    "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!"

My team has taken my concerns seriously and have helped me find the best answers to my continuing complaints. Dr. Parker and his staff have been amazing to work with. I am so appreciative of their expertise."

    "Dr. Parker has great bedside manner. He was very sweet to my son and thoroughly explained what he thought might be the problem and how we could determine the root issue and treatment. Previously we saw a provider at another practice who was a bit arrogant and condescending. Dr. Parker was a breath of fresh air and we will be sticking with him going forward. Thank you Dr. Parker!"
