Dr. Parnell was awesome! She can walk in a room and treat you like she has known you your whole life. She is very sweet, kind and understanding and will try with all she has to make you as comfortable as possible as well as get answers to any question you may have. She is a great doctor.

Dr Parnell is an amazing Dr. She approached our illness in such an aggressive but positive way. We could never say enough about her ability or personality. She was a great blessing to us. Could have searched the country for a physician and never found one better. Thank you Dr Parnell

She was very rude and disrespectful to the hospital staff. I overheard her belittling a nurse on the phone for simply calling her, and then she seemed proud of herself. I was not impressed.

She is mean to nursing staff and try's in any way to be little them regardless that the RN is trying to do their job and provide the best care to their patients. She is aggressive and rude. She only cares about her wealthy patients opinions of her.

Was disapointed in how she gossips about the nurses. She should be careful about slander and hanging out with the hospital staff. They are not her friends as she thinks they are.Am afraid she might disclose information about her patients the way she does the nurses. Also dresses in a provacative manner while on duty.
