Patient Testimonials

“I’ve had the privilege to talk with Dr. Parrish over the phone, and he is the only one I’d consider to refer to. I was a medical transcriptionist for 34 years, and his attitude is one like no other physician I’ve ever known. He personally called me several times regarding someone I’d referred to him, which is UNHEARD OF these days! The oath physicians are supposed to practice by is a thing of the past, but Dr. Parrish is truly the epitome of that oath”“I would recommend this surgery to anyone considering weight loss.. My health has done nothing but improve and now no longer on some of the medications I was required to take. I am more energetic and feel better than I have in years.”“Dr. Parrish was very gentle with me and answered all the questions that I had in regards to the procedure. He was very patient with me while I made my decision. I finally made my decision to have the surgery and I have been very happy since. He is extremely knowledgeable with the procedure and the follow up care.”“Dr. Parrish and his staff is wonderful to work with. Never did I feel that I was being scrutinized or put down in any way about my weight. The different surgeries were discussed and ample information was given to me to help me make a decision.”“Dr. Parrish has always been professional, caring and very thorough with the testing and preparation for these surgeries. He truly cares for his patients and it shows. He is always making sure my diet and exercise program is being followed and keeps encouraging me and gives tips and information to ensure continuing success.”
