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.

Terrible. My wife had a stroke, losing her eyesight in her right eye less than two weeks after her physical. She is not thorough. She had a blockage in the artery next to the carotid. Parish did not detect it.

Dr. Parish is intelligent, caring and thorough. She truly advocates for her patients. My first appointment with her lasted 90 minutes. And at my follow up, after the multiple tests she ordered, I finally have a diagnosis and a plan forward.

Dr. Rebecca Parish of Lafayette has been my primary care physician for many years, and I think she is an outstanding doctor. Dr. Parish is professional, knowledgeable, and listens to her patients. She has always effectively addressed any and all health concerns I’ve had. I trust and value Dr. Parish’s opinions and advice and highly recommend her.

I started seeing Dr. Rebecca Parish as my primary care physician one year ago. No one has ever been so interested in my health and well being. I feel like she truly cares about me and wants me to be healthy and happy. I want very much to backpack and rock climb and ski. I have struggled physically and emotionally over the past few years as my body has been falling apart. Dr. Parish seems wholly committed to getting me active again. I keep being surprised by the ideas she comes up with to address each new issue as it arises. She also seems to usually know the perfect specialist for whatever crazy thing my body is doing next. I am deeply grateful to have her for my doctor.

As a patient of Dr. Rebecca Parish for well over 10 years I have only the highest praise and admiration for this remarkable physician. I started with Dr. Parish when she was part the John Muir Medical Group and continued with her when she formed her own medical practice, Comprehensive Wellness, in Walnut Creek and Lafayette, CA. Even during those trying times of setting up her own practice she was always 100% available and totally dedicated in supplying the best medical care I have ever had. She is available to her patients via email & text 24/7 and it is not unusual for me to get a text or phone call from her long after the office is closed or even during her early morning exercise routine before she heads into the office. If you are looking for an outstanding physician that is totally dedicated to her patients then look no further because you have found one in Dr. Rebecca Parish.

Dr. Rebecca Parish - Covid 19 - vaccination - drive through -Lafayette I felt that the above drive through vaccination site was beautifully set up and run by Dr. Parish and the medical volunteers. It was professional and well run, and I felt that administering extra doses, which would have expired, to walk in individuals was the only sensible thing to do

Dr. Parish is terrific. She has now twice solved an allergy emergency (once related to Asthma and pets, and the other to some sort of allergic reaction). I can't recommend her highly enough.

I can't recommend Dr. Parish highly enough. A life-threatening condition put me in the hospital for weeks. Dr. Parish visited frequently & conferred with specialists for me. Post hospital stay, she accompanied me to follow-up appointments & continued to express care/concern w/ weekly phone check-ins. She is thorough, positive, attentive & personal. Her knowledge is exceptional & she is well-respected by her peers. It’s a blessing to have a doctor I can trust & who truly cares about my well-being

My mother became a patient of Dr Parish’s after moving to Rossmoor. Her father, brothers, and husband (my father) are medical doctors and as a result her standards for care are very high. She was skeptical when I made the appointment, but from the moment Dr Parish introduced herself, my mother felt at ease. From there she opened up and established the ideal patient-doctor relationship: thorough, compassionate, and targeted. Dr P identified longstanding problems that were undiagnosed by others

I love Dr. Parish! I was a patient of hers when she was at a John Muir facility and followed her to Comprehensive Wellness. She listens and is very good at explaining things. She got me on a better health plan and as a result of her care, I lost 60 pounds. She is always warm and welcoming. I have moved out of the area and still travel into town to see her for my annual checkup. She is quick to respond to my email questions and I would not hesitate to recommend her.

I woke up with shooting pain down my right leg and barely able to walk. I called CW and was told to come see Dr. Parish within the hour. She diagnosed my issue, provided pain relief, had me see physical therapists within minutes. Dr. P is thorough, decisive, efficient, and effective. CW's structure is simple. You pay a fee when you are seen and the office staff files for insurance on your behalf. I receive reimbursement from my insurance co. directly. Highly recommend!

Dr. Parish helped my father when he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. She was not only very helpful with coordinating his referrals to different specialists, she was also extremely patient in explaining all aspects of his disease and treatment. Additionally, she was an incredible resource for my family and I, as we went through this with my dad. He was, and we continue to be, grateful for all of her care.

She was my doctor at JM Health. She did not do a complete physical exam on me and made excuses about her leaving the organization to take better care of her patients. I had a referral pending which was disapproved because she did not respond to my insurance company. I am very disappointed in her behavior and will never be her patient again. She neglected her current patients to benefit herself.
