is exceptional!

Very good very good customer service like the personality made you feel very comfortable I will be back just to say hello because my biopsy will be negative thank you for making me feel very comfortable...

He is a pioneer in the use of Radio Frequency ablation of thyroid nodules. he knows his stuff

Although there was a mixup on my appointment time I have never felt so horrible about the care I received. Normally Dr Parikh appears to provide great care, but my appointment lasted no longer than a few minutes and it felt so patronizing and thoughtless. I’ll have a tough time returning to this office and will probably look for another provider.

Dr. Parish is very honest, personable and kind. I was anxious and he calmed my nerves. The entire staff was extremely helpful and professional. Thank you!

I had an appointment on Monday December 21 for 1:30 pm. I left home early but was stopped behind an accident on the expressway and then when I arrived to the parking lot the gate was not working. I finally made it to the Doctors office 10 minutes late. The receptionist told me I would have to reschedule as the doctor left because I was 10 minutes late. I drove 40 miles to get there. Very bad customer service.

Listens well and good at offering options w explanations

Dr. Parikh did not perform a thorough exam of my ears. I have had a wax build up problem and have visited ENT's numerous times over the last 40 years. Each time the doctor used a tool to remove wax that was further down in my ear. Dr Locandro has taken care of my problem several times since I moved to Kennesaw 4 years ago and I have always received excellent care from him. I am very familiar with the pain associated with the wax problem and since Dr Locandro was out of office on Wednesday and booked up Thursday I accepted an appointment with Dr Parikh. He gave a cursory look at my ears and said there was no wax in either ear and that if the pain persists I should follow up with Dr. Locandro. The pain continues and I just hope it does not become unbearable before my scheduled appointment with Dr. Locandro on 1/4/21.

Seems to be a good Doctor just need to slow down when seeing patients. Don't be in such a hurry, he may miss something important the patient need to know.

Good listener. Takes time to explain and answer questions. Very pleasant and productive encounter.

Very helpful and knowledgeable! Friendly and caring about my situation.

He was very fast. In and out

Dr spends very little time with patient. Seems to be dismissive of any questions asks of him. Poor patient rapport.

My 1st visit Dr Parikh very nice friendly and knowledgeable..so I hope my surgery goes just as well..then 5 stars

very thorough. very pleasant.

Office opened at 8:30; I arrived at 8:45 for a 9:00 appointment but was NOT seen by the doctor until 9:40???? And was moved from one room to another???? I may not be a doctor but my time is valuable to me.

Very pleased with Dr. Parikh

This has been a tough year. Dr. Parikh has been attentive and encouraging. He is plain spoken which is what I needed through surgery, chemo and radiation and throughout the ongoing healing process. Excellent doctor.

Informative. Using medication prescribed and waiting for follow up.

Dr. Parikh is really good at making you feel comfortable. He is quick and

Highly skilled physician with a most professional manner. Dr. Parikh instills confidence with his medical decisions and follow up care. I have the highest regard for his attentiveness as he patiently answers any questions .

Dr. Parikh is a true pro in his field. He's friendly but a lot of doctors are friendly. Dr. Parikh knows stuff. I trust him. I would not go to any other ENT doctor but him.

Quick, Easy and Professional

Answers questions clearly and has a kind attitude

He is very pleasant to see. Great bedside manner and professionalism

Dr. Parikh is very personable and easy to talk to. He is very knowledgeable and performed the necessary tests needed the same day of my appointment. His staff is very nice and the waiting was approximate 15 minutes or less. Highly recommend him!

Doctor did not explain very well rather he is hurry to go to another patient and we left office very unprofessional

Very professional! I was impressed with the way doctor immediately took a most important test! Thank you

Friendly and efficient. Keeps on schedule pretty well.

Made me feel so at ease. Very knowledgeable!

He made me feel comfortable, took the time to listen.
