Deborah Parks's Online Review Report Card

Dr Parks is an exceptional Rheumatologist. She is knowledgeable, takes time for me, addresses any concerns I have and clearly explains what treatment plan she recommends. Dr Parks is a genuinely nice person and cares for my wellbeing. She has managed my RA treatment for many years and it’s been in remission for the majority of that time.

Best Dr. Ever!

A wonderful Doctor and person who really listens to me and we problem solve together, when possible……

I saw her years ago as a young person suddenly suffering from chronic, debilitating pain that she “poo-pooed” away and minimized as though I were making it up. At the time I was already despondent & devastated, trying to figure out what was happening to me but eventually discovered I had fibromyalgia. When I reflect on the treatment I received from Dr. Parks, it is disgraceful to know that this woman is still in practice. I have never forgotten the grief that she put me through at one of the lowest points of my life. It is shameful that a physician would dare to assume they know better than you about how you are feeling and the degree of pain you are in. She’s lucky I was young & naive, because rest assured I would NEVER sit back & tolerate this attitude from anyone I’M paying again!

Good doctor. Curious, open-minded, kind, calm, and she listens. She was my doctor back in the olden days, and now takes care of one of my favorite relatives.

I cannot evaluate Dr. Park in particular, but the way this whole office is run is very poor. I have been struggling with debilitating issues with chronic fatigue along with severe muscle and joint pain. I can barely move or get out of bed, cannot function at all. Well, I tried to get seen by Dr. Park or any of the physicians with Wash U Rheumatology. I called and was told I need a referral and Dr. records. They said that they did not get the records and had my physician office send again. Finally they received it and told me they would have to review this and call me for appointment. Well 2 weeks passed and then in 3rd week, I called for the fifth time. I was told then that my records were reviewed and I was not accepted as a patient. Not sure if it was my insurance or what, was not given a reason. They did not call me, I had to call them. I could have had an appointment with another Dr. by then but was waiting for Dr. Park, since I had heard that she was good and could figure out what was going on. What a terrible feeling to be rejected by this practice with no reason given and not even giving me the courtesy of calling. In the meantime, still suffering and have no way to find a new Dr. to help me.

Dr Parks is one of the most caring physicians, she always takes the time to sit and listen to anything you want to talk to her about and takes the time and care for each of her patients. Very compassionate and knowledgeable doctor! She has been a God send to me and my family!

Dr Parks has been one of the most compassionate and knowledge physicians I have ever dealt with. She takes the time to listen to you and truly cares for her patients. One of the absolute best in her field

Dr Parks is very professional and knowledgeable. No mess around doctor. Very concerned about the patient. Highly recommend her

Dr. Parks has cared for me for the past two years. Now that I am on board with taking my medication as instructed, my RA diagnoses is not so frightening and I am doing well. She is a patient, kind and very conscientious physician. She or a staff member has always been responsive whenever I have called.
