First came the news, Melonona, my heart sank with the news. My head was spinning as I quickly began researching Doctors. What should I look for? What do I need? My dermatologist referred me to two surgeons, my friend suggested a third. My family Doctor suggested a fourth and my co-worker had one as well. Within a week I met with five Doctors. Although it was tiring I am thankful that I met with all of them and did not just go with the first one. Like the story of the three bears, one Doctor quickly set me up for several tests, procedures and surgery. One laughed and said just a quick cut is all I needed. Then I found the Doctor that was just right. Dr. Parker. From the moment I walked into the waiting room, I knew I was in good hands. At the desk, I met Candice. She was warm, professional, caring and encouraging. Then I met Dr. Parker. I was so confused and scared. During the consultation I could actually feel all my worries being lifted as he patiently described everything to me. I never felt rushed, I felt like he was truly there for me. Of course all the Doctors had extensive background, but Dr Parker was also compassionate and caring. His 20+ years as a highly recommended Surgeon meant he had the skills, the compassion was a bonus. Surgery was scheduled for the following week. It was difficult to wait and questions kept popping in my head. Dr. Parker mentioned if I had any questions I should call him. Well, I did call, several times, and each and every time, he was there for me. If he was with a patient, he called me right after. Candice also helped calm my nerves. Everyone at the hospital was supportive, encouraging, and wonderful. They all spoke very highly of Dr. Parker as well. Surgery went well. I never felt any pain and healed quickly and my scars are smooth and almost pretty as they remind me to wear sunscreen. Yes, Dr. Parker is a fantastic Surgeon, but he is also a remarkable person. I feel so fortunate to have found him during my time of need.

Dr parker failed to stand behind his work. He made statements to me about my operation and then denied saying them.i then had to go to get a the opinion of another doctor who confirmed what he denied saying. Now i’am going to have to go through the operation again. All doctors should start at a 5 star rating and work their way down.my operation was a waste of time due to dr parker’s Bad judgement on my operation

I have no idea who this is or what you are speaking of; however, it is not my style to behave in the manner you described. I suspect this may be the same patient who leaves multiple poor reviews in as many places as possible, but as always, I wish you well. Not everyone has the perfect outcome we all hope for, but even in cases where a perfect result is impossible, I never simply deny saying something. I hope others will see the many, many instances of positive feedback on this and other sites.

Dr Parker was the surgeon who operated on my husband's hernia a year ago and he has been in pain since the surgery. He recently went to another surgeon to find out what was causing the pain. He got an MRI and the results indicated there was an issue with the hernia that should have been discovered & repaired by Dr Parker. My husband returned to Dr Parker & he indicated it wasn't his responsibility so now we have to pay for another surgery out of our pocket because of his oversight. Not happy!

It would be inappropriate to go into detail here, but your description is a complete mischarachterization of our interaction. A rating of "1" for everything says it all compared to other reviews. Nevertheless, I hope your husband is doing well.

I have seen Dr. Parker for a few different problems and I am always amazed at how much time he spends with me to make sure I am informed and at ease. Highly recommend.!

Dr. Parker was GREAT!!! He spent a LOT of time with me and answered all my questions (and I had a ton of questions!) He did not make me feel rushed. The person who gave him one star review is just wrong. (They just probably did not want to pay their bill. ) Amanda, Dr. Parker's office manager is so sweet and helpful. The office is beautiful and cozy. I have nothing at all bad to say about Dr. Parker's care and I will be recommending him to my family and friends!

Dr. Parker is truly wonderful. He personally returns phone calls and is always punctual, which is very rare these days. He is very thorough and easy to talk to. Everyone on the hospital staff that I met had only great things to say about him. He explained the procedure with me and always listened to any questions or concerns that I had. He also spoke with my husband to make sure that he did not have any questions and also returned his phone calls. I would recommend Dr. Parker to all of my friends and family. He is a doctor that genuinely cares and puts his patients first.
