The "Doctor" didn't spent enough time examining my husband; was quick and didn't even check the labs that he had access to through the baptist system. The Doctor and his team were supposed to make a follow up for a special examination for my husband and it didn't happen. We are tired to call them and cherry on top we have received a letter from our insurance stating that the "doctor" charged us $358 for doing NOTHING! Not recommend at all! Worst service ever and especially because he said that he accepted bright health and now we got this! Such a fraudulent service!!!!

Dr. Parra just recently began treating my daughter for Crohns and in the short time that we have known him he has been an integral part of her recovery and we feel that he is truly on our team. He listens, explains, recommends, answers calls & emails, educates and genuinely cares! His staff is equally responsive - I can't tell you how many times I have had to call the Galloway office and his assistant Mari is always there for us to answer any questions or help set up appointments, help with prescriptions etc. It's not fun to have a child that has this illness - Dr. Parra makes this easier to bear as his goal is the same as ours, to get her healthy!

I can't recommend him enough, he's done marvels for me and my health. Dr. Parra is by far the most understanding, caring, and gentle doctor I've ever met.

Absolutely no attention or follow up. Good luck getting 5 mins of facetime even after spending thousands with this guy. WORST OF ALL, PRESCRIBES IMMEDIATE HIGH DOSAGE TO PPIS CREATING A DEPENDENCY FOR LIFE - DO NOT FOLLOW HIS ADVICE FOR YOUR OWN GOOD!!!

I requested that the colonoscopy be performed without sedation and Dr. Parra was about the only medical professional I spoke with who had no problem with that. As expected, there was some strong abdominal cramps as the intestines were filled with air but nothing unbearable. It was amazing seeing the procedure and the extraction of two polyps. Thank you Dr. Parra for this experience, for listening, for instructing, and for valuing my opinion. To those 8 other medical professionals who said no or attempted to persuade me to use sedation, please realize that NO sedation is quite normal outside the US.
