Dr. Stephen Ray Parker, MD

Thoroughly explained the process leading up to surgery and what to expect. I felt safe and sure I make the perfect choice for my care. Pain free at last! Nurse practitioner he works with spent lots of time with me as well making sure I understand everything.

Thank you Dr. Parker

I was botched by Dr. Parker in 2014. I live in pain DAILY and most of all NIGHTLY when I lay down. I can't express enough to do your homework before allowing this man to touch you!!! He will give you the "I'm a sponsored sorgeon for the Jacksonville Jags!" His bedside manners and follow up are very poor!!!Be leary!!!

I only give him a 1 for his good looks. Care is a big fat zero. Hubby had back surgery. Left hospital in severe pain. Called Dr. Parker 3 times before the 10 day post op visit to tell him how much pain he was in. NO RETURN CALL. Finally saw him. Sent hubby for X-rays. Dr. Parker said “somehow he fractured his L2. Hubby went to ER 3 times (2 by ambulance) for pain. Took him to Baptist Ear who did xray and said nothing about his L2. Hummmm. Called Dr. Parker crying, begging, pleading he admit my husband into the hospital. NO RETURN CALL. Now I’m lawyering up, filing a complaint with the hospital and state medical board. DON’T USE THIS DOCTOR.

I was seen by Dr.Parker for low back issues. I casually mentioned numbness. He preferred to do an ADCF on my neck before dealing with the back. I suffer from chronic pain daily since the surgury. It gets worst as Time passes. I am now experiencing numbness in my tungue and lips upon waking in the morning. I want him to think twice about hurting anyone else. I found out from a different surgeon that the hardware he used was too large for my frame. This has caused massive compression above and below the hardware he installed. I found out in 2018, 3 years past the statue is to sue him. I want to warn ANY person not to allow this doctor to perform surgury. No matter how many Jacksoville jaguars he claim to treat!!! Beware!! Beware!!

2 years post cervical fusion and I couldn't be more pleased- I am pain free and the scar on the front of my throat that I was so nervous about is invisible. Dr Parker assured me that he would make sure it was along a wrinkle line and he did a fantastic job.

Dr. Parker was exceptional in the time he spent to explain the images and the related symptoms as well as presenting a logical plan

WONDERFUL bedside manner!!!!!!! Explains everything in detail and listens to your questions.

I was originally scheduled to see One of Dr. Parker's partners but I was told I should see Dr. Parker for complicated neck problems....I was told right..Dr. Parker was very thorough and down to earth. I finally understood what my problem was. Surgery went great...much better than I could have imagined...I would never go to another spine surgeon again. I owe my life to Dr. Parker.

I felt Dr. Parker cared not only about me as a patient, but me as a person. He carefully explained my MRI in real words and made sure I understood the different treatment options.
