About

Philosophy of Care

I chose to be a physician because I knew from an early age that I liked to help people, as I got older I enjoyed the challenge of taking care of people in a serious acute illness. I gravitated to cardiology because of the high pressure demands of treating patients with acute heart problems. The satisfaction of meeting a patient in the hospital who is having a heart attack, restoring flow to their heart and then seeing them get up and walk out in just a couple of days is so amazing. I know through our heart attack team at Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center we are helping people lead longer unimpaired lives every day. My goal for my patients is to become their physician and friend, and follow them closely so the years go by without incident and marvel as they get old gracefully!

Upon checkout, the receptionist stated she would be sending the referral out over to Intermountain imaging. 10 days later, I hadn’t heard anything, So called Intermountain, and they stated that they had never received the referral. I called Dr Parent’s office, and they said they would send it again. Odd thing, Intermountain had it almost instantly. Unfortunately, scheduling was delayed over a week, due to it not being sent on the 10th.

05/18/2023

05/05/2023

doc explained what he wanted me to do and recommended another doc who specializes in pace makers to see if I would benefit from getting another one with three wires rather than two.

04/28/2023

This website could use some work. It cancelled an appointment with Mart Parent on March 3 and then kicked me off the website. A bit annoying to be sure. Then…inexplicably, I was back on the website. Gremlins.

04/23/2023

Dr Parent is the best! He is so smart and also such a caring person.

Dr Parent saved my life and cares about me as a person.

10/12/2022

My experience with this provider was excellent.

10/11/2022

ED was filled to overflowing, not enough Doctors and Nurses on duty to process all the needs, yet staff managed to not let it affect the way they were treating patients. They stayed kind and courteous despite some rude patients trying their hardest to push buttons. Carrie and James were amazing, I don't know how they managed to stay so calm, cool, and focused given how hectic the ED stayed the whole time I was there.

09/19/2022

Overall Excellent

09/18/2022

Great doctor.

07/02/2022

It is difficult at times to get appointments with *Dr. Parent. Often referred to his PA.

06/22/2022

My issues were the results of my current primary care physician during a cardio-work up, since it had been several years since my last cardio exam with *Dr. Steve Writer, and *Dr. Writer was not taking on new referrals, hence, *Dr. Parent on [date] I had a nuclear screening test to be follow by an echo on [date], followed by a 15 day cardiac monitoring. However, when I arrived for my 7:30 a.m. appointment @ St. Al's Heart Ctr. I was informed that my appointment had been scheduled for Baker City, OR, unfortunately they could not find a window for the echo until [date].

06/02/2022

Respectful, addressed issues, offered explanations.

05/31/2022

*Dr. Parent was his usual professional & personable self.

05/27/2022

04/26/2022

Experience with the provider was good and I didn't have any complaints.

04/25/2022

*Dr. P. is always friendly, professional, informed about meds, etc. He went the extra mile and was pleased with the results of the new heart valve installed in Utah. He was scheduled for back surgery in 2 hr. but gave of his time generously.

04/21/2022

I always come away from my doctor visit with a good understanding of my condition and what is to come. I appreciate Dr. Parent and his care for me.

Dr Parent Has been my Dr for Over 20 Years and he is very good. I hope he is around another 20 !!!

03/25/2022

My first appointment was canceled with Parent's office. Parent is my husband's heart doctor, that's why I went to Parent. First appt I was told Parent's team would review heart study & call with a plan & appt. After 2 weeks my husband called back & operator said appt had been canceled by Parent's office. We explained problem & operator rescheduled me for [date]. There was no preparation for my appt.

03/18/2022

*Dr. Parent takes time to hear my concerns. He prescribed a monitor to be worn for 30 days after I reported having A-Fib in December. This will allow for him to determine if I can stop taking a blood thinner that is expensive.

11/26/2021

Visit on [date] excellent. Getting follow-up test through the office was handled poorly. Told office several times no PA required with my insurance. Basically ignored & was told they must follow specific procedures but wasted +2 weeks time!

11/26/2021

Experience with *Dr. Parent was exceptional! I would like to see some people e.g., nurse, receptionist, clerks from one visit to the next. However, the new people were well-trained and skilled. The central receptionist who answers the phone is ALWAYS helpful.

06/02/2021

Also, I asked if my insurance covered CT scan. I asked office clerk to find out. The doctor asked office clerk to find out they said 'no' not covered with out checking. Found out a month later it is covered and now I have to get reimbursed from hospital. What if I hadn't paid up front $250 - I wouldn't have received important info that my numbers are too high.
