Dr Parrish is one of the best physicians I've seen. He takes his time with each patient and makes sure all questions are answered fully. He keeps up with the latest research as evidenced by the information he uses in discussing my medical issues. He is very respectful of my concerns and does his best to address each one. His staff are polite and appear as though they enjoy their jobs.

Good Family Doctor listens explains your conditions, answers any questions, offers options, and always before you leave his office asks if there is any other problems or questions that you have.

I ended up switching Dr's I didn't feel like I was being cared for, I was seeing specialist in conjunction with him and they didn't work together because of this office not the specialist. The staff were super friendly and nice but Parrish seemed to brush everything off as if I was a hypochondriac, not so, I now have Epilepsy good diagnosis doc. He reminds me of an Army Doc who thinks you should tough your condition out, and you should tell him whats the matter with you. I hate to rate someone low worse than anything but I wouldn't go here unless it is a viral/bacterial and you just need quick meds to get better.
