As a cultural and community leader, he serves as a catalyst to create and develop philanthropic projects and causes benefiting healthcare, education, arts and culture in Central Florida.

Dr. Parikh is President of Premier Cardiology and serves on the Board for the Orange County Medical Society. His long term leadership involvement with both CAPI (Central Florida Association of Physicians from the Indian Subcontinent) and with the AAPI (American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin) were taken to a new level when he served as the Convention Chair for the 33rd AAPI Convention and Scientific Assembly held in Orlando in June 2015, with over 1,800 world-wide attendees.

His contribution as a cultural leader to the Indian-American community amps up each year as the chair of it’s official India Day Celebration in Downtown Orlando. This day-long line up of excitement showcases Indian culture, cuisine and entertainment including a well-attended street festival in front of the Amway Center. After having had the Orlando event recognized, by the NBA, as the “Best Heritage Night in the NBA,”  Dr. Parikh and his team have taken the heritage night concept to a new level with the launch of ExcelIndia where they promote Indian-American heritage through creative community partnerships with NBA franchises around the country including: Charlotte, New York, Atlanta and Washington D.C.

As a Central Florida native and as part of his ongoing enthusiasm to support arts and culture in Orlando, Dr. Parikh and his wife Beena have recently been added to the “Donor Wall” at Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts. The Parikh’s are an integral part of introducing international talent to the Orlando area, having arranged a variety of headline performances at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, Amway Center and the Orange County Convention Center.

Blending his talents for heart-care with his passion for his community and his family, Dr. Parikh continues to be honored to serve and support the Central Florida Community through the Parikh Family Fund.
