Dr. Joel E. Parker, MD

Well, I didn’t see Dr. Parker at this place, but he was my first psychiatrist when I was first diagnosed around 1990 +/- . He was a resident psychiatrist at the University of Colorado Medical School. I just happened to remember him this evening, and thought I would look him up, and see if I could find him—-ta-da, here he is!!! He was very good. Cared a lot, and accurate diagnosis——good thing I am all better from that. Thank you so much for all you did, Dr. Parker!! And, hey, if you graduate again, and take off on me, you are going to have it coming, buckO. LOL ????!!

I went to Dr. Parker for years and wouldn't go to anyone else. He is good at what he does and is to the point. He is professional, easy to build rapport with and if you see him long enough has a sense of humor. He is one of my favorite doctors and would highly recommend him. He cares about his patients and takes the necessary time to figure out what's going on.

I was very, very sick with thyroid cancer. I needed another medical doctor involved, because it appeared my endocrinologist was dragging his feet, not caring for me properly, and needed a wakeup call from another physician. So, I did not want to see a Master's level therapist, I did not want a psychologist. I wanted a psychiatrist to sit across the table from me for 45 minutes and explain the thyroid gland. Dr parker did. He was very easy to talk to about sensitive matters, he was professional, and he broke medical terminology down into layman terms. He did jump into the corner of the endocrinologist for a brief moment, however, I soon redirected him out of there. I kept him focused on me, the patient, and I kept him busy with my hammered questions. I would recommend him.
