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.

Seek more competent compassionate surgeons elsewhere- Dr Parker literally butchered my body up, operated on a 2nd time to repair some of his damage, then was dismissive when the problem returned again, as well he 100% lied to my face marking false claims as to the exact results of the surgery, that contradicted the details of the op report & hospital records. I had to find another specialist - wait a year for my body to heal then he had to fully remove everything the dr Parker did and for a full abdominal reconstruction, removing lots of scar tissue and butchering, it’s been a couple year and the pain & suffering continues. Though I was having issues with hernias I was so so much better before I allowed this subpar surgeon to touch me with a knife. Buyer Beware- go to another hospital & get a better doctor!

Dr Parker preformed surgery on me and used the Robot. My down time was cut in half. He is very knowledgeable and an excellent surgeon. If my friends or family needs a general surgeon he would be my choice. He has a great bedside manner, and the staff is excellent!

I had my first visit with Dr. Parker who was referred to me by my primary physician. I found the office staff to be extremely professional and friendly. Waiting time unusually short by comparison to other medical practices. Dr. Parker took time to explain my condition and details of my scheduled surgery. I have every confidence I have chosen the correct surgeon.
