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.

Dr. Parker-Ray is the consumate professional, as is her staff. I have absolute confidence in her medical opinions. They made colonoscopy a comfortable experience. They also listened to my request for full sedation during the procedure.

I recommend Dr Parker-Ray to anyone, She's awesome
Dr Parker-Ray takes time to listen to my questions and concerns. She is thorough, and I appreciate her professional yet friendly manner. I was at the end of my rope when Dr Parker-Ray diagnosed my Celiac's Disease. She's been so informative and supportive with my care. I trust Dr Parker-Ray with my Healthcare, and I always leave a visit with a plan that I can work with. I recommend her to anyone!
