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.

Excellent psychiatrist
I met with Dr. Parker for an hour on the first visit. He listened carefully to me, made a diagnosis, and prescribed a medication that helped me greatly.

He deserves zero starts. Just wants to drug you up and not help you even though he knows antidepressants have a 50% placebo effect. He also refused to take over all of my psychotropic medications one of which is benzodiazepines which I want to taper off. Tapering is dangerous can cause seizures and even death he washed his hand of dealing with it, He instead told me to get my naturopathic doctor to deal with it. Unprofessional and unethical. He took an oath that he completely broke. Do not go to this Dr. I will be reporting him to the medical board!

DO NOT GO TO THIS MAN. HE WORKS FOR WORKERS COMP. I was mandated to see him referencing spinal stimulator. He gave me the personality test and refused to input all my surgeries, needless to say he noted pain was in my head
