Dr. Parekh is a personable individual who enjoys interacting with others and is grateful for the opportunity to do so through his work in medicine. He possesses strong emotional intelligence and knows that healing someone goes beyond simply treating the ailment. The support of his family in pursuing cardiology as his passion has been crucial.

As a hobby, he emcees events (especially medical ones) and finds the on-stage spontaneity needed to read and connect with an audience extremely exciting. He holds a 2nd dan Taekwondo black belt and is humbled by the lessons the martial art has taught him about life.

He received the Singapore Health Manpower Development Plan (HMDP) award and completed his interventional cardiology fellowship at Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital (LHCH), United Kingdom. He did his comprehensive general cardiology training in the National Heart Center Singapore (NHCS) and Changi General Hospital (CGH). He is also trained in family medicine and has attained a Graduate Diploma in Family Medicine (GDFM). He strongly believes in the seamless integration of primary and specialist care to treat patients holistically.
Prior to entering private practice, Dr Parekh was a general and interventional cardiologist in Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH). He was an integral member of the hospital’s dynamic coronary intervention team and provided round-the-clock primary angioplasty services to the population in northern Singapore. He is currently appointed as a visiting consultant in KTPH.
Dr Parekh was also the pioneer cardiologist of Woodlands Health (WH) and had multiple leadership roles in establishing key cardiology services for the new hospital on top of his busy clinical duties in KTPH
