Meet Dr. Ryon Parker

Much like the scenes from a Norman Rockwell painting, one of America’s most beloved artists who left a timeless legacy of nostalgia and endearment, I believe great medicine starts with delivering care reminiscent of that small-town doctor from a simpler time long ago.

I am a doctor and a leader with an earnest appreciation for the human condition and medical science. I have humbly yet skillfully mastered the art of medicine, building a model primary care office for health and wellness, advancing healthcare innovation to enhance the patient spirit and patient experience, while fostering an educational platform that seeks to empower doctors beyond their boundaries and traditional limitations to deliver dignified, first-class, quality healthcare for patients that truly value small-town hospitality.

My goal is not to let my presence be known, but my absence felt. There are opportunities waiting and problems to be solved. I am focused on working together to make everything that is wrong with this healthcare system, right.

And, God-willing, bearing all burdens that come with the “white coat,” wake up every day to prove I can and will do it better.

“Do what you do so well that they want to see it again and again and again.”

MORE ABOUT DR. PARKER

Growing up in a small town in Nebraska, Dr. Ryon Parker was exposed to everything a small-town doctor had to offer his patients: ownership and pride in caring for his community. When Dr. Parker set out to begin Parker Medical, he wanted to embrace the small-town feel and provide his patients with the care, respect, compassion, and attention often lost in today’s healthcare system. The physician-patient relationship is the core of Dr. Parker’s philosophy, and it is the foundation of Parker Medical.

At Parker Medical, Dr. Parker makes a point of spending at least 30-90 minutes with each patient. During each visit, he genuinely gets to know each patient individually to provide the best possible care unencumbered by the rules and regulations that contribute to the current broken healthcare system. As a concierge practice, Dr. Parker is dedicated to providing full-service, full-time medical care to each patient that is appropriate and compassionate.

Preventative strategies are, Dr. Parker believes, the way to create a healthier nation. By focusing on his patients as whole people instead of people with issues in isolation, Dr. Parker focuses on preventative care and long-term strategies for overall health. At Parker Medical, Dr. Parker believes that health is not defined by a lack of illness but rather by the joy, happiness, gratitude, and balance that one feels daily.

The most important part of what Dr. Parker does at Parker Medical is making a difference in people’s lives. Being a beacon of strength in the lives of his patients continues to excite Dr. Parker and fuel his passion for what he does. Getting lost in the shuffle of today’s healthcare system is easy, and Dr. Parker prides himself and his practice on the patient-physician relationship that is at the core of good, responsive, and responsible healthcare.

Welcome to the change in healthcare you have been waiting for!
