Dr. Ruth Anne Vandelicht Parker, MD

Anne Parker treats her patients terrible and her staff even worse. I stopped going because of her talking down to me the entire visit without addressing my main concern.

My wife and I have been patients of Dr. Anne Parker for years. On the contrary to the negative reviews we have read by others, we found Dr. Parker to be nothing more than an outstanding Ophthalmologist; if your looking for a doctor that can chat with you as a friend, then she isn’t that person, however, we found her to be very informative and interesting during our brief eye exam visits.

I concur with other patients who have expressed that Dr. Anne was inconsiderate of any uncomfortableness or pain during exam/procedures, she also assumes to have the best solution without fully understanding a patient’s background or history

Anne Parker’s office send me a post card to remind me to make a visit for my 2-year eye exam. After arriving to the office, I waited 15 minutes, the nurse called me in to do some basic check- up. She asked me if I had dry eyes, itchy eyes, vision loss, poor vision at night or any problems. I said no, everything is fine. No problems with my eyes. I’m just here for a check-up. She said in order to bill my insurance she will have to write a problem on the record in order to claim insurance payment. I said my health insurance allows me to do preventative check-ups. Why do we need to make something up? I told the nurse this would be a fraud if we do that. She said, we have to write something down. If you don’t have any eye problem, I will let Anne Parker know to find something. The nurse left the exam room. I literally sat there for a 45 mins before Anne Parker showed up. The nurse left a message on the computer for Anne Parker. She wrote, “patient said there’s fraud with her… visit today”. I explained to Anne Parker that I’m here for a check-up with no problem. Why do we need to make up something or try to find something to put on my record? She said, “DO YOU WANT TO PAY OUT OF YOUR POCKET”? I felt like she was threating me. I shut up and let her do my check-up which only took less than 10 minutes. End result she said I have dry eyes which I know I don’t. That is what she wrote on my record. With this incident it clearly explains why health insurance goes higher and higher each year. BTW- due to covid she will see you with the exam door wide open. All patients next door will hear you talk and you can hear other patients talk about their problems. Enjoy! Due to the dishonesty I will not trust her or recommend anyone to this office.

I won't have my mom subjected to the disrespect, bullying, and badgering again. Three appointments, three strikes, we're outta here. Ditto the earlier negative reviews. Read 'em.

I have been Dr. Parker's patient for number of years. There have been three times in last number of years I needed her help. She saw me the same day I called and corrected my problem and excellent follow up.

I saw Dr. Parker several months ago for an exam and to evaluate cataracts. Like the other reviews, it’s all about her, how wonderful she is, and she doesn’t discuss anything with you. She talks at you, not with you. When I said I had some questions, she gave me a minute to ask and answer. Her recommendations were not sound. I went with a different surgeon who is skilled and compassionate. Be careful.

Stop right here and do not proceed with being seen by Dr. Anne Parker.I would give her a zero if I could. I just saw her today for the first time in my life. I was referred by my Gastroenterologist because she was concerned that I had inflammation in my eyes due to my Ulcerative Colitis. During this visit I was having terrible, nearly unbearable abdominal stabbing pain due to my UC. While having my eyes examined and drops placed in them Dr. Parker noticed that I was very uncomfortable and also tearing up (due to my abdominal pain). Once she was finished with the exam she ask was it because of my eyes. I explained to her (which was in my file) that I have UC and was experiencing severe pain at that moment. She asked the medication I was on and told me that a Dr she knows is on Embrel and it works wonders for him. UC is very complicated and what works for one does not necessarily work for another. So I explained what I am on and why I cannot just change to Embrel or anything else for… that matter because there is a process due to not only what is needed with my GI but also insurance and how they regulate the treatment options you must start with. I told her that my Dr. wanted to start me on Entyivo but my insurance won't start with that and that I would of needed to be on a study which would pay for the treatment... the catch is I could not be breastfeeding to be on such treatment. THIS IS WHERE IT WENT DOWNHILL!! When I told her that I was still breastfeeding my 20 month old she said 'well you just need to stop that. I breastfeed my 3 boys: one was for 6 weeks, the other 2 were for 2 weeks and they are perfectly healthy.' I said 'well they say to breastfeed for 2 years' and she said 'they who?'...in a rude tone. I couldn't even believe this!!! She's an EYE DR and is giving me unwanted advise about breastfeeding!!! She also during the conversation brought up the acne on my face like I don't know it is there. I NEVER MENTIONED MY ACNE! SHE BROUGHT IT UP. She said that I could get benzyol peroxide and sleep with that on my face and it will dry it all up. Thank you Dr. Anne Parker, but you should read the side effects of Prednisone and see that it is medication induced acne that I currently am battling and I do not need any more of your 'expertise'. I won't be back.

She made a serious error in my surgery. I was forced to have further surgery. Sine I would not allow her to perform corrective surgery, I was forced to pay out of pocket. It seems to me a huge part of the problem is that she constantly condescends and talks "at" you instead of listening. I found her impatience prior to surgery to be very risky behavior.

Absolutely the worst at keeping schedule and “bedside” manner of any medical professional I have ever experienced
