Mansi Parikh, M.D.

"Glaucoma is a particularly challenging disease because there are no symptoms early on.  To me, open communication is a key ingredient in any doctor-patient relationship.  I will take the time to explain the reasons for and goals of treatment and answer any questions.  In return, I hope my patients will freely discuss with me any concerns or barriers they encounter along the way.  Together, we will work as a team to provide the best quality, individualized care."
