    "I was sent up to ENT by Acute Care not because I requested to be seen by ENT . Dr. Parker came in chewing gum took a quick look laughing and said I don't know, I don't know. He said this is not an emergency which I never said it was but I have had a history of skin cancer in the past, and could not get into a Medical Associates dermatologist for a week, but my Prior doctors office could get me in this afternoon. He said he could do a biopsy but this is not an emergency so what brings you to my office today, this is not anything that dermatology couldn't handle. My husband was in the office with me and we both agreed that he seemed annoyed that I was In his office for this situation. We were definitely not impressed with Dr. Parker's bedside manner, we would definitely never recommend Dr. Parker to anyone . We have both been seen in the ENT office by a different doctor and always had a pleasant experience."

    "I was not able to check in with the front staff. They were overwhelmed with other patients. I used the online portal to check in. I was in the waiting room longer than I was actually being in the clinic room to be seen for an issue for tongue tie with my son. He spent maybe 30 seconds looking at his tongue and then dismissed us completely. I am consulting with his neurologist for a secondary referral because I just don't feel like we got the support we needed. And I am losing patience with medical associates. One of the reasons why I'm still with medical associates is his PCP doctor, Dr. John Callahan. He's really great. But otherwise, me personally, my son's care."

What I though was affecting my prob, believing it couldn't be what I felt was contributing to my situation. With much resistance with me, because I've been dealing with my certain condition since the 90's, and understanding, but ready to accept it was something he talked about. And I agreed to testing, lab, swabbing my tongue, and to pursue another possibility! It was hard, and triggered my past trauma's, and to where I am at peace within, from healing, to accepting myself. Finally having some self-esteem, and confidence, from facing something 45+ yrs finally. Still learning and growing, but in a happier state.. you may be healing from your past, but pieces still linger. Although it didn't go the way I was hoping, and tears, and time to accept it, and learn from it... always learning and growing. Thank you Doctor!"
