Dr Parhar is without a doubt one of the best doctors i ever met like another reviewer said , just talking to him makes you feel better. I met him when I was in riverview with pneumonia and I’ve been his patient ever since. All I can say is thank god we have a caring doctor like him in our corner.

Dr Parhar is a knowledgeable and compassionate professional. His office staff are a bunch of rude women. There is a high turnover. You will wait 45+ minutes past your appointment time because they overbook appts. His right hand nurse is a handful.

His staff can be curt and rude. Wait times are horrible, sometimes over two hours plus.

Office staff is horrible. Inept, inefficient and rude. Doesn’t call in prescriptions to pharmacy on time. Have to call in numerous times to get blood test results. Gives incorrect information over the phone regarding test results. Ridiculously long 2 hour wait times. Doctor never returns phone calls to discuss test results. Doctor is in and out in 3 minutes. Doesn’t care. It’s like a badly run factory. Money making racket. Don’t go here. Avoid this place at all costs.

Dr. Parhar is an excellent doctor! Sure you may have to wait a bit to be seen but he is totally worth it... I have been his patient for years and would recommend him highly. His staff also rocks!!

Not much else to say. If you can get an appointment at the very start of the day, it's not too bad, but if you can't, you're looking at a two-hour (or more) wait sometimes to see the doctor. He is an excellent physician and it's worth the wait, but it can be a real pain. (No pun intended.)

Love this doctor so much that after leaving his practice for the long waiting time, I came back. He's a warm and caring doctor that you just don't see to often anymore. I'm now accustomed to waiting, but that's just a small price to pay for what I think is a fantastic doctor with great bedside manner.

The best doctor I ever had. Great bedside manner, treats his patients like he would take care of his family. Excellent diagnostic skills, and listens to his patients.
