David Parnas,MD

My doctor, David Parnas whoelsale knocks everyone down in attentiveness, and humanitarianism. I met him when i came to a walk-​in clinic in 1999 across from (not adjacent) to McDonalds on Main ave. The clinic adjacent to MacDonalds is a whole new ballgame, not the same care i got from Dr. Dave Parnas.
Waiting for him i overheard his conversation with patients, and how nice he was to them, i figured him for a loser, (young and cynical i was). I got my turn, and showed him my scabby knee i got on a vacation trip, which was healing poorly. He gave me an antibiotic from his samples and as he was finishing up writing the script for my antibiotic, i let on that i had also engaged in unprotected sex while on vacation. Dr. Dave does an about face, and says, i wish you would have told me earlier and proceeds to tell me about the risks i had taken, not in a «holier than thou way» but in an informative manner with practical implications, writes a script for a different antibiotic which will be effective in fighting clymidia.
I left the clinic with a whole new respect for him, and a lesson in kindness. i made him my PCP. He got me on vitamins, blood pressure meds, and Lipitor, in a wholly practical way that it wouldn’t hurt my pocket. From personal experience he told me to go to Costco, where i would get 5 times as many as the same antihistamines that walmart was selling for about the same price or less. He gave me samples of very expensive meds to save me money. He has a sliding scale based on no-​insurance, and ability to pay.
Dr. Dave is an Army doctor and a Gulf War vet. He served his country in the first gulf war, and even though he has a walking problem due to his service, The military put all the pressure they could to go to Iraq chapter 2. (Thanks US Military) He was working in the walk-​in clinic to rebuild his practice which was lost when he went to the gulf war.
The only problem we found was that he gives too much of his time per client, going over medical history in minute detail. This extended wait times past the 1 hour mark and lost him some patients, but he’s a rugged individual, humanitarian, and a good guy. He’s made house calls, and was named top doc in ct.
Even though he seems like a walking anachronism, he has a working relationship with Dr. Claudia Gruss, who was profiled on a Sunday news and information program to be among the first in using electronic health records. That’s forward thinking!
