He was very rude and creepy. He made me and my parents feel very uneasy and uncomfortable. He came in the room angry from the start and we could even hear him throwing things around when he left the room. We all looked at each other in disbelief watching a grown man behave so oddly and erratically for unknown reasons. Rather scary. He seems to have anger/personal issues and shouldn’t take it out on his patients.

Dr. Parker is always going to be my preferred Spine Surgeon in Huntsville Alabama and for most of my referrals that I make from the southern middle Tennessee area because of his superior outcomes. He is also a very nice guy!

Nothing more. Nothing less. He spent the MOST impressive 45 seconds listening to me. My job sent me here, otherwise I’d be scheduling with someone else.

Very personable. Explained problem & was very upfront how surgery would fix my back problem but because of my age recommended injections & wearing a back brace first.
