    Yes, I had a phenomenal doctor. Dr. Parmar was interested in my problem and how to fix it. He made me feel like I was important. He is fabulous. I only waited a couple of minutes before he came in my room.

    It meant so much to me as a patient that everyone I have interacted with has been both kind and professional. I came to Dr Parmar after a devastating appt with the surgeon my PCP referred me to where I left in tears. I truly appreciated that Dr. Parmar treated me with respect and compassion. I left feeling like I had a goal and a plan - and if I encounter an emergency it's reassuring to know I have him to care for me.

    The Dr was through with explainations, he listened to what I said and based on his knowledge and my input determined the procedure. His assistant had already been advised of the procedure changes and was very thorough in explanations and answers to questions. Both were friendly and personable.

    I wish that it was easier to contact the clinic directly. Also, I feel rushed sometimes because I notice the provider looking at the watch or cutting me off while asking detailed questions. My time is just as valuable as their's, I wait months to get in to see them one on one, so I would appreciate a more genuine experience when meeting with them.

    The doctor was amazing, patient, and kind. He sat down and talked with me (and my husband) about our choices. Explained everything on detail. Answered questioned. While we did discuss weight loss options, he was the first provider that I had who didn't make me feel bad about my weight. He was very understanding.
