Within Atrium Health, we use survey results to better understand what is important to our patients and how we can improve healthcare experiences. The overall Patient Rating score comes from the questions on our Medallia Patient Experience Survey. Responses are measured on a scale, where 0 represents "very poor" and 10 represents "very good.” Those scores are shown as 1 to 5 stars on the provider’s profile.
Patient Comments
- July 6, 2022 Very professional, made you feel comfortable and friendly. Thanks Dr. Parish.
- July 6, 2022 Dr. Parish is a very kind doctor who always tries to put a positive perspective on things. While he will answer questions for you, he doesn’t always ask for questions and seems to have one foot out the exam room door while trying to answer you. He has a wealth of knowledge, I just wish he felt like he had the time to discuss patient’s health with them before having to rush out to the next patient.
- June 29, 2022 Dr. Parish is such a wonderful and caring and very attentive and pleasant. He made me feel great about my diagnosis and treatment. I feel blessed to have him
- June 26, 2022 Dr Parish is a knowledgeable, skilled and confident surgeon. He is kind and assuring. I would definitely recommend him to others.
- June 23, 2022 Dr. Parish seems to be a very good doctor. However, due to awful staff and very awful experience I will never return to Frye for care and will never refer anyone here. The doctor should be aware that his staff is making him look bad and causing to lose patients because of them.
- June 22, 2022 He cares about saving your life. Although I wasn't completely aware of all that would happen with my procedure I was grateful. He is afraid of possible addiction therefore he subjects the patient to unnecessary pain.

- June 9, 2022 Very knowledgeable and professional. But could take a little more time to check into patients medical referral.

My appointment was completely base off my family medical history and a physical examination.
