I
love family medicine because we have the opportunity to be a huge part of our
patients’ lives, not just their health. Family Medicine is so much more than
treating conditions – sometimes the most powerful medicine we can ever give is
just our time and to let our patients know a friend is listening. I believe my
job as a physician is to simply give all the best information I can to allow my
patient to make the best decision about their health. The doctor-patient
relationship works best when it is a partnership. I am particularly
interested in LGBTQIA+ and Gender Health medicine, and I continue to grow and
learn with the assistance of all my patients in this community.

explore all that Austin has to offer. Being relatively new to the city,
she says “there’s a lot to find!” At home, Dr. Parsons enjoys cuddling
