Dr. Wendy Joy Parker, MD

Saw her for the first time because I needed a new doctor as my old one left the practice I was seeing in Boston. She spent most of her time in her office with me asking questions. The shortest time with me was my physical exam -- and when I had questions about an issue she dismissed me and rushed me out of the room. Said nothing wrong with me - I don't think she was even paying attention to anything I said. Also had to fight her to get some tests done for concerns I had -- and also told me I don't need to get a routine physical every year, don't bother. Shocking - as I think it's good to be monitored every year to prevent future health conditions. Looking to switch ASAP! She needs to retire.

She's changed: just rushes, rushes, rushes through. I feel bad for herbut worse for us patients. Never wants to run any tests, except the yearly basics. I thnk she's been pressured by insurance co.s. She's impatient and unsympathetic and more concerned with how the other doctors see her.

Worst care I have ever received, after waiting 50 minutes in the waiting. Dr Parker saw me for two mintues and misdiagnosed my sickness.

She is a terrific caring physician. Her extra effort has been wonderful & in one case, extremely important to our care.My wife really love her.

Dr. Parker is rude and did not even care about how I was feeling or what was going on with me. I went in due to a horrible cold and insisted I get the flu shot, when I refused she said well I can't help you anymore. And left the room. Bedside manner non-existant

She misdiagnosed a tumor that I had in my neck - repeatedly told me it was a swollen gland... no follow-up at all... she left the practice abruptly.. I ended up switching to another MD in the practice who immediately referred me to a specialist for proper diagnosis and treatment...

The front office staff acted as though their paperwork was much more important that speaking with patients. Each time I walked in they behaved as though I was putting them out because they had to stop what they were doing when I came in for an appointment. Interactions with them felt very cold.Dr. Parker seems very experienced and knowledgeable, but has a fairly stiff bedside manner. She seems anxious to make a quick diagnosis or pass patients off to a specialist as fast as possible. Many times she jumped to a diagnosis or referral even before I really described my symptoms. I wondered why I even went in. I much prefer the other doctors in her practice, but I didn't want to switch to one of them because of the front office staff, and decided to go with a different practice.
