Dr. Parker did my hip replacement surgery. Afterwards, I was not able to put any weight on the leg. It did not improve much and after many visits, where he told me just to wait more time and do pt, he told me not to come again. Turns out, after visiting a neurologist, I learned he had damaged my femeral nerve and more. After 5 yrs, I walk with a cane and have same issue. He has a horrible ‘bedside’ manner, dismissive and doesn’t listen and/or comprehend what is being said. Also, apparently is not observant.

Dr. Parker performed surgery on my left knee December 2017 for a torn meniscus. He mentioned after the surgery that he saw arthritis on the outside part of my knee and had "cleaned" it or "scrapped" it away. No follow up at the hospital nor after going home. No bedside manner, so rude and cold. Well low and behold, I need surgery again on the same knee. I will NOT be going back to this incompetent doctor.

I went to Dr. Parker after having a cast on for over 3 weeks for a broken bone in my hand. Dr. Parker looked at the x-ray and said that I wasn't healing at all, and told me I had to get re-casted for 2 more weeks. I told him that I had no pain at the break point, but he responded very abruptly that I would need surgery if I didn't get another cast. He had his technician cast me and never followed up to see if it was done correctly, which it wasn't. Having a feeling that something was amiss, I finally decided to see a hand specialist who looked at the x-ray and said that I had been totally healed. I question Dr. Parker's ability to diagnose.

came in with undiagnosed knee pain that had been ongoing for a month. He did xrays and an mri. looked at the mri for about 1 min and said he didnt know what was causing the pain. I later spent 45 minutes online googling symptoms got a 2nd opinon about my hunch (lcl injury). I was correct. I shouldnt be able to solve something in 45 minutes when he spent 7 years in school and could not. Also ARC is run like a patient fast food joint. stay away if you can.

Dr. Parker diagnosed and completed a full hip replacement in 2007. At the end of one year chronic hip pain developed in the same hip. Dr. Parker could not diagnose the source of the pain, with repeat visits. A second surgeon was able to diagnose the problem in the first 5 minutes of the first visit. The hip was repaired by removing scar tissue, eliminating an impingement (leg hitting back of hip bone), repairing a muscle that was cut during the first surgery to gain access to the hip and releasing the iliopsoas bursa. WOW! what a mess. It is unclear if the first surgery had a major part to play in these problems, but Dr. Parker should have been able to diagnose them.
