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.

Exceptional Provider
Dr. Parker is a knowledgeable and skilled Gastroenterologist, He is also friendly, compassionate and is an excellent communicator. Dr. Parker just as in previous visits reviewed my chart and diagnostic test results prior to entering the exam room. Therefore, I did not have to spend a lot of time providing my medical history. He listened to my concerns, answered my questions and did not rush through my visit. Dr. Parker also explained his findings and his recommended .treatment plan. I am grateful to my fellow nursing friends for referring me to Dr. Parker. I will continue to refer my family, friends and others to Dr.Parker. I am confident that they will also receive quality compassionate healthcare service.

Wonderful experience.
From the moment I arrived at my procedure to the moment I left I was surrounded by knowledgeable and supportive staff who were amazing. As stressful as a colonoscopy and endoscopy can be they were all there to guide me through the whole procedure with professionalism and kindness.

Dr. Parker
Dr. Parker was assigned as my Gastroenterologist years ago, and when changing all my Dr.’s to MERCY recenty, I decided against getting a new Gastroenterologist, because of how great he is. He has always been very kind, caring, intelligent, and has a wonderful bedside manner. I have gone through multiple Endoscopy’s with him, and both times, he made me feel safe, informed, and calmed my nerves. When you find a Dr. of his calliber, you've found a Dr. for life, and I‘m so grateful for him and his team. His P.A. James, has also been a blessing as well!If you are in need of a Gastroenterolgist, I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Parker @ Woodholme!

Lasting Impression
I was referred by Dr Parker III byway of a friend’s friend. It was important to meet the doctor in advance of my procedure, Colonoscopy. It was not a rushed discussion but a lasting impression that provided the right energy to proceed forward. We went over medical history to confirm and update to develop an appropriate plan of action. He was direct but pleasant with an informative caring tone. Onward and Inward. Lol

Good guy
Dr. Parker could tell I was nervous going in for my first screening. He didn't rush me or make me feel stupid. He answered my questions and was very gentle and caring with me. I very much appreciated his bedside manner and general demeanor, and would recommend him to anyone.

Wonderful experience!
I won't deny I was a little nervous about my 1st time having a colonscopy. From the time I walked in the door to the time I walked out, I was treated with respect and care. I didn't feel like a number, but a patient that received great service. Dr. Parker was attentive, answered all my questions and has a compassionate bedside manner. The staff their were so nice, friendly and attentive too. Highly recommend!
