Patient Reviews
Mar 03, 2019
My husband needed a very rare heart surgery. Dr. Parker went above and beyond in the surgical technique he did for my husband. He gave my husband many more years of life than he should have had, which in turn gave our daughter a Daddy for many more years. Dr. Parker is a kind, and humble man. Working in health care myself, I heard many awesome stories about Dr. Parker and you will be blessed to have him as your surgeon. Thank you, Dr. Parker, for giving us the gift of Dicks life!
