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.

Tells it like it is. Military Doc.
Dr. Parente is an OB who will tell you exactly how it is. She doesn't sugar coat anything which is what I like about her. She sits down with you, goes over your scans and then shows you what they should be. She gives her honest opinion even if you may not want to hear it. She makes great recommendations if you have fertility issues. I ended up in the ER with what the doc described as a possible ruptured cyst/missed miscarriage. I planned on going to my original OB but they told me it wasn't serious enough and they'll see me in two weeks. I frantically called around and Dr. Parente saw me the next day. She told me information about my scans (my uterus was 16mm with no reasoning and I have spots on my lungs) from the ER that the ER doc never mentioned. She put me on medicine that no other OB has even entertained and it worked! It dropped the lining from 16mm to 4mm. She is my 4th OB and I pray that she is the last because I'm tired of not being able to trust anyone in this field.

My favorite OBGYN- She really cares !
I love Dr. Parente. She has great bedside manner, is very intelligent, and I've always had wonderful experiences with her. She has gone out of her way to accommodate me on several occasions, has advocated on my behalf, given me great referrals, and has even taken time off of her vacation to call me & follow-up with me. She was sick when I gave birth unexpectedly but still called me while she was VERY sick to congratulate me an apologize for not being able to deliver our little one. I don't like the office staff tho. (not her fault!) Only con about Dr. Parente is that because she is very good & well liked, she is VERY busy and hard to book appointments with

Dr Parente has been my gyno for several years She's always great-spirited, very patient, thorough, listens to my concerns, provides info whenever I have questions, and has a great sense of humor to boot. Dr. Parenté cares about her patients. I've highly recommended her already and would gladly do so for anyone who needs a Gynocologist.??

Rescheduled already with a different doc in the practice because she wanted to move my appointment out more than 2 more weeks than original date with no explanation as to why. I called them twice and did schedule an appointment with one of the other partners. Please don't advertise that you take new patients when first of all it took over 7 weeks to get the original appointment, then you needed to move it for some unknown reason.

I was excited about my first appointment with Dr. Parente because of the great reviews. Then my appointment got cancelled but we rescheduled for two weeks later. Then my appointment got cancelled again and I was not even given a courtesy phone call. I found out when I called to confirm my appointment myself. Terrible communication and customer service. I would not recommend.

Dr. Parente is perhaps one of the sweetest, smartest Gynecologists I've ever had. She takes time to listen to your problems and discuss possible solutions. She calls with test results HERSELF. I have absolutely no complaint about her or her office and would recommend anyone to her. In fact, I have family members going to her as well. Wonderful doctor!

Near death. This woman doesn't listen, doesn't diagnostically inquire about your symptoms, ungodfully judges you with her thoughts, ignores your pleas of pain because she thinks your a drug addict even though you have access to more drugs she could ever prescribe you, if you choose to take them, which I do not. I almost died because she made seriously wrong judgements about a very sick state I was in. At minimum I had a 9.2 centimeter mass engulfing my remaining ovary and uterus, with diffuse en

Feels like going to my girlfriend's for my checkups. Great bedside manner and she is very knowledgable on all the latest studies and medical breakthroughs. She even called me back to check on me and answer some questions while she was on VACATION! Love, love, love Dr. Parente!
