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.

Great Surgeon
Caring, listens to patient’s concerns and a great surgeon. She keeps you informed on every step before and after surgery. Her physicians assistant is so nice and it is great to see members of the breast cancer team after surgery in one location. Highly recommend Dr Parker to anyone facing breast cancer surgery.

If you're looking for someone that is caring, concerned, and passionate I truly believe that Dr. Parker is the one for you. When I learned that I had cancer it was devastating especially when the only person that showed some genuine was the surgeon. everyone else talked about this study that study, but Dr. Parker talked to me about me and even called to check on me to see how things were going while receiving chemo. My own oncologist didn't do that!
