Still excellent. But I really should have provided more detail in my first review for Dr. Parker.
He's the physician I want treating my friends and family. Dr. Parker's "bedside manner" is wonderful: he truly listens to his patients and is encouraging, even when reminding us (for the 2nd or 3rd time) of what we should be doing. He is thorough when giving explanations and instructions, but has never talked down to me, always direct and very positive.
Always open to questions.
Dr. Parker not only stays current in the field, but also contributes to it (research, publications, community service).
He's very easy to talk bluntly to about even the "ickiest" of symptoms, something that's never been easy for me, but I feel quite relaxed even when I had to see him for something that was kind of scary-painful.

Previous patient of Dr Parker that I absolutely love. Recently migrated back to Vegas but looks like he is only working as executive/private doctor for the rich and famous. I love the concierge model but unfortunately can not afford 40K per year. Too bad because he is probably the best physician I have ever had

Forgotten about & neglected patient after being sold a dream.

While I loved Dr Parker & his staff initially, there were several concerning misses along my time with Parker Medical.

Initially we clicked right away, Dr told me what was included in the membership & I signed up for the concierge package that was to cover unlimited visits, and individualized attention.

While I am very healthy and did not need nutrition or wellness counseling, I do suffer from autoimmune diseases in which I am healing naturally, so treating any medical issue at all naturally was of key importance.

I developed a severe infection, and should have done my own research in treatment options/medication side effects but I didn't. The medication I was prescribed gave me more than 73 side effects including bleeding gums, suicidal thoughts and more. I stopped them on my and then did the research to find that there was a simple laser procedure that I could have done (and did) which healed the infection completely-no side effects. I wish I would have been told all of the options. Unfortunate set of circumstances, nothing I blamed him for but knowing all of my options & personalized care was why I signed up for Parker medical.

Next, several months later, I started to receive large bills for every single visit (even just to get simple lab test results) and when I spoke to the Dr, he did want to make it right & allowed me to switch accounts to a PCP which more would have been covered. Although minus a couple of injection fees, I still paid for all of the other charges. This is also when I realized that nothing was being noted on my charts or account. I provided a very organized and detailed history as well as filled out all paperwork in detail but many mistakes were made as far as my medical history, insurance status etc. Concerning but I blew it off as a new practice working out the kinks.

Then in an attempt to balance my hormones optimally, I was given DHEA/Testosterone along with my other hormone regimen. I started having adverse reactions in which I messaged Dr about several times. He told me that I most likely had stress related hair loss. I didn't. When I re-tested my levels, I had way too much test/dhea and he didn't realize that he should have told me to stop taking it more than a month prior to. He ended up paying for the last refill I got since it was their mistake. Thankfully, my hair has regrown, and its now fuzzy all over my head in between my long hair but its growing. If it hadn't, I don't even know! Sheesh!

I really don't need to see a Dr much as I am very healthy, just to do occasional testing to make sure my hormone levels were doing ok. I never actually saw the Dr again, and most of the testing I did were tests that I requested trying to get to the bottom of any root cause of the autoimmune issues. Definitely seemed as though I wasn't important enough, even after I sent a huge edible arrangement and didn't receive so much as a thank you. Not that I wanted praise, just an acknowledgment of receipt would have been nice. Had to call the edible arrangement shop to make sure they received.

Lastly, without sufficient notice, I was discarded as a patient. This was a business move on Drs part that I cannot blame him for. Only specializing on concierge patients and raising the fees. Being that I don't need a Dr aside from a few blood tests to optimize wellness, that didn't make sense. I received a letter stating that I would have him as my Dr until Sept 30th. Then in Sept, an email stating that it would be Sept 26th.

What's disappointing further is that he would only refill my scripts for 1 month. I've never had a dr leave me high & dry like that. Its difficult to find one that aligns with my viewpoints of conventional med/pharma as an outdated bandaid in most cases and so it will & has taken months to find someone new. Still searching actually-have been since the letter was received.

Now that I need to give my medical history to a new person, I find that I am locked out of my patient profile on their site already! Its not the 26th yet either.

