I have been a patient for 6 years. I am in worse shape then when I started. The last epiderl I got in my back has caused injury to my left side, which is where the Dr. Injected me. I would have changed providers multiple times but he kept a rotation of PA's unfortunately they didn't stay long and it was rare to see the same one consecutively. The front desk is ridiculous. My last appt. She made me wait 15 minutes to make a returning visit. I went outside and called my appointment in.

I have been seeing Dr Parmar for a little over 2 years. After a rough start,things have become excellent for me. The government has made any kind of pain control extremely difficult,you need someone to help navigate all the rules and laws involved,for me,Dr Parmar has been able to fill that roll effectively. I've had problems getting prescription filled,but mostly due to insurance practices,not due to Dr Parmar fine. He is in the difficult position of balancing patient needs with Federal regula

This is a very sad state of affairs when a Doctor who took an oath to do no harm!!!!!!!! treats his patients like he does. So unprofessional . Just read all his reviews- I would be so embarrassed if people wrote things like that about me. He could not care less nor could his staff. I am a Registered Nurse and I have never seen anything like this in my 20 plus year career. Very scary. He charted that he did procedures on me and I never even saw him.

This office just continues to surprise me and not in a good way. Every month there are issues with filling meds I need and this month takes the cake. The office called and rescheduled my last appointment to the 27th of may. Well my meds are due on may 3 but the doctor won't fill my meds because he wants to see me first. So basically three weeks without medication. They don't care about pain management Or their patients. I'm looking for another doctor. This is the last straw for me. Over it.

I was told by Dr Parmars staff I needed a new referral to continue care. My primary elected to have me not return due to the treatment I was given by Parmar and his staff. I told the receptionist I would not be returning. They ordered meds for me anyway and sent me to collections because the insurance refused to pay since I had rec'd a refill at another facility. They also charged me a no show fee after telling me I needed a referral to return! Is a no star possible?

I initially saw Dr. Paxton, who was really great. But he left on a family leave and I had several visits with Dr. Parmar who was NOT so great. This last few times he was impatient, condescending, and instead of increasing medication due to more pain, he decreased it and did not communicate to me why. And the staff gave me the run around, and was unbearably rude. The staff is really awful, especially over the phone. They are so rude and not helpful at all, especially for questions or refills.

This doctor is exceptionally unprofessional. Dr. Parmar yells at his patients and patients spouses when he and his office staff repeatedly fail to fill out paperwork correctly to have his prescriptions approved by insurance companies. He is rude, arrogant and then defensive and threatens to refuse patient care. He does not take a full patient history, has no interest in working with insurance to have medications approved. As a medical professional this behavior is unacceptable, please avoid him.
