A lot of people reviewing here seem to have had a good experience, which is why I signed up for a "15 minute free consultation" for a heel problem from running. The doctor spent less than 10 minutes with me while the receptionist ran my insurance. Doctor came back and said they don't take my insurance so it would "just be $125 today" I was pretty surprised. I expressed that it felt like sticker shock and she said she " examined and touched my foot" so it was clearly not a free consultation. Was that in the free consultation fine print? If a foot gets touched, pay up! Wow. I offered to pay something more reasonable considering there would no treatment and I signed up for this as a free consultation to see if I needed treatment. She initially refused but finally agreed to $100. Most of the 5 star reviews have 1 or 2 total reviews and are probably paid reviews. I am a real person. I give 2 stars instead of 1 star because the receptionist was a genuinely nice person. The doctor literally disappeared once we settled on $100 for the"free consultation." It's not about the money, it's about the principle and ethics. Less

Amazing experience! Very professional and communicative.

As a family, we have been seeing Dr. Parikh for many reasons for when we had trouble walking, feet issues and had laser treatments. Dr. Parikh and her Technician have been warm, professional, patient and thorough whenever we met. She truly has a wealth of knowledge as we leave feeling comfortable and we understand the next steps needed after each visit.

For years I had a fungus issue with my two big toenails. They turned black and were painful in closed shoes for any period of time. I made an appointment with Dr. Shermi Parikh for a consultation. The process to clear up the issue was explained in detail. Four months later ~ after treatment via three laser sessions, topical ointment, and an rx ~ I am excited and looking forward to sandals season! Reasonably priced and worth it. Thank you so much, Dr. Parikh! I highly recommend doing the same for yourself! Less

I am writing to recommend Dr. Shermi a podiatrist who provided me with exceptional care and treatment for gout. Dr. Shermi was extremely knowledgeable about gout and its causes, symptoms, and treatment options. She took the time to listen to my concerns, answer my questions, and explain my condition in terms that I could understand. She was also very compassionate and understanding, which helped to put me at ease during a very difficult time. The treatment I received from Dr. Shermi was top-notch. She was able to accurately diagnose my condition and develop a personalized treatment plan that addressed my symptoms and helped to manage my pain. She also provided me with valuable advice on how to prevent future gout flare-ups. Overall, I would highly recommend Dr. Shermi to anyone seeking a podiatrist who is knowledgeable, caring, and committed to providing the best possible care to their patients. She truly went above and beyond to ensure that I received the best possible care, and I am extremely grateful for her expertise and support. Less

Went to see Dr. Parikh horrible left foot pain, she was super friendly and comforting took her time never felt rushed.. Had a horrible experience in October with another podiatrist truly great full for her honesty and professionalism..She wasn’t in a rush to give me a cortisone shot.. completely restored my faith in good doctors!!

Great experience. Dr. Parikh is very professional. Highly recommended!

We’re very happy with Dr. Shermi Parikh, she’s very caring when it comes to her patients and always gives us good caring advice, you need to look no further when you come here, just ask for her, you’ve come to the right place, I highly recommend her, and front desk receptionist is very attentive.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Parikh for a several years and would highly recommend her and the team at Family Foot and Ankle Center. After battling flat feet and torn tendons for years, Dr. Parikh has developed a comprehensive plan to help me stay active. Customer service is led by Nancy and she is amazing as well. Overall a great experience!

It is the second time that I return with Dra Parikh, excellent service, she has always been very aware of my pain and has always done her best to help me, the first time I came with her was because of a fall I had, and this time it was for something different and I only thought of her when I sought treatment.

Great service. I was checked in immediately and the doctor always made sure if I felt any pain during the surgery. I will definitely recommend this place.

Dr Parikh did an incredible job when I took my Mother to see her. She put my Mom at ease & the pain that brought us together is gone. Thank you Dr Parikh!

