Testimonials

Dear Dr. Parker,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your wonderful staff for all the kindness and care I was shown during my recent surgery and recuperation.

When I came to your office last summer I was almost unable to walk.  When I walked for a short distance my right foot felt as if I were walking on hot coal.  My left foot was painful, but my right foot was worse.

Today, my right foot is pain free and I look forward to taking long walks once my left foot is healed from my recent surgery.

I would highly recommend this surgery for anyone who suffers from neuropathy.  There is no reason to live a limited life when this surgery is available.
 
Regards,

Dearest Dr. Robert G. Parker,

I am writing you this letter to let you know how I feel and how you had give me back my hopes and inspirations.  Before I knew you, I had been treated by numerous doctors for a long period of time and none of them could help me heal or at least improve my condition, they could not diagnose what was wrong with me. My neurologist [name withheld], MD., F.A.A.N., referred me to you.  My husband and I are forever grateful for his care and referral to you.

Doctor [name withheld] had performed Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome operation on both my feet on Dec. 7th, 2001. The outcome was not very good, I felt the same as before.  I have suffered a lot of pain for a period of a whole year.
Further I have suffered psychologically for not having a positive outlook and no hope for recovery.
To add to my distress the Long Term Disability Insurance would not extend my benefits.   The doctors were not clear with the doctors notes and diagnosis.

Dr. Parker after the recent operation, on both of my feet, it feels fantastic, I have no pain, unlike the previous pain, that is no longer present, now I feel the healing and only the pain from surgery and it is getting better every day.  I am certain that I will recover sufficient to pursuit my former life.  My husband and I are grateful to you Dr. Parker and owe you a great deal.  It is also very refreshing to visit your office your staff they are very pleasant and professional.  We believe, that God has sent us, with the help of Dr. [name withheld] to your office and to your proficient hand and brilliant mind.

Thank you again and God bless you.

Dear Dr. Parker

I am writing this letter to you to say Thank you to you and your wonderful staff.  Although I have had pain in my top foot for years my major problem started in 1997 when my rheumatologist decided to have a piece of my nerve and tissue removed to help him determine if I did indeed have Lupus.  This surgery was done on my left ankle.  I did as requested and the surgeon of his choice did the procedure.  I was told I should put of a shoe and walk a mile the day after surgery.  My ankle was swollen so severely I had a hard time walking to the kitchen and a shoe was impossible.  I took many months and lots of physical therapy before I could wear a tennis shoe.  Part of the side of my foot and ankle were numb and the other part hurt me a lot.  I have gone to five of six doctors to try to find a cure for my foot and ankle pain.  I went to a podiatrist/surgeon in the Bear Creek area.  He treated my foot for stress fractures three or four times.   He assumed the pain in my ankle was due to the way I had been walking due to the stress fracture.   I finally stopped seeing him and headed to the medical center.  Surely I could find a good doctor there.  A surgeon that specializes in ankles and feet put a black boot on my foot that went all the way to my knee.  Being short the boot went a little higher than it should be and was very uncomfortable.  I wore it as instructed for weeks. The last time I saw that doctor he told me that he did not know what was wrong but thought wearing the boot would rest my foot and give it time to heal if I did have a fracture.  I saw several other doctors that came out and said they did not know what the problem was and could not help me.  They made me feel like they did not feel my pain was real.  So I headed for the foot doctor in my area.  He x-rayed my foot and took a look and said 'hmm.'  'Lets do some physical therapy'.  Three days a week I went in for a whirlpool soak and a ultrasound and massage.  I felt like anyone and everyone in his office did physical therapy.  Each one did it a different way.  Most therapy sessions were painful.  I was scheduled for 6 weeks of therapy and then I was to see the doctor.   My ankle hurt so bad that I did not finish the sessions.  I was told by the office manager that I had to see the doctor to be released so they could file on my insurance.  When I did see him he told me he could not help me if I did not follow his instructions for therapy.   He admitted he did not know what was wrong with my foot or ankle.  So I decided I was going to learn to live with the pain.  I had to be tough and not think about my left leg and foot.  I stopped unnessacary walking.  I used to walk down the mall and back, but at the time I could not look at Foley's from the parking lot and wonder if I could even get to the door.  I stayed home more and gained weight.  I also got depressed because I hurt so much.  All my other doctors told me I must walk and get exercise.  No one beleived how much pain I was in.  I was so desprerate to relieve the pain I went back to the doctor in my area and had that same physical therapy done that hurt me so much.  The second time was not any better then the first.  Than was December 2002.  I had just about given up on foot doctors, but in June of this year my dentist (Dr. [name withheld]) told me about you and how much you helped her mother.  And the rest is history.  The surgery you performed was a miracle.  Doctor Parker you have my permission to use photos and any and all information in my chart to help another patient or help another doctor perform this proceedure.

Thank you so much,
Donna Parker
