Dr Parks is a true treasure. I trusted him with my 3 yr old daughter 30 years ago. I was delighted to learn he was still in practice and time has only made him better. He listened attentively, asked great questions for clarification. Offered insights and finally more than 1 diagnosis!!! He is a true treasure. I hope he practices forever.
