Biography
Dr. Parikh is a clinician scientist who cares for patients with and studies inherited (genetic) cardiovascular disease. She is the director of the Stanford Center for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease (SCICD) which is one of the largest of its kind in the country. SCICD integrates clinical and basic science with the expert care of patients with genetic cardiovascular conditions (e.g., cardiomyopathies, arrhythmias and vascular diseases). It provides cutting edge care for thousands of patients and families across the lifespan and integrates medical, surgical and genetics care. Our team includes physicians, nurses, advanced practice providers, genetic counselors, exercise physiologists and scientists.
Dr. Parikh's own clinical practice and laboratory are focused on the genetics of cardiomyopathies and their associated arrhythmogenic substrates. She completed clinical cardiology fellowship at Stanford School of Medicine and her medical residency at the University of California, San Francisco. Funded by multiple research grants from the NIH, her lab seeks to identify novel mechanisms and therapeutic technologies for genetic cardiomyopathy as well as better understand the natural histories of patients affected by these diseases.

I did prior…it cant say enough great things about her.
I’m so thankful to be under her care.
Dr. Parikh is amazing. I'm so lucky to know her, and she is the reason I will continue to be seen at Stanford.
She is easy to talk to and she did check several times throughout the visit to make sure I understood everything she was saying.
Love Dr. Parikh and her team.
Doctor Parikh is a total professional, she takes the time to make sure I understand my condition and the possible treatment options. I feel like she understands my concerns and genuinely cares for my complete well being, not just my heart.
Knowledgeable and helpful. I left with a plan
Ellen, Elise and Dr. Parikh are simply the best, smartest and kindest health care people around. They make me feel like I am their most important patient. They inspire so much confidence, I literally and figuratively trust them with my life.
She was great. Answered all my questions.
I was treated like an animal and not a human being
Dr. Parikh is one of the best physicians I have ever known. She is well skilled, caring and compassionate and is helpful in shepherding her patients in making their healthcare decisions. We need more like her.
All of the staff was very attentive and helpful.
Dr. Parikh listened to my concerns and gave me several tasks to do over the next 2 weeks.
Thanks for advising me of my limitations and allowances for my prognosis.
So much of the success of these video conferences depends on the comfort level and the personality of the doctor. Dr. Parikh was definitely in the groove.
Answered all questions, and felt very comfortable
Dr Parikh is very patient, understanding, and willing to listen to my questions providing thoughtful answers. She didn’t rush me at all.
I thought she did a wonderful job.
Great medical staff
Dr. Parikh is extremely knowledgeable and treats me with care and compassion.
Absolutely. You need another category - "Excellent"
I was very pleased with my visit. Dr. Parikh was easy to talk to. She explained everything so I could easily understand my situation and what I needed to do going forward.
Definitely will recommend Dr. Parikh and his team. Very professional folks.
She is a great doctor, easy to talk to and explains things very well.
I really like Dr. Parikh. She seems to be very patient centric (as does everyone I have met at Stanford Health). She is able to explain things in a very understandable fashion.
She is wonderful.
Took the time to wait for my echo results and then showed them to me on the screen. Very informative! Thank you.
The service and attention from the physicians at my charge are excellent Dr. Parikh and Dr. Marco Perez, Victoria Parikh. Excellent thank you!
Dr. Parikh is a phenomenal physician. I felt very comfortable with her and was able to speak candidly about my concerns. I was able to easily understand, remember and follow her treatment plan.
Excellent!
detailed explanation of the causes/effects and possible solutions. this was comforting as it gave me some control back in my life
excellent care
Dr. Parikh is an attentive listener and has a sense of humor. She is fabulous in her ability to communicate & reassure.
Dr. Parikh is the best. Her office is always easy to get a hold of too. I have recommended my brother to her.
She was very knowledgeable plus friendly, which I have found hard in a speciality doctor!
Both doctors & nursing staff were exceptional & an example of how doctors should be.
