It was an absolute pleasure meeting Dr. Parks. My visit was thorough and I left with a plan of action.
I visited with Dr. Parks twice for problems I have been experiencing. He had taken time to explain in detail what he suspects as the causes of my problems. Unfortunately, it will require surgery however, he explained that patients that have this type surgery aren’t laid back for recovery. They’re up and about within a day or so from surgery. This works for me as I am an active person. Hopefully the procedure works out so I can my normal life activities after recovery and physical therapy.
Very compassionate listens to your corncerns!
Excellent doctor
1st appt after being sent by another orthopedic there and I didn’t even see the actual Dr I paid to see. Seen a PA who never done a physical exam or anything at all. Recommended pt and wanted to walk out the door. So upsetting
Was very knowledgeable!
Great doctor!
Dr Parks is always very encouraging about my recovery. He is an excellent spine surgeon and I recommend him highly to anyone who is experiencing back pain. He will be honest and only suggest surgery if he knows it can be successful.
Took his time, explained in plain English you could understand about what the problem was and procedure to fix it. Very professional.
I felt heard, safe, and I am SO GRATEFUL! The MA set the enviroment !!!!! Excellent
