When I had to call him while on his vacation to tell him… See more

Dr. Parsons has always been great to respond when I have texted or called him regarding my husband and his hospital visits.

When our battery died in the parking lot in the summer, he came out and brought us two cold water bottles… See more

Whether it was socks, or something else, she slid off the steps and went headfirst into the nightstand. While she didn't think it was serious, after looking at it, I knew otherwise. Not knowing exactly what to do, ER or urgent care,… See more
