Front office staff rates a 5/10. Laughing and talking with each other and not paying attention to patients at check in. Gossiping about weekend plans.

I was extremely appreciative that Dr. Parada saw me as expeditiously as was humanly possible for an urgent assessment as to damage I may have caused my reverse shoulder prosthetic after a fall.

October 22, 2025

I have had a terrible time trying to keep my personal insurance out of my workman's comp care. Terrible problems with billing and such. Billed my personal insurance for a workman's comp surgery and I am still getting personal bills for a Workers comp injury? Has not been corrected yet

October 8, 2025

5

Dr. Parada is absolutely outstanding. From the moment I walked in, he made me feel heard and understood. He took the time to carefully listen to my full history and concerns instead of rushing through the appointment. That alone made a huge difference. What impressed me most was the care plan he put together. It wasn't generic, it was thoughtful, clear, and personalized specifically to my situation. He explained every option, the risks and benefits, and made sure I felt confident moving forward. I left the appointment not only with answers, but with a real sense of direction and hope. After struggling for so long, it is such a relief to finally have a doctor who listens, cares, and creates an excellent treatment plan. I cannot recommend Dr. Parada enough.

Dr. Parada was awesome. He listens to everything you have to say. He gives you detail on what he thinks it is, the treatment. I have links had been sent to my phone. I'm an old guy. I still use a flip phone, so I couldn't respond. But he is great out of this world. I would recommend him to anybody. The staff is great. No concerns whatsoever. Thank you.

I have had several issues since my surgery. My first couple of post-op visits were good.. I developed a health issue that I felt was "no big deal" to Dr Parada. I will say Dr Overgard seemed more concerned and personable when I saw him. If I had another cause for Orthopedic surgery I would definitely request Dr Parada and Dr Overgard again. The front check in was always good.. Julia is very cparing & kind.

I have had several issues since my surgery. My first couple of post-op visits were good.. I developed a health issue that I felt was "no big deal" to Dr Parada. I will say Dr Overgard seemed more concerned and personable when I saw him. If I had another cause for Orthopedic surgery I would definitely request Dr Parada and Dr Overgard again. The front check in was always good.. Julia is very cparing & kind.

Dr. Parada was awesome. He listens to everything you have to say. He gives you detail on what he thinks it is, the treatment. I have links had been sent to my phone. I'm an old guy. I still use a flip phone, so I couldn't respond. But he is great out of this world. I would recommend him to anybody. The staff is great. No concerns whatsoever. Thank you.

Dr. Parada is absolutely outstanding. From the moment I walked in, he made me feel heard and understood. He took the time to carefully listen to my full history and concerns instead of rushing through the appointment. That alone made a huge difference. What impressed me most was the care plan he put together. It wasn't generic, it was thoughtful, clear, and personalized specifically to my situation. He explained every option, the risks and benefits, and made sure I felt confident moving forward. I left the appointment not only with answers, but with a real sense of direction and hope. After struggling for so long, it is such a relief to finally have a doctor who listens, cares, and creates an excellent treatment plan. I cannot recommend Dr. Parada enough.

I have had a terrible time trying to keep my personal insurance out of my workman's comp care. Terrible problems with billing and such. Billed my personal insurance for a workman's comp surgery and I am still getting personal bills for a Workers comp injury? Has not been corrected yet

Front office staff rates a 5/10. Laughing and talking with each other and not paying attention to patients at check in. Gossiping about weekend plans.
