Firstly Karen and now Christina have been wonderful Nurse Practitioners—dedicated, compassionate, people-centered, and problem solver. I’ve had better care and answers in last year with Compass... than I have had in previous 20 years. Because of that I’m starting my 2nd year with Compass. I joined Compass, as I didn’t feel heard or seen by previous providers. So, I was willing to try something new. And I’m glad I did. At first, I didn’t understand the role of a Nurse Practitioner and was worried my care would be limited. I was completely wrong. The quality of my care drastically increased from traditional primary care physicians. And the places where I go for additional testing, ultrasounds, or referrals, seems to be places I’ve never heard of before—but covered by AHS. They all offer a similar level of care. Christina listens with problem solving ears to hard things. While she is empathetic, she’s a realist. She doesn’t give pat answers or say things to appease. Even though she brings decades of experience, she isn’t afraid to say she doesn’t know, but will find out. Then she follows up. Christina celebrates wins—even small ones. Christina is brings her humanity to work. She isn’t afraid to be her wonderful self. She’s kind, curious, smart, professional, and funny. It’s refreshing to see a provider be authentic. I also appreciate, Christina walks me through what literature says, so we can learn together. Christina combines knowledge, experience, and humanity to make one of best practioners, I’ve ever known. I highly recommend. read more read less
It has been one year since I became a client of Compass Health with Karen. It has been an amazing journey of navigating a complex... health situation. Karen has been incredible helping me find answers; not sure where I would be without her as prior to her I was falling through the cracks. Shoutout also to Tamara who is very good at organizing bookings and keeping things moving, such great support. Alex , in the back office also provides great support. Everyone is very caring and compassionate and I truly feel like I matter. So looking forward to this next year and finding more answers to a healthier life. read more read less
Karen Parker at Compass Health is an exceptional practitioner. Karen helped me navigate a complex healthcare system that my family physician also found challenging. She has... a strong understanding of healthcare pathways, is highly knowledgeable, and is particularly well-versed in women’s health. This is not about private versus publicly funded care. It is about a highly skilled and capable practitioner who advocates effectively and drives meaningful outcomes. When I was advised to “wait for failure,” Karen encouraged active participation and problem-solving, which led to resolution. If you want to be involved in your care, clearly understand your care plan, and see measurable results, this is it. Karen doesn’t just coordinate care, she empowers patients within it. read more read less
I’m extremely happy with Compass Health. At first. Karen met me virtually. Then accepted me into Compass health. Karen and her... staff work diligently trying to get me into appointments quick and timely. I was through the echo already and ultrasounds on my heart way before the public sector even acknowledged the referral from my original family physician. Having Karen on my side and her knowledge of cardiac issues means a lot to me and my family. I’ll be continue using her service as long as she will have me. Thank You Karen and all the staff from the bottom of my heart. Literally. read more read less
Very glad to have found DR. Karen Parker. She’s extremely knowledgeable and compassionate, and while I am sure she provides incredible health care to all... of her patients regardless of gender, thank goodness for someone who takes women’s health seriously! Tamara is also incredibly helpful and with my schedule being all over the place is fantastic at accommodating me. read more read less
I’m lucky to have met and been accepted by Karen Parker. She is an incredible provider. I have received exceptional care from our first meet... and greet. I’m relieved and hopefully for the future under her care. The entire team is fantastic. I feel the value is priceless for the amount they charge for a year of private care. I have already felt more proactive appointments and testing has been set up for my concerns in the last three months, then anyone else has looked into or booked in the last 5 years. Private care is the way to go, I feel supported and looking forward to years of great health in my future. Carol Scott read more read less
