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. Parham has been taking care of my family for generations. He is compassionate, knowledgeable, and treats his patients as family. I know that I can trust him to provide honest and effective solutions consistently. His office manager and front desk associate, Ms. Sherry is the perfect example of going above and beyond to make sure each experience is like coming home. I now bring my adult children to see Dr. Parham and recommend him to all in the area.

Dr. Parham is an excellent physician. I am a health professional and know what to look for in a physician who cares about his patients. He even follows up on you when you forget to follow up on your own health status. He is also easily accessible when you need to see him. Dr. Parham takes the time needed to exam his patients, in order, to arrive at a proper diagnosis.

Dr Parham is very friendly and helpful with diagnosis and if can’t find what’s wrong he will refer someone who can. I only seen him a few times and every time that I go to him I’m not there no longer then 30 mins. His office is very clean and his front desk receptionist is very nice. I suggest if you are looking for a long term Doctor that cares and listen to you then Dr. Parham is your guy
