Dr. Parikh graduated from Nova Southeastern Universitys College of Dental Medicine. Before completing his dental degree, he attended Florida State University for his bachelors degree and his masters degree from Barry University. Dr. Parikh views his dental license as merely an opportunity to take more continuing education. Over the past two years, he has completed over 350 hours of additional courses to provide better care for his patients. Dr. Parikh is also currently pursuing an associate fellowship with the American Academy of Implant Dentistry.
Dr. Parikh moved back to the Pensacola area in 2018, after living in Jacksonville for six years. His wife, Katie, is a Pensacola native and works as a surgeon. They are thrilled to be back with their son, who is a jumper, climber, runner and non-stop joy. You can always find them around town doing family activities. When not playing with his son, Dr. Parikh finds time to cook, garden, travel, bicycle and watch college football.
As a dentist, Dr. Parikhs goal is to be empathetic, kind and gentle to his patients, treating them like family relationships. He strives to exceed his patients expectations and to help them feel healthier and more confident. It is very fulfilling for him to know that they helped patients achieve the happy, healthy smile they have always desired. Our dentist also works with many charitable organizations like Mission of Mercy to provide pro bono dental care for the underserved and disadvantaged.