While I did like Dr Parker as a person & business man, I didn't like being sold a pipe dream and having it fall so short on some very important and avoidable things. His office staff is also stellar.

Dr. Ryon E. Parker's response
Thank you for allowing us the ability to serve you at the time we first opened and appreciate your kind compliments and remarks. Unfortunately, account balances that are over 90 days past due are turned over to collections as is customary in most businesses. I would be happy to speak with you again if you require any additional clarification.

Dr. Parker is a rare breed. Most compassionate, professional and knowledgeable Doctor I have ever been fortunate enough to meet. Dr. Parker is setting a standard that is above the rest. His staff is very professional and have a true kindness that is not found any where else. Once I made my first call and spoke to Ashley, her caring voice and confidence saying everything will be okay, was all I had to know. His business concept is simple, he wants to be your doctor, he wants to know you as person and to provide quality care. Dr. Parker's sincereness is the most endearing quality about him, he just plain cares about people. I knew this was our doctor after our fist visit and felt this overwhelming gladness that we have finally found our doctor!

I cannot even begin to highlight the incredible service I have received at Dr. Parker's office. I am over joyed to be apart of an exclusive membership where I know my personal needs are being taken care of and I am not part of a factory system. After suffering with a serious condition for several months, I received news that most would not like to hear. Cancer! I was literally seen by three doctors that kept writing me pain medication, not listening to the fact I was having excruciating back pain. I didnt want medicine...I wanted answers. That word... Cancer... still so hard to say let alone type. Dr. Parker did a complete workup and diagnosed me with Multiple Myeloma. Not knowing where to go or what to do, I felt so much at ease with Dr. Parker's confidence and assurance this would be taken care of. He sat with me until my last tear fell. Knowing I did not want to stay in Vegas, Dr. Parker called and arranged everything at Mayo Clinic, coordinating my lodging and assisting with my family's needs. Months later I am doing so much better. I cannot thank this man enough for saving my life and letting me see my wife everyday. The practice is expensive but well worth it.

Dr. Parker is incredible. I was unable to make my appointment due to changes in my work schedule so he stayed late in order for me to still be seen. As a business owner, challenges come up but am thrilled to have a doctor work in and around my schedule. Following that, I was away on business and had caught a flu bug. My stomach was in so much pain and had diarrhea. I immediately called Dr. Parker on Saturday when I returned and he graciously came in, gave me an injection, started IV fluids, and within one hour I felt 100% better. I can say that I would not have gotten the same attention in an ER or urgent care. I was in an out in 30 minutes and ready to conquer the rest of my day. His staff called to follow up which I have never gotten in all my experiences with health care. My only feedback is that I would like the Parker Medical App to work on my android. Hopefully in the future.

I had a concierge doctor in California for several years and truly does not compare to the quality of practice and physician I have here with Dr. Parker. Dr. Parker stayed late for me one day when I couldnt get out of work and also offered to drop off my medications to the pharmacy. In this day in age, its truly hard to find someone who goes above and beyond for patients. I am blessed to find such a caring team. I truly feel spoiled!

Incredible experience with Dr. Parker in his concierge office. I recently left another concierge office to join his practice given his multiple wellness services and approach to medicine that was completely lacking in the other. For once I feel like I am on the right track and getting questions answered. Front desk was amazing, was offered warm towels, tea, and water. Dr. Parker saw me within 5 minutes and spent 45 minutes with me asking everything about my wellbeing. Wow! I feel as if I was talking to a friend the whole time, someone who cares and listens.

Biography

My philosophy as a physician is echoed in the words of George Washington Carver who believed how far you go in life depended on you being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the starving and tolerant of the weak and the strong, because someday in life you will have been all of these. I consider caring for patients and their families a privilege and am thrilled to offer my skills as an Adult Internist and Pediatrician in a concierge setting. My work affords me the opportunity to be a specialist in both adult and childhood illnesses. I appreciate knowing the complexities of both fields and how one can enhance the practice of the other. We utilize a unique methodology to address the chronic conditions that affect millions of people today. Our team will create a personalized and coordinated plan of care that specifically addresses your individual needs.
