Thank you!
I had seen a specialist so she inquired about that and was their any new testing / meds change. I also felt I had a UTI and she arranged for a "" dip stick"" test in the clinic so I didn't have to go to the lab. Test was positive so she prescribed antibiotics. I know the extra time probably put her behind on her other patients but she never made me feel rushed
My wife now is a patient.
Actually enjoy talking with staff about my care and concerns
I was feeling more like myself within 24 hours. Still on the mend, however
Appreciate the time spent listening to my concerns and the different options offered. Thank you for being so compassionate
Nothing I can think of now.
I would and have recommended her to friends
I've only been with them a short time. I like them so much that I'm paying a monthly fee in the marketplace to keep them
Always asking what I need And how I feel . Is very patient .
Great
You guys do a good job?I would recommend the facility anytime to family and friends. I'm really pleased with The doctors and all the staff!!
I am grateful for the time and attention and explanation of NP Parra.
Thank you for your kindness and attention.
Excellent work
Great job!
Great experience!
Excellent job
Pleasant, knowledgeable visit
Perfect!
I think there is basically a perfect model of practicing medicine in my experience with her and the entire facility. I can’t think of anything to improve on honestly
Exzellent
Ex: I mentioned twice that I was having diarrhea and even that I had it before coming in while in the waiting area yet my notes from the session say I don’t have that symptom.
Excellent Care!
Great provider
Very satisfied
D. Parra calms her patients by explaining everything so the patient understands.
Provided excellent care and listened to my concerns.
all good
She was straight to the point and very professional.
I need refills on my meds that a Nurse practitioner isn't comfortable refilling. I am waiting almost a year to see a real doctor.
Very pleased with her knowledge and bedside manner
I was treated on an emergency basis by a NP of unknown experience
Treated me as a person & listened to my issues.
I highly recommend her as a PCM.
The best doctor I have ever had. And her sweet nurses.
She is very caring and answers all my questions and concerns. Have referred her to my Mom and Daughter
Great
Bedside manner is very good.
Just excellent
all good
Knowledgeable and concerned
The physician went over my blood tests results in detail and was very patient oriented.
She was excellent!!!
Very kind and personable. I felt relaxed and listened to. Glad I have established with her and have recommended her to other family members as well.
Hope she stays around
I feel very comfortable talking to Dr. Parra. I am happy she is my provider.
She is like no other doctor I have been to. She is so nice and takes the time to explains things. I would high recommend her and her staff.
Just keep doing what y'all do.
Really listened and very helpful.
My provider was very sweet and made me feel comfortable
She is so cute.
Dr Parra cares about her patients concerns ! Extremely. Satisfied!
Keep up the fantastic work !
Hate your on line notification system to get a reminder. Prefer a simple text with the message rather than having to log in to see it’s only an appointment reminder! My husband receives everything double!!
She is a very professional. I like her.
I think the volume of patients they see makes it hard to establish a connection. The np was straight the to the point and move on to the next. Respectful. I think the admin needs to recognize these providers are not robots either and maybe doing the best they can with the excess volume they see. Overall ill see this provider again she did her job quick and was nice.
Great
No confidence in her.
Excellent !
N/A
Very nice
She explained everything really good Very pleased with her.
Overall great experience
Everyone I had contact with was very professional and caring.
Everything was great thank you
Thank you for listening and sending out the referrals as quickly as you did.
Great experience
I think they are finally getting it together. Like my new Dr. very much.
Please continue to provide this level of care.
Nice staff
No.
I was very comfortable with her..Also she was very knowledgeable
Very pleased with all recommendations except really wanted to do blood test now instead of 3 months later since my kidneys are declining rapidly and it's already been 3 months since last test. But I guess she knows what's best.
You may call me for a detailed explanation
The provider was nice and helpful. I felt like she listened to me and will be easy to work with in the future.
I very highly recommend
Arrogant and refused to listen. Apathetic and refused to care. Unknowledgeable about medical conditions.
Very informative and thorough and caring for my health
After blood pressure got referred to ER. Someone made a mistake on the referral and wrote HBP and it was low BP. ER Dr caught it.
Some additional training in patient interaction is in order. And a little more humility wouldn’t hurt.
She did good but like said so needs to look at the Patient more than the computer. I know it was my first time to meet her. It makes a patient a little more comfortable at the Doctor's office when we are a little nervous anyway
Thank you.
Thank you
Maybe she was having an off day
Like her to be my doctor.
Debra shows true concern. Listens and does not mind if I have a question. Explains things very well.
She needs more experience and really should listen to patient who knows her own body
Excellent medical care
