Patient Reviews
May 26, 2024
I am a female 81 years of age and in all those years. I never had normal stomach issues. I have been to many gastrointerologists from childhood until now. I am from New York and saw many GI's even as a child. My husband feels Dr. Parker is very cordial, intelligent and "hears you". He performed a colonoscopy on me about ten years ago. After that I understood my husband's positive feelings toward him. About two weeks ago, I made an appointment and he gave me advice. When I inquired about a colonoscopy he said I no longer (due to age) needed one. However, he took the time and listened to my rambling. He never interrupted or made me feel that "he didn't hear me". I have taken his advice and so far it works. After a lot of GI's in a lot of metropolitan areas, did nothing for me except advise me to take many tests that are costly. THANK YOU, DR. PARKER and your nurses all the best.
