Patient Experience & Approach
Diabetic patients whose legs were basically scheduled for amputation at other hospitals say Dr. Parakh opened up the blocked arteries when every other surgeon had written it off. People dealing with varicose veins mention the laser and glue treatments meant walking out the same day — no painful stripping, no weeks of lying around recovering. Dialysis patients whose fistulas kept clotting over and over say he fixed access points that previous surgeons had completely given up trying to salvage.
