"I’m lucky to have met and been..."
"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 "
"Very respectful..."
"Karen is not a "regular" caregiver in the sense of the word. She REALLY does care for her patients, listens emphatically and thorough in her analysis. She articulates clearly with patients and is very respectful."
"A year ago, I moved my mom..."
"A year ago, I moved my mom with dementia and heart issues into my home. We struggled to find a doc for her who was willing to take the time and truly listen, not just shove more pills down her. Then we found Karen! Yes, it’s private health care and it costs BUT it’s also the best care by far! Karen took the time to do a full history, a full exam, ordered a ton of tests and blood work just to make sure she had a complete baseline picture. She also did a bunch of “mental function” tests (first provider to do that!). She has been absolutely great dealing with mom, extremely patient and caring. No more assembly line medicine for us, very well worth the cost! "
"Nurse Karen is quite possibly one of..."
"Nurse Karen is quite possibly one of the best health care practitioner my partner and I have encountered in our lives, and had the great fortune of discovering. She provides thorough, outstanding, inclusive care with compassion and understanding. She creates a safe space and cares for the whole person. She is easy to talk to, listens carefully and I listen carefully to all that she shares for the benefit of my health and well being. Anyone would be fortunate to be in her care. She’s all sorts of amazing. "
"Very glad to have found DR. Karen..."
"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. "
"Spends the time with you..."
"Noreen is thorough and professional. She also provides compassionate care by listening carefully and asking follow up questions. She spends the time with you that you need without rushing you."
"Karen Parker is simply one of the..."
"Karen Parker is simply one of the best health care providers I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. She is exceptionally kind and listens to everything you say and takes your concerns seriously. Karen is one of those rare finds. She genuinely cares about her patients and goes above and beyond. She takes her time and is extremely thorough. You leave her office feeling confident that you have someone in your corner. She’s just amazing. "
