Charles Parker, MD

"So far things are fine."

"It was nice to meet Dr Parker. It was my first appt with him. I would see him again. Thank you!"

"I was wondering if it would be possible for me to set up a regular schedule to have my ears cleaned out. He used a little vacuum which seemed to clear up wax that was built up in there. So I don't know whether he does that type of thing, but I would be interested in doing that if he did. Thank you."

"Dr. Parker was so very patient and kind!"

"Friendly, kind and very knowledgeable. Very nice Doctor!"

"Very satisfying...provider was kind and professional;/"

"I was very well satisfied with the care I received."

"No issues with the follow-up appointment. Was a plus that I could see the provider in Dyersville."

"Dr. Parker was a very caring doctor and explained everything he was going to do to me. I was sent to him from Acute Care and was served in a very timely fashion."

"Great Experience"

"Dr. Parker is a great ambassador for Medical Associates"

"Dr. Charles Parker is an excellent ENT physician he listens and he truly cares"

"As we were leaving our appointment with Dr. Parker, my 4 year old said "He's the best doctor ever!""

"Dr. Parker is excellent at explaining options and answering questions."

"Excellent"

"Thank you for the excellant quality care you provide!"

"Very good doctor with good bedside manners"

"The receptionist was very nice and it was a good experience overall. Didn't wait too long, didn't spend too much time there. Thank you so much."

"Starting with reception, Emily was very pleasant, helpful & has a beautiful smile, very professional. I was roomed by a nurse named Michelle. Again, very professional, very attentive to what I needed, very cheerful, I can tell she loves her position. Dr. Parker, yes, amazing, he was covering questions that I was going to make an additional appointment for, listened very well, responding to questions as he did my procedure. Not missing a beat! Wonderful experience! 5+ stars! Thank you!"

"I had gone to the emergency room. It took 30 days after that event to get an appointment to see a Doctor. Not acceptable!!"

"Dr Parker goes way out of his way to make sure you leave feeling better and explains all your options. I love the fact he will do a procedure right that day and not tell you to schedule a time to come back making you have to wait to feel better. In and done the same day with follow ups as needed."

"Dr Parker was very professional. He answered all of my questions directly and he treated me with respect The nurse and the audiologist were equally as professional. A great office visit."

"I like this doctor!"

"Initial visit with this doctor, kind and knowledgeable."

"I wish to express profound gratitude to Dr. Parker who restored hearing in my ear."

"Great experience."

"Doctor Parker was super nice"

"Nurses, medical aides need to introduce themselves by name and position when they call you back and take you into the examining room. It is inappropriate to have someone ask you all sorts of personal questions and never begin with "Hi, I'm (name) your nurse today." Or something along those lines."

"They fit me in since I went to acute care but needed ENT for my ear, great service in both departments!! Thank you"

"Fast and efficient"

"Dr. Parker & his staff were friendly, knowledgeable & informed me of how to properly care for my incision. I appreciated the time they spent with me answering questions. [REDACTED]"

"Moved us through fast"

"They are so kind and thoughtful"

"I have been to Dr. Parker before. I have always found him to be very caring He listens to all of your concerns and discusses with you the possible outcomes."

"One month to get in with an ear infection is too long"

"doctor is very nice, i got all the answers of all my questions. and bery details..."

"Dr. Parker is one of the best Dr. I have ever been too. Great explanation of what was going on. Easy going. Just a great guy."

"everyone was very caring. I'm sorry I talked everyone's leg off"

"Dr Parker is great!"

"He was so kind and helpful."

"I'm still waiting for the next step in my treatment process."

"Wonderful visit"

"We love Dr. Parker and his nurse Tegan!!! BEST TEAM EVER ?"

"Doctor Parker was Very informative about my health."

"One of the best doctors bedside manners !"

"Dr Parker did very well with my prep and surgery and providing good info. Nurses too did well in providing good information."

"Excellent doctor!"

"Dr. Parker worked me into his schedule and took me back to the exam room himself. Fantastic service and care!"

"Smooth and quick"

"I was so grateful to have Dr. Parker during a stressful situation. His personality and demeanor helped diffuse a difficult situation with my 2 year old! Would recommend him to any of my friends and family!"

"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."

"Staff was very kind. Dr. Parker explained everything very well."

"I have recommended Dr Parker to several people because he is an exceptional ENT Dr. He's kind, explains what he's doing and is gentle with his approach. I never feel nervous at my appts!!"

"The initial call to handle my infection was disappointing as a receptionist was ineffective. Moving on and going through Acute Care was the key and their staff and associating doctors and nurses were outstanding."

"They were all very courteous. The doctor listened very well and I would highly recommend him. Thank you."

"Dr. Parker is very knowledgeable, HELPFUL and Friendly ! He is concerned with the overall health and well-being of his patients!!"

"Doctor needs to talk with his staff about holding up to his high standards"

"Dr. Parker and his entire staff are absolutely excellent. I'm an older gentleman who's very hard of hearing and they have treated me with compassion and extreme care. I have already recommended them to many members of my family and friends."

"I loved my doc he took very good care of me"

"Thorough, good discussion and patient education."

"Very educational and friendly"

"I left there with the same problem I had. I feel it didn't listen to me and should have spent more time with me and understand more what I was saying. I just feel like I didn't get the care I wanted to get."

"I needed unscheduled follow up attention from Dr. Parker and was given an immediate appointment."

"I like Dr. Parker. He's easy to talk to."

"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."

"Very informative and concerned about my health. Very satisfied with my visit. Thank You."

