This Dr. should not be a dr period. No bedside manner, no follow up AT ALL. Forget a call back or email response that will never happen. Been trying to contact his office for last six months and go nothing. Still waiting for test results and a follow up since February. Will now for sure be looking for yet another new dr because this guy AND his staff are no help to their patients. NICE...REAL NICE. THANK YOU for wasting time I do not have because my health has gotten worse.

I am a new patient and spoke with Madison who stated I needed to send medical notes for the reason to see dr. parkman prior to scheduling and when I was still talking she hung up on me. Guess what... not going to that office. I know its philly but your business is open because you see patients... NOT this patient I'll go else where.. Tell your staff not to hang up on clients or future clients.

THE ABSENT MINDED PROFESSOR
This guy (wouldn't even call him a doctor) is from out of space! He always is saying give me your symptoms but don't give me too many. He never reads any reports that you send him or any other reports that any of your other doctors send him. He doesn't like questions asked. He is too busy typing on his computer and doesn't like to look at you or doesn't like to listen to you. I went to him - had some tests done - I am worse now then before I started seeing him. He doesn't remember much. I had to supply all of my paperwork to him, which he already had and didn't bother to look at it. And if you ask him more than he can handle, he says if you want me to treat you - no more questions. What kind of quack is this? I've been to several GI doctors - and he is the worse. I was recommended by another GI doctor to go to him (some GI doctors don't know him at all). Wait until I go back to my GI doctor and let him know what kind of quack this guy is.

I have been a patient of Dr. Parkman for 9 years. I have a GES, a Jejeunostomy Tube, and had a Pyloroplasty. I've been in several studies of his. Without his research some people wouldn't be alive. He has taken excellent care of me since 2008. I've been inpatient at TUH 3 times and Dr.Parkman has always come to see me every day. He's a great doctor and he truly cares about his patients.

I have been a patient of Dr. Parkman since 2008. I wouldn't be alive today if it wasn't for him. If it wasn't for his data collection and research, many people would not survive gastroparesis. In order to effectively treat there must be research and data collection. Thank you, Dr.Parkman!!

My daughter has been seeing him for a few years unfortunately each visit proves more disappointing than the last. He I more interested in his testing data collection than actually helping patients. MY daughter was in TU for 2 weeks with a gastro flare up, much to my surprise, HE DOES NOT SEE HIS PATIENT IN HIS HOSPITAL. He belongs in a lab working with rats. Unfortunately he does know he field just doesn't care. Rather than stars his rating should be in bullets and I think 5 would be his number. Furthermore I went to Hopkins to get a different opinion, they all told me to go back to Parkman, that's who they follow, what a crime.
