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.

Listens to our concerns and has us leave the office feeling heard. Easy to get ahold of after hours and in-between visits for questions.

If Parks was the last pediatrician in Humboldt County, I would go elsewhere. I would never trust him with my child much less trust his advice. He is among the worst doctors around...completely self absorbed and over-the-top arrogance.
