Of course, if you are unable to get the flu shot early, getting a flu shot later still helps as the virus could last through May.

After becoming a patient of Dr. Parsons I immediately recognized that he and his office staff were extremely punctual. His in office, visits are very thorough. He is very patient and welcomes any feedback and questions. During my recent clinical he diagnosed a pancreatic problem. This was done thru examining and questioning. He was proactive in doing referrals which turned out to be the correct diagnosis. During the pandemic I was required to have numerous covid tests prior to procedures. He made sure that my tests were in order and completed in the required timely manner. Dr, Parsons demonstrated his professionalism and compassion by keeping in touch with numerous phone calls. Dr. Parsons is the epitome of a professional physicians physician and I have and will continue to recommend him to anyone. NETA T.
