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.

A man who has earned my eternal gratitude.
After my experience with Dr. Parsons, I in no way could ever imagine myself being placed in more capable hands. Not too many people in this world would I trust with my life, but he has won that trust. He literally saved mine.

Exceptional doctor!
Dr Parsons is the best! He explained everything about my father-in-laws surgery and kept us updated on his progress. He's around all the time checking on his patients. I don't think he sleeps. He is an exceptional doctor . I wouldn't want to have open heart surgery unless he was the surgeon. We are so blessed to have him at our hospital.

Have worked with numerous cardio thoracic surgeons and from a registered nurses point of view there are none better than Dr Parsons. He is skilled, knowledgeable and professional with a caring bedside manner for both patient and family.
