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.

Good experiences
I have only had good experience with Dr Parmalee, who listened well - at the top end of the doctors I've had in my life. The other clinical staff and administrative staff have always been helpful, professional, friendly.

I have not been on the same page with Doc for a few months. Made to feel like a pill popper on more than 1 occasion. I was specific and did not want more anti-depressents due to a misdiagnosis and taking bad meds for 6 years, yet he refuses to give anything to take the edge off, but will prescribe more anti-depressent meds without consulting a physciatrist. I feel like he only listens for the first minute, makes a decision, then rides that decision regardless of what the patient wants/needs.

My experience with Dr. Parmelee was not a good one. I do hate to leave bad reviews for anyone, but especially doctors, however I do think it is important that the public see honest reviews. Dr. Parmelee, became easily frustrated during my visit with him. He was short on patience, and I found him to be somewhat rude. I'm very disappointed with my experience.

Dr. Parmelee and his staff are among the best medical professionals I have seen in my life. They are thorough and experienced, and I felt as if they truly cared about their patients and took their time (yet I was seen exactly at the time of my appointment). The office is also very efficient in terms of contacting Dr. Parmelee's referrals and following up.
