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.

One of the best
I have seen Dr. Paraskos for several years now. She is very knowledgeable, compassionate and takes her time with patients. There have been times when I’ve had to see her several times a year and times when I only see her once a year. She remembers everything about me and every time we meet, we pick up where we left off….EVERY SINGLE MEETING!. She truly is a gem! If she doesn’t worry, I won’t worry. I’m that confident with her! I have no complaints about office staff or her nurse either. They have always been warm, kind and caring.

Ended up at local urgent care 2 days ago. Emailed Dr Paraskos my labs and asked her to call me please. Called and spoke to her receptionist 5 times in last 48 hrs. Still no reply. Feel abandoned during a vulnerable time. Had good history with her until now. Don’t understand what’s going on

I've been under Dr. Paraskos' care for the past several years. She convinced me to go on the Dexcom CGM a several years ago, which has made a very significant difference in my ability to control my BG level and bring my A1C under 7. She recently prescribed a new, faster acting insulin (Lyumjev), which has reduced my after meal "highs" completely.

Very poor treatment by the office’s Billing department. Inconsiderate personnel who put monetary before a patient’health especially when the patient hasn’t health and insurance and confirmed that the upfront dollars would be paid once billed.

Recomiendo la Dr. Parasko por sus conocimiento, su pasiencia con el paciente , explicandole todo con claridad, le gusta investigar primero antes de someter una cirujia, el equipo que trabaja con ella es amable, y responsable.

Even though Dr. Paraskos is young by all standards, she is one of those old school doctors who takes there time with patients to explain everything. She is exceptionally caring and goes out of her way to ensure that her patients are taken care of.
