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.

I first saw Dr. Parish in the hospital ER. The attending physician ordered a CT Scan and within minutes of my diagnosis, Dr. Parish arrived. I felt very comfortable and completely confident in him the minute he walked into the room. He was extremely courteous, taking the time to explain the diagnosis and procedure for the emergency surgery I needed, which was performed immediately. I can't Thank Him enough.....I would absolutely recommend him!

Took the time to explain and listen to my concerns. He got me in with a gastro dr in order to solve both my problems. He performed my surgery quickly and had excellent follow up.
