Report
The Parker Clinic is very good and its great that a place like this exists. The concept is incredible. 90% of the staff are above excellent in all ways. This type of clinic has specialists that are all volunteers and sometimes there could be long waits to see a specialist. The clinic works quite differently than a traditional family doctor's office and you have to get used to that. They have linkages to some other programs in the community like charity care and legal services. They help in some ways with getting meds for patients through assistance programs.
