    Dr Parhar has been my primary care physician for quite a few years. She is very caring, asks questions, spends time with me, and is knowledgeable as to my health and any related issues. She's the best and I am fortunate to have her as my doctor.

  • Sep 21, 2024

    First time I met the provider. She showed interest in me as a person and not just a set of symptoms. Seemed well-informed. Managed be caring despite her tight time frame.
