Dr. Scott Parker, MD

Dr Parker is a no nonsense individual-he doesn’t sugar coat your condition (s) just the truth so that you both can make an educated decision based on facts. He is caring and a compassionate MD who demonstrates a true commitment to his patients

I felt good about Dr Parker doing surgery on my back. He was recommended by another dr with Howell Allen. I am so glad that I chose Dr Parker to do my surgery. The whole process went very well. I have the utmost respect for Dr Parker and his staff.

Spinal surgery is not for the faint hearted but the long term results allowed me to resume much of my activities. Dr Parker and his team are an excellent choice to consider for spinal surgery.

I saw Dr Parker after dealing with lower back pain for years. He assured me that he could help me. He did. This was my 7th surgery on my spine starting in 1989. Scoliosis since I was young , and a bad fall from a horse when I was 11. Decades of spinal pain. Dr Parker straightened my spine as best he could with 2 rods and 22 screws on October 31, 2023. He alleviated the severe pain I was having in my lower spine. Pain so bad that I was experiencing short bouts of depression. Dr Parker is a very compassionate surgeon who cares about his patients. I highly recommend him if you need help. He will be straight up honest with you.

My last visit was a recheck of lower back surgery to make sure all is well and all is well. He is very knowledgeable and he listens. He answers questions with responses that you can understand.

Laminectomy Dec 2023. I’m a retired nurse. He was recommended to me by another nurse friend. He said that he could help me when two other neurosurgeons wouldn’t touch my back. I think he is a brilliant surgeon.

I'M A NEW PATIENT!

Dr Parker did an excellent job along with the staff of Howell Allen Clinic. The entire operation has provided incredible support from start to finish over the past 12 months of treatment. Dr Parker has provided incredible guidance along the way. Starting with a car accident 2 yrs ago, the spinal fusion now 1 yr ago I am finally doing much better and able to live a normal life again! Big thanks to everyone at this clinic!!

He is an excellent Dr. He has solved my back problems through several surgeries. All with excellent results. He is personable and answers all questions. He is always interested in my health.

Dr. Parker seemed interested in what was best for me and listened to my concerns.

He was personable and would listen to our concerns. I give him a 5 star due to my husband trust him and he did what he said he could do. Also the staff at the hospital was great when we we there. This was done close to a year so we are happy.

Dr. Parker is extremely knowledgeable about my issue, explains techniques in a way that I can understand, answers all questions as if they are all important, has wonderful communication skills, appears compassionate throughout my experience, visits my hospital room frequently, makes personal calls to my home to address any questions we may have.

Dr. Parker was a godsend for me. One year ago I was in bad pain and in a wheelchair. My surgery was about 8 hours long and very worth it. Today I am pain free and up and going great. I highly recommend him for back troubles.

Last year, Dr. Parker performed a very challenging eight-hour operation on my wife, to fuse 11 vertebrae. She had already had four vertebrae fused 20 years ago; that operation had failed to relieve her pain. At the time we came to see Dr. Parker, she had severe deterioration of several vertebrae, and had been managing extreme and constant pain for many years. Everything was done with extreme precision and care. From the time that we decided to go ahead with the operation to the time that Dr. Parker performed the surgery was about two weeks. My wife was in the hospital for a total of 12 days, including inpatient rehab. One year along, she has left the wheelchair and cane behind, can walk about 50 yards (up from 10 or so), and has dropped her pain meds by about 90%. We consider ourselves very fortunate that we found Dr. Parker

Dr. Parker has went above and beyond with the care that my mother has received before and after her surgery. This surgery was a very big deal. We are so very thankful for all he has done

Dr. Parker changed my life! I will recommend him HIGHLY to anyone needing spine surgery. And his bedside manner is the best!

I have only seen Dr. Parker once but I really liked him. I want to confirm his decisions but I have no reason to doubt them. I just want to better understand the diagnosis as I have not previously experienced physical problems in this area. However, one of the staff members was quite unfriendly both in person and later when I spoke with her on the phone. She treated my questions as irrelevant and cut me off before I was finished talking with her on the phone. I know her workload must be heavy but I didn't appreciate her attitude.

Compassionate, helped when no other Dr could. HIGHLY recommend
