BAD DOCTOR!! dont waste you time with this lady. shes nuts!..., Jan 26, 2012 Worse doctor I have ever seen.. multnomah county should be EXTREMELY ashamed. She has no idea what it takes to be an intelligent and outstanding doctor. She needs to stand back and ask herself if its more helpful to do more bad then good. Very sad in |

Provided extremely poor treatment for my father's cancer..., Jan 25, 2012 Dr. D. treated my dad's throat cancer (a term he never used with any of us). Dad responded very well to chemo and would have to remain on chemo the rest of his life. (His tumor in his neck had burst and he had a nasty wound that he had to deal with, but even it was doing well as he was switched to a milder chemo routine to keep the cancer from growing. And he was doing really well with that treatment.) Dad developed a knee infection and Dr. D stopped all treatment until knee doc released him. Dr. D continued to ignore my phone calls that dad's neck wound was really looking bad, saying he could do nothing for him at this time. Finally, knee doc suggested knee treatment be put on hold so cancer could be treated. So Dad went to see Dr. D and he still said there wasn't anything he could do right now, and he refused to look at his neck when asked to (of course, dad kept it bandaged). We brought dad to Louisville for treatment, but it was too late by then. The oncology doctors in Louisville were just mortified at his neck and the treatment he had received. They found it unimaginable that Dr. D. never looked at his neck (the actual cancer) and ignored his cancer treatment during the course of treatment of the knee infection (9 weeks approximately). Of course, we are heartbroken. I only tell my story in the hopes of helping someone else. In the end, dad regretted mine and my sister's pleas to get a second opinion in Louisville from the beginning. That one step could have changed everything. I hope this review helps someone make a better choice in choosing their oncologist. |

Rip off billing codes... HORRIBLE customer service and always a huge hassle to deal with- Beware..., Nov 22, 2011 Deer family practice NEVER seems to operate smoothly... There is always an issue with Dr. Parkers CODING for insurance.... It seems that either the doctor or office staff intentionally uses codes they KNOW will not be paid by your insurance. This has happened more than once... I always feel as though I should keep my mouth shut to avoid tripping another code input into the computer system. These codes are knowingly input by the salivating doctor Parker... When you do finally get the bill, and are horrified about paying a few hundred dollars for a couple of prescriptions written in 6 min., good luck taking care of it with this office... Codes, hold times, transfers etc... Although most health offices are nightmares these days, this one is really bad... find another doctor... |

Welcome back to Lakewood, WA Good to have you in the community again..., Nov 2, 2011 NP Lennon is back in Lakewood - working with Dr. White. She is knowledgeable and compassionate. I never felt rushed or not listened to. Very thorough re: history and tries to get to know each patient. Thanks |

Do your research before putting your trust in any doctor... my wake-up call......, Oct 10, 2011 Dr. Smith has had several issues, with many patients. I was one patient, who he never followed up with, although I was having severe pain issues following my surgery. I have spoken to many people lately, who are suffering severely after he performed surgery on them. Please, please do your research before going to Dr. Smith or any doctor. If they recommend a major surgery, get a second opinion. It's always better to read up than to regret it after the fact. |
