Testimonials from patients of Dr. Parsons
Jim Parsons is always there. He delivers timely results with little fanfare. Truly an amazing man and physician. He is compassionate and sympathetic whatever the demand. I love this man!
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
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.
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
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
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
Dr Parsons has been my doctor for a number of years. Before MDVIP and since whether in country or out he has always been there for me. He gives you his full attention whether on the phone or in his office. Once he has diagnosed a problem he follows up daily th find out how you’re doing. I could not ask for a better physician.
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.