"I was satisfied with what happened with my treatment."

"Dr. Parker is extremely knowledgeable, courteous and patient. I implicitly trust his advice and care. Thanks for having doctors like Dr. Parker as caregivers"

"Dr Parker was very helpful and answered all my questions. Explained to me what is going on with my brain."

"Having suffered with a painful ear infection that was unsuccessfully treated for over a month, having to wait for more than a week to see the specialist was troublesome. I explained this to the scheduler and asked if I should just go to Acute Care. Her response was somewhat patronizing and belittling. "I GUESS you COULD if you really think it's THAT bad.""

"Very thorough"

"Dr. Parker explained my options and said I could reach out with any questions or if I was having difficulty sleeping."

"Solved the issue"

"Too bad you don't accept Atena advantage plan"

"Dr. Parker is always amiable and willing to share his wealth of knowledge. His skillfulness in collecting a biopsy made the experience manageable and with little discomfort."

"Everything was great!!!"

"Everyone was very nice and helpful."

"very short wait time, courteous nurse, knowledgeable doctor"

"Dr. Parker listened to my concerns, answered my questions clearly, and helped me consider how to address future incidents of this problem. He was patient, pleasant and knowledgeable."

"Very much so, everyone involved Listened to what I had to say"

"So prompt on getting me in on the time that I was scheduled to see the doctor. Great using the check in on my phone."

"Very thorough. Happy with my care."

"I have been fighting sinus issues for over 20 years and Dr. Parker made a quick diagnosis and proposed very workable treatment plans. Very much satisfied with his explanations, care and attention to detail."

"Dr Parker is the kindest and most caring physician I have ever had. He answers all my questions and concerns and I leave his office confidant with my care,"

"Very thorough and kind."

"Dr. Parker is always very courteous and professional. I have seen him several times over the years and his surgical and reconstructive work is exceptional and has always provided me with the very best outcomes. I highly recommend him as a top-notched ENT doctor."

"Great, easy, friendly"

"Dr gave me answers but never really actually told me what it truly was that is causing the bump on the side of my neck. He was unsure even with an ultrasound. So not sure my question was answered correctly or accurate or not."

"good experience"

"Very positive experience."

"Haven't been able to hear right since 1-12026. Not at all in left even since injection. Appreciate effort to move up date and the professionalism assistance received. Praise God"

"Very professionl"

"Dr. Parker took the time to talk to me about his thoughts on my condition. He made sure that I understood what was being said, and allowed time for questions."

"after having 5 episodes of nose bleeds and 2 ER visits I was told he could not find a problem so he packed it and I went home. Then it started bleeding profusely again in early morning of 1/6. Called help nurse, she suggested we go back to ER again. Dubuque [REDACTED] got all going immediately and ended up with surgery to fix the problem. I am now recovering slowly."

"I have so much trust in Dr. Parker."

"Was able to get in with very short notice, which was very much appreciated. Dr. Parker was very courteous and professional. Explained what he was doing and possible outcomes"

"Tegan (I just know I'm not spelling that correctly) Dr. Parker's nurse was the absolute best! We had some follow up questions that were answered right away. Dr. Parker and his care team make you feel comfortable and you know your getting the best treatment! I appreciate them so much!"

"Dr. Parker thanks for your expertise regarding Inspire. I did the sleep study last night and looking forward to the results and what might be the next direction into Inspire!"

"Dr Parker saw me within 24 hours of calling. He has always provided me with the best medical care and treatment every time I have called. Splendid individual."

"Dr Parker was very kind and listened to my concerns."

"I know doctors do not spend a lot kf time with their patients. But my brother and said we were not even in the room with the doctor 3 minutes. Then I will get charged a bug bill that he does not gave to pay and I was told that it hopefully will be coded ( medically necessary) for either insurances to pay. Because I can not afford a huge bill !!!"

"I wanted to understand why the difference in appearance and how I might treat it without the condescending attitude. My needs were small and insignificant so I will never bother this department again."

"Polite helpful people"

"Dr. parker was extremely polite and informative!"

"Got the results I needed!"

"Dr. Parker is kind and compassionate. Excellent doctor!"

"Dr. Parker is always very efficient and extremely pleasant."

"Overall, everything went very well. The only complaint I have is I hadn't had a call from the people for the mouth guard to get my replacement. So I'm assuming the doctor put in an order or a prescription or whatever, but I haven't heard back from anybody."

"My experience was very positive."

"They were very thorough and honest"

"I was not able to get an appointment to the provider for weeks."

"Really appreciated being seen so quickly to take care of the mouth pain I was experiencing."

"The appointment was very quick and informative."

"Dr. Parker is very knowledgeable and kind. My hearing was improved 100% after his treatment."

"Well, after two years, it was kind of nice to get a diagnosis and something to do about it. So."

"In being proactive to my health, and tying to figure out how to deal with it, and from paying attention to what has happened to me as I've gotten older, old people's health. 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!"

"Dr. Parker VERY good at explaining my problem and suggesting a solution!"

"Dr. Parker was professional and answered all my questions!"

"It's healthcare. Non-professionals who work in the field seem to only see it as a "job". This shows in their level of patient service."

"I was treated very well, which I always am at Medical Associates. I appreciate everything. Dr. Parker was very, very efficient and nice, and I thank him for that."

"Dr. Parker and staff are very pleasant and informative."

"I was happy with my experience. According to my correspondence with the scheduler, I will have a barium schedule on November 3. I'm not sure if I understood the doctor correctly. He said to try the omeprazole for a month, but the barium study is already scheduled?"
