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.

Shoulder surgery
Dr Parada performed my shoulder surgery in Dec. 2024 and he took up so much time explaining to my husband, my son, and me exactly what he was going to do. In the hospital he again explained everything to me and made me feel like I was his only patient! After surgery my daughter called the office about some medication and my daughter in law called about some medication and both times we received a call back shortly and the issue was resolved. Dr Parada is the most caring Dr and is the best when it comes to shoulders. The office staff are also helpful and caring. I am still recuperating, but I appreciate Dr Parada and his staff so much as I go through this!

Dr. Parada is excellent. He helped me with years of shoulder dislocation issues. He listened to all my issues and actually cared about my issues and correcting them. I would highly recommend Dr Parada for any issues with the shoulder.

Hi Tim, thank you for reviewing Dr. Parada!

Dr Parada is extremely professional, kind, attentive, and highly competent. I had a reverse shoulder replacement by him in Oct 2019. I have healed nicely. Some discomfort remains but I have full range of motion and greatly improved strength. I understand that it may take a year or more to not have any discomfort. I highly recommend Dr Parada as a shoulder specialist.

Dr. Parada is top of the line and I would highly recommend! Not only, is he extremely knowledgeable in his area of expertise, but he is also very personable and caring with his patients. He is very attentive and has never undermined any of my concerns or thoughts. After a long and very hard 7 months of neglect and malpractice, I am very blessed and relieved to have found Dr. Parada! Thank you!
