I came in today for a follow up with Dr. Parker, but I am writing this as an assessment of all of my visits with Dr. Parker. From the first visit, through my surgery, and even at my follow up, he has been knowledgeable, professional, and very informative to me throughout the process. I am absolutely pain-free compared to where I was when I first came to him I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who is experiencing neck or pain radiating down the arm.

I've had various surgeries with Dr Parker and I will say he's the best one to go to if you have spinal injury that needs taken care of. Always professional and willing to take the time to talk to you about what to expect from the surgery. Would highly recommend Dr Parker and his team.