Hello, I'm Jennifer Mendoza and have been a patient of Dr.Parikh for some 10 years now. Seven years ago she performed minimally invasive Bunion surgery on my right foot. To this day no problems and no ugly scar. November 22, 2021 she performed minimally invasive surgery on the Proximal bone of left big toe. The big toe was crossing over the second toe and was causing me a lot of pain.The Proximal bone was cut and repositioned angling away from the second toe. No hardware was put in the toe. Tapeing was used for repositioning. Only had to take pain medication for one day. Surprisingly little pain after 1st day post-op. In a boot for 2 weeks and kept toe taped in position for 4 weeks. Surgery was a great success. I'm now in PT, just went back to work. I'm on my feet at work as I am a massage therapist. No pain at work. I have 4 more PT visits. Foot muscle strengthening and Balance. It will take some time for new bone growth in that big toe. No scaring No anesthesia just local foot numbing. Was on you tube all thru surgery. Dr Parikh you are a life changer. Thank you so much. 💓 Less

(Översatt av Google) Jättebra erfarenhet. Varje möte var lägligt. Jag behövde inte vänta flera veckor för att få en tid. Läkaren var professionell och vänlig. Mycket bra erfarenhet. (Original) Great experience. Each appointment was timely. I didn't have to wait weeks to get an appointment. The doctor was professional and friendly. Very good experience.

I came into the office with foot problems after running. The doctor was able to help me and solve the root of tge problem. I had a toe surgery and after a carefully guided healing with my doctor I’m back to being active without pain!

I definitely received quality service and a quality product from this office! I would highly recommend them to anyone! Less

Had come in because of chronic heal pain. Dr Shermi parikh set me up with a pair of orthopedic inserts and 4 treatment of lazer treatment and buy the fourth one my heals were like new thanks again Dr parikh and the receptionist was so helpful on checking what my insurance covered overall great experience

Dr Parikh has been my podiatrist for 20 years!! She is an outstanding surgeon and foot care physician! I highly recommend her for all of your podiatry needs!!!

Dr. Parikh and her staff are very attentive and professional. Dr. Parikh takes her time with her patients and explains thoroughly what she needs to do to fix your foot problem/injury. I felt very comfortable going to see Dr. Parikh and I would highly recommend Dr. Parikh!

My husband had surgery to release the tendon of a very significant hammertoe that had developed an ulcer. Because he has diabetes this was decided as a safer route. Ulcer now completely healed and though toe still slightly bent there is a marked improvement . I followed him with removal of bone spurs from the top of my foot. These had been present for many years but were increasing in pain and inflammation. I could not wear most shoes and certainly nothing dressy. It’s very sad when your shoe wardrobe is ONLY athletic shoes. Just prior to surgery even these were hurting me and getting more and more inflamed. That surgery was in February and now is completely healed and PAIN FREE. As a matter of fact the actual day of surgery was pain free as well. I would very highly recommend Dr Parikh for any foot surgery. And one of the best parts, to me, LOCAL anesthesia. We were and are very, very satisfied. Less

I was searching for foot doctor online and the closest one to me was Dr. Parikh office. I made an appointment for consultation and with my HMO insurance the services was not covered. But she gave me couple of treatment options and prices and it was very reasonable and affordable. I was able to pay on my own and Dr. Parikh was able to pinpoint the problem I had and she recommended all the treatments and one of the option she had was the laser treatment as I am afraid of taking shots. I must say the laser treatment she recommended was the best treatment offer by her and it was very reasonable price and affordable. After five sessions of laser treatment and my orthotics that I got from her, I am doing better, my foot is better and I can walk without pain. I would definitely recommend Dr. Parikh office in Golf Mill. She also offers other services in her office. I am also getting laser treatment for my upper lips. I know if I have any foot pain, she would be the first one I would go, she is very knowledgeable in her profession and very professional and excellent services you will get. She has very friendly staff and they are professional and very clean and safe office. If you have any foot problem please visit Dr. Parikh and you will walk out of her office with happy feet! 👍 Less

The doctor is really nice and explains everything. She really is a good doctor. Thank you so much!

I’m happy with the outcome of my treatment. However, I can not get over the lack of hand hygiene. It will prevent me from going back to this office. Gloves do not replace hand washing.

The Receptionist Nancy is very professional! Dr Parikh is wonderful and explains what the problem is and solution to the problem. She fixed my crooked toe. Best foot Dr. I have ever seen!!

My achilles and heel were very much in pain and with two treatments of laser pain went away. Dr. Parikh is very professional and friendly.

Great experience! Everyone is super friendly and do what is best for you, as a patient. 10/10 would recommend for anyone who needs any help with their foot and ankle.

