Dr. Don Parish, DO

He's gone now but I had no problems with him.

I was surprised to see such poor reviews posted on this site, but my primary doctor was unavailable, as usual, so the practice scheduled this appointment. My visit was very brief, not at all informative or, in my opinion, helpful. I was just looking for answers to my medical condition and came away with no answers and more frustration. Now I understand the ratings others have given.

Horrible experience. I provided a list of my meds, my allergies and my conditions. He came into room, conversation barely began and he announced that we were not a good match. Because I am sick and have issues needing to be considered? Because he’s not qualified? I explained that I had been to Urgent Care, the ER and this follow up. (All as I was directed) I asked for one of a very few antibiotics that I can take. He said no, offered another med and said, “take it or leave it”. That is totally unacceptable, ignorant and I don’t have a prescription that I need.

His bedside manner is non existent. My daughter has a very critically serious disease and he cares nothing for her well being. Off to find another dr. Baycare, get rid of this guy!

His bedside manner sucks. I'm out.

Avoid this physician. Visit was about him and his peacock ego. Didn't listen to my needs. Usually prefer internal medicine physicians, he is definitely exception to that rule for me. Was first visit to him and no time spent to establish my concerns and needs. He did get me in and out quickly and acted unconcerned. Went go back to baycare primary care based on his behavior.

I'm going to break one of my rules -- to only give good reviews and hold my tongue if I have something less than positive to say. Here goes. Is this doctor for real? Are any of his 'good' reviews for real?? He has no empathy and absolutely no interest in his patients. I'm not sure why he chose medicine as his profession when he clearly is unhappy. He lacks any semblance of intuition, gives little feedback and the feedback he does give is useless. He wanted to put me on a med for something undiagnosed which was later confirmed negative and voiced his disdain when I told him I didn't take it, BUT refused to put me on a medication for something I actually was diagnosed with. This is the "White Castle" of medicine -- consider making this a drive-thru service because that's all it's worth. Seriously BayCare, you could do better.
