Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great Doctor
Having Dr. Parker as my MS doctor is a huge blessing. He actually will sit and talk to you and that’s a rarity. He made me feel heard and seen.

He listens, is kind, wants quality of life to improve, answers questions thoroughly and explains treatment plan well. Never felt rushed and minimal wait time. Has a long wait time for first appointment but worth it to see the best! Highly recommend Dr. Parker.

Dr. Parker actually LISTENS
Telehealth
I had a virtual appointment. The virtual software wasn't working properly. I could barely hear him. So he suggested hanging up and he'd call me. He called back immediately. All went well. He is such a nice man! He never makes me feel rushed. He listens to me. Something a lot of physicians should do.

New Patient Visit
It was prompt, little to No delay at appointment time.A pre-visit Interview with a professional covered the basics of why I was seeking a neurologist. When DrParker came in he was well informed of the first interview , began evaluation and educating me on my condition,cause,progression and treatment.. Highly recommend even if it took a long time to obtain an appointment

Most Professional and Caring Doctor
Telehealth
I've seen Dr. Parker for over 7 years now, and he's been nothing but helpful and encouraging, even as my neuropathy has progressed. He listens, is thorough, never rushes, and is prompt in response through the office's patient portal. I can't say enough about him and would recommend him to any friend or family needing neurological care.

Lewy body dementia
Telehealth
My mom has been seeing Dr. Parker for approximately 2 years. He diagnosed her with Lewy Body Dementia and has been consistent with her plan of care during this time. He is professional and very compassionate with my mom. She has always seen him in the office, but today was offered a telemedicine visit due to the weather. She responded very well with this visit. He is her second neurologist, and we couldn't be happier she is now under his care.
