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.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Parsons
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
July 2023 I had a dry cough that Dr Parsons said should be looked @ by an ENT doctor. He got me an appointment @ a very booked office within days. When x-ray ordered by Dr Parsons in December 2022 for my husband, Jim Coolbaugh, showed a small spot on the lung, he immediately contacted a pulmonary doctor. After his suggestion didn't resolve the spot, we were sent to the pulmonary doctor. This… See more
My husband was at Dr James Parsons office complaining about not being able to concentrate, being two years behind in his taxes because he couldn't seem to organize his paperwork, something he had been doing for many years. He thought he needed to have his antidepressant increased. Dr. Parsons replied that it wasn’t depression that something was going on with his brain & that he… See more

Doctors I’ve had before were not concerned about getting to the bottom of a problem I was having . I know Dr. Parsons will do everything he can to solve anything that is bothering me. He is smart, caring and I have always felt that he will always take excellent… See more
I “knew” Dr James Parsons through a very discerning friend whose praise of his care and attention was most sincere. A few years after her death I had occasion to become his patient and I mentioned to him that we had a common connection- his face lit up when he spoke of her and what a friend she had been to him. His reaction confirmed every anecdote and accolade I had heard over the years -… See more
It was the weekend before the Thanksgiving holiday and I had 11 guest coming to my house for lunch on thanksgiving day . I came down with the crud of some sorts and emailed Dr. Parsons on Saturday to see what was going around if anything and if he thought I would be safe to have people in my home on Thursday or if he thought I would be contagious. He asked me if I could come in his office… See more
I have been going to Dr. Parson over 25 years. Not only has he been a great primary care physician but he has been a caring and supportive man whom I have trusted & respected. He is a jewel & I thank God for everything he does in his practice to keep us all healthy. Thank you Dr. Parson, please do not retire anytime soon. Doctors like you are rare.
I met Dr James Parsons at a rehab I was in December 2015. He accepted me as a patient. I found was a Geriatric & Internist Doctor. I am 71 year old and I feel I am very blessed to have him as my primary care doctor.
I feel I can go to him about any problem I have and he will do his best to help me. He is about my age and he knows how it feels to be a senior.
I really don't… See more