I am so happy that I made the decision to have my bunion removed at Family Foot and Ankle Center after putting it off for years. At the consultation, Dr. Parikh's professional and caring demeanor immediately made me feel comfortable. Her thorough and patient explanation of the entire minimally invasive surgical procedure calmed my anxiety and put me at ease. Surgery went smoothly and I walked out with no pain. My recovery involved minor discomfort with no complications and no physical therapy was required. I was wearing athletic shoes within two weeks and the foot exercises she prescribed speeded up my recovery. I love my foot! I highly recommend Dr. Parikh and Family Foot and Ankle Center if you are considering foot surgery. Linda S. Less

Nothing but good things to say about this place. We had a treatment plan with a variety of methods and Dr never suggested anything I didn’t need

Always have a very good experience, Dr. and staff are very friendly and helpful it did not take long to get my foot problem fixed. Would definitely recommend this practice to other people.

Very knowledgeable doctor Compassionate Warmly welcomed , clean and inviting office area Dr Shermi is up to date with all advanced equipment and procedures I would recommend her very highly

Dr. Parikh was wonderful! She has such a great bedside manner. Our podiatrist was on vacation so I called her office as the next person on my insurance list. She had my child’s hurt toe fixed up in no time.

Doctor Parikh was thorough, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. She shared my options and made recommendations. I am so glad I went to her!

She took the time to know me and my concerns. I feel very comfortable with our plan to eliminate my complaints of tired and sore feet. I highly recommend Dr. Shermi Parikh.

I couldn't sleep at all because of A lot pain during the night. I visited 4 times. I got much less pain. In additional Dr. Shermi very kindly explained about my symptoms.

Dr Pariqh is exceptional. She is my foot dr. I had 2 surgeries by her. I had hammer toe surgery both times. The recovery was smooth. Very minimal pain. Minimal incision scars. I followed her instructions for recovery. Being a letter carrier. I need to be on my feet all day long. I trust her with my foot care. She's personable. I have so much confidence in her to recommend her to everyone.

I went to Dr. Parikh for a 2nd opinion on a condition on my heel diagnosed as Haglund’s deformity. Dr. Parikh offered me a option to have minimal invasive surgery in leui of a more extensive surgery to remove excessive bone on the back of my heel. Dr. Parikh estimated the recovery to be half of the time of the more traditional method. Additionally Dr. Parikh proposed using a stem cell injection which would expedite recovery and minimize the possibility of regrowth of excess bone . Two weeks after surgery I am walking with shoes and I don’t need physical therapy due to the shortened recovery time. Dr. Parikh’s Treatment has been detailed and professional. She is is very responsive to any concerns or questions prior to and after surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Parikh. Less

She provided me with instructions that were specific to my needs and was honest when she said that she wouldn’t perform a procedure until I had a medical condition controlled. The wait time is not long and you are treated with care and respect. I would recommend Dr. Parikh’s services to anyone. Less

I have been having pain in my right foot for a while (mostly hurts when I point my toe, and isn't always consistent). I also have possible inherited issues that I want to prevent, including bad knees and gout. I went to see Dr. Parikh at her office in the Golf Mill Mall in Niles. It was easy to find -- it's in the tower at the mall and she was able to see me without a long wait. I could see her two days after I booked. What I noticed about her was that she was patient and willing to listen to all of my concerns. She was friendly, and had several suggestions for treatment -- and didn't push me into anything. Turns out, I was experiencing some residual pain from repeated sprained ankles on my right foot. She also suggested that I try custom orthotics. I grew up in Germany and these were really popular there -- I'd even had a pair when I was younger -- so I was happy to order them knowing how much they help. What I liked about the samples Dr. Parikh showed me is that they are thinner and lighter than what I was used to, and I can leave them in the shoes I wear most. I'm even considering getting a pair for my workout shoes. For the pain I'm experiencing now, I'm going to try laser treatments, which she does in her office. To prevent gout, Dr. Parikh suggested some dietary changes and possible supplements. Overall, I was really happy with my experience and plan to do more ongoing care. Less

I visited Dr Shermi's office first time for fungus treatment. She consulted with me 3 times laser therapy as a reasonable price with magnificent result. I could wear open toe shoes without any embarrassment,because I always tried hide ugly toe nails for over 10years. I strongly recommend this Dr.anybody who has a same problems.
