I was pleased with my first visit with Dr Parks. Wish I would have come to see him months ago. I didn’t have to wait long for him to see me either. His manner when he came in the room was great, the way it should be. Hard to find good doctors after they have been practicing for years. They seem to get complacent and forget how the patients are feeling. I’m glad I came to see him and ready to get my hip fixed.

Very minimal wait time for my visit, and Dr. Parks takes a very practical approach to managing my knee problems. Parks did a great job on my total knee replacement for my left knee, and if/when the time comes for my other knee, I will be happy to use his services again.

Dr. Parks has performed both of my replacements and a knee replacement. He did an excellent job all three surgeries. The recovery went well on the first hip A few months after that replacement my other hip had to be replaced arthritis has taken a toll. The surgeries have all been done well. Unfortunately I have Multiple Sclerosis and the second hip and now the knee replacement have been a challenge to heal however Dr. Parks and his Team has provided great attention and support to the challenges that have happened at no fault of the procedures. I truly appreciate and recommend Dr. Parks and his Team to anyone needing orthopedic care.
