Patient Reviews
Aug 08, 2019
Dr.Parker is an excellent surgeon, caring and compassionate. He takes the times to make sure that his patients, and their families understand. He did my sister's mastectomy and she had never had any other doctor besides her primary care physician's so she has been through a lot of appointments, tests, oncologists, etc. and every time she goes to his office or she sees him in the hospital, he never acts like he's too busy, he takes the time to talk, and listen which is very important. I am an employee of Prisma Health so of course I knew of Dr. Parker's reputation as a surgeon and for that reason chose him and I would highly recommend him to anyone.
