Nathan J. Parker, MD

I have been very satisfied being in the care of Dr. Parker. He listens, tries to understand all the issues and how they are related, make notes, empathizes, and comes up with plans that may be best for my treatment. My only issue is that I booked my appointment months ago and I could only get the August appointment which was via telecommunications, which I'm ok with, but there weren't any physical appointments. I was in the hospital for three days and needed to see him much sooner. Thankfully I was able to seen by another physician. Other than scheduling, my experience has been really good. It's a wonderful feeling to have a doctor who actually listens to me. I wish he was my General Practitioner. That would solve ALL my issues!

All good

We need more specialists. It is very frustrating to try and schedule with pretty much any specialty physician at Swedish, pulmonary and rheumatology are particularly awful. You have outstanding providers who are squeezed too tight on time. I had to wait 3 months for an appointment, and I'm a returning patient.

The doctor was helpful with needed info.

Dr Nathan Parker is one of the most excellent (intelligence-wise, knowledge of his specialty) that I've had. He is a great representation of what Swedish wants in their physicians, since he has the ability to fully review my RX's, any medical changes, he verifies on the computer in front of me (just to be sure) with most since I'm on an MAOI. Dr Parker doesn't use "medical jargon". I don't think the famous person who died recently from a sinus infection leading to pnuemonia, would have died, if he'd had Dr Parker as his Pulmonologist. Dr Parker doesn't preescribe chest Xrays when unnecessary, yet when there is a history of lung nodes, cancer, and I haven't responded to antibiotics, he orders one when it's medically necessary. Most important, Dr Parker has integrity and is a kind human being. He is nice to his family, which does make a difference to me, when I select a physician. It is a reflection of their moral code. Dr Parker is also wonderful and keeping my PCP in the loop, and helps so much, in allowing Dr Thomson to transfer my Pulmonary care, focusing on my diabetes and other health issues.

Always good experiences.

Dr Parker has helped me so much. I have the greatest respect for him.

Dr Parker is a terrific doctor. He's familiar with my health history. He answers all my questions thoughtfully.

I have a chronic lung condition. Dr. Parker scheduled this visit because he wanted to check to see if my condition had changed materially. Also I just finished a physical therapy class designed for people with my lung condition and we talked about that experience. I felt it was helpful. Dr. Parker listened to my opinions about the class and my overall condition. Since it seems like my condition is relatively stable, we setup an appt in 6 months with a lung test to see if my condition has changed.

Dr. Parker cares and is a great doctor.

Very impressed !

Dr Parker completely knows the patient's specific medications for all health conditions. He takes all my health issues into mind when deciding how best to tackle my ailment. He discusses why or why not a certain medication is needed, or when it would be needed. I know he has lots of patients, but I do feel like his only patient. He's not "rushed", he's calm and very professional. Dr Parker is also a very great human, to his family & I respect him as a person & a doctor, very highly.

I have been very happy with all my care givers at Swedish

I appreciated that Dr. Parker reviewed a medication I've been using and suggested reducing the dosage as a precaution to avoid side-effects. He wrote the new prescription and suggested that I pay attention to any change in effectiveness. He made me feel welcome to contact him any time with concerns or questions.
