Dr Parker done a hip replacement on me a year ago. I was very impressed with the care he and the staff provided me. Everyone could nit pick and find something that didn’t suit them mostly about staff. Me I didn’t get a call back from the nurse as quickly as I thought I should have. Was it an emergency? NO! Just a question that wasn’t even important. So my arrogant side you know the one that’s loaded with self importance told me I had a right to expect more. Facts are they are very busy and efficient. He is very personable. I highly recommend Dr Parker. My daughter recommended him to me. She did good.

Dr. Parker performed a total knee replacement revision and I feel like a new person. I can do so many activities I could not do for a several years. He was attentive and thorough making sure the results of mobility were what they should be. All this occurred during Covid and his staff communicated well and kept me informed of scheduling. I am very pleased with patient care given by Dr Parker and his staff.

I went in thinking I had hip problems. After a thorough exam and X-rays Dr. Parker could tell it was actually a spine problem. He recommend a exercise regiment for me. After a few weeks the pain was no longer a problem.

He did surgeries on several of my family members. All of them had complications and had to be repeated. He is incompetent putting it kindly. Knife happy! Hateful staff especially receptionist.

He did a surgery on my daughter, had some bad news post-surfery, and then we never saw him again. We have so many questions that as of yet, have to be answered. His staff is so rude and unhelpful.

I had the best experience with Dr. Parker. The staff was very kind and efficient. Dr. Parker gave me a stem cell injection in my knee when the only other choice was knee replacement! It worked. I'm looking forward to having my other knee done. It was an amazing experience and I'm very thankful. I'd recommend Dr. Parker and his team to everyone!

Would not recommend at all. Office visits and office personnel are the absolute worst especially the main lady that takes your name to check you in. Your appointment time doesn't matter to anybody. If you have an appointment at 8 in the morning then plan on being there until 10 before ever getting called back. All they care about is money and getting paid before ever even seeing the Dr. They wanted to charge me for a follow up on a surgery that he performed that still isn't right!

Dr. Parker went above and beyond my expectations and I would highly recommend him to anyone. He was my third opinion and there was no doubt that he was genuine, honest well educated and passionate about his job and patients. He took all the time I needed and answered all my questions and comforted me leading up to and through my surgery.
