What families are saying
Trusted by parents, teens, and fellow clinicians
Dr. Deepika Parmar is an exceptionally knowledgeable, gentle, and relatable physician who truly understands the needs of patients with eating disorders. I've witnessed firsthand how she connects with teens and their families, meeting them exactly where they are and guiding them with compassion. Her ability to motivate parents to take the steps needed for their child's recovery is remarkable, and her patients deeply trust her – even when the advice is difficult to hear. Families return to her because they know she is fully committed to helping them move forward and get better faster.

I just wanted to let you know that in all the times we have met so many doctors along this path and you are the best doctor we have ever worked with. My daughter *** normally hates coming to appointments and getting weight checks, but with you she was actually willing to come and join and feels understood by you. I feel like I'm getting smiles out of my daughter again and she's my heart out of my chest. And I thank you for this.

Dr. Parmar I want to recognize you for the approach that you took with helping us to understand this illness and helping my daughter feel understood and never vilified. This is so hard and we had a bad experience before but today we feel like you have been so wonderful in helping us get aligned to help J****e.

I have worked with Dr Parmar in a multidisciplinary program for intensive care of children and adolescents with eating disorders. Dr. Parmar is a wonderful physician and colleague. She is thorough, extremely knowledgeable, has excellent clinical acumen and provides evidenced based treatment and recommendations consistently. In addition to her knowledge base Dr Parmar has a wonderful way of connecting with patients (even the most resistant) and educating and guiding families through this stressful process. As a colleague, she is extremely responsive, open to collaborating and available as an amazing resource of guidance. Perhaps the most meaningful feedback I can provide is that as a parent Dr Parmar would be my first choice doctor if a family member ever needed!
