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.

Dr Parsons may or may not be a good doctor but his staff at the front desk has an absolute hatred for new patients. After confirming my appointment, I arrived only to be told that my insurance was not accepted by dr parsons. The receptionist said I had been told this in a phone message which is not true; the phone message said to call and confirm which i did. They did nothing to fix the situation, offered no apology, and refused to admit their mistakes. Their behavior was reprehensible, especially when you consider its a HOSPITAL DESIGNED TO HELP PEOPLE. Be forewarned.

I was told by my family doctor that I needed an orthopedic surgeon. A friend recommended Dr. Parsons. Dr. Parsons was direct to the point of what needed to be done, explained my options, answered my list of questions. He replaced my left shoulder and I couldn't be happier with the progress I have made since. I would highly recommend anyone needing shoulder surgery to see Dr Parsons!

Very very rude man. Kept me waiting for 1 hour and 40 minutes (and that's with a scheduled appointment). Was underwhelmed with his apology. Would let my shoulder fall off before I let him touch it.
