My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

The philosophy of how I have practiced medicine has not changed through my career. It is based on a personalized interactive relationship between my patients and myself. I have focused on current preventive care recommendations, early detection of disease states and intervention and patient oriented treatment of those diseases, both chronic and acute. Having added qualifications in geriatric medicine provides additional knowledge to manage the complexities of older patients with multiple diseases in obtaining appropriate intervention and support services. At this point in my career, transitioning to an MDVIP-affiliated practice will allow me to continue providing the service that both physician and patient are accustomed. I also offer conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments that start on time, which may be found in concierge medicine practices.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Parsons

from Hoyt in NC February 13, 2024 for James S. Parsons, MD

My son was sick during Covid. His doctor, virtually, said it is just the flu. My doctor, Jim Parsons, during my routine check-up asked about my family. I told him about my son. Dr. Parsons said send him to me. Dr. Parsons saw my son, orchestrated his care, spoke with him daily and ultimately got him enrolled in the long haul Covid clinic. Dr. Parsons continued to follow up and provide… See more

I'm truly privileged to offer my thoughts about Dr. Jim Parsons of Raleigh, NC. He has been my primary care physician for 45 years, and this long term relationship is likely sufficient and a testament to explain how much I appreciate Dr. Parson's and value his care through the years. But there's certainly more that just the number of years he has been caring for me. It's… See more

from Jay in NC February 12, 2024 for James S. Parsons, MD

My daughter started to feel flu like I believe it was the day or so before Christmas and I reached out to Dr. Parsons who happened to be at his office and offered to have my daughter come in right then and there before he had to attend a family gathering. My daughter wasn't going to be available for a couple hours so as soon as Dr. P's function ended he called my daughter directly… See more

from Joseph in NC February 12, 2024 for James S. Parsons, MD

During a routine appointment I mentioned that I was getting divorced. Dr James Parsons picked up on my anxiety and focus on my mental health. He spent an abundance of time asking great questions, listened and offered positive encouragement. He has always been interested in what I am doing as a person. He is not just my doctor but a mentor for life. Thanks Dr Parsons

from Travis in NC February 12, 2024 for James S. Parsons, MD

My MDVIP physician, James S. Parsons, MD, became an early believer in Coronary Artery Calcium Scans. The test was not covered my Medicare. However, he advocated for my taking the test even though I had had no coronary symptoms and was an avid bicycle rider. I scored high on the test! This eventually led to my getting two stents - one at a 90% blockage and one at a 75% blockage. I know his… See more

from Harold in NC February 12, 2024 for James S. Parsons, MD

2023 was a big medical year for both me and my wife. Dr Parsons guided us the the best specialists and stayed engaged with us all the way. His responsiveness is unheard of in present day activities. My biggest concern, as we are similar ages, is that he retires before I die.

from Sharon in NC February 11, 2024 for James S. Parsons, MD

There isn’t one thing that makes Dr. Jim Parsons special. It’s just everything. He makes me feel safe therefore I feel that I can discuss most anything with him. He enjoys being a doctor and enjoys his patients. He is calm and generous with his time and information. He is just the best. A modern day Dr Welby.

from Charlotte in NC February 11, 2024 for James S. Parsons, MD

My doctor, Dr James Parsons, in Raleigh North Carolina, is the most caring and empathetic doctor I have ever met. He hears every concern I have and deals with it within minutes of my contacting him. Not only does he listen, but he finds the time to research whatever is my concern. AND if his schedule is already 100% booked, he phones me and says to just come in at opening time on whatever… See more
