                                               About Dr. Parker


     I have been practicing Internal Medicine since 1981, when I graduated from medical school at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center.  Internal Medicine involves the diagnosis and non-surgical treatment of adults. From 2003 to 2009, I was a member of the clinical faculty at Midwestern University, Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine.

     For the first 16 years of my career, I was an office-based primary care physician. I continue to practice medicine full-time, for the last 11 years as a hospitalist in the Phoenix, Arizona, metropolitan area. Hospitalists diagnose and treat patients in the hospital setting only. In a typical day, I might see heart attacks, strokes, out-of-control diabetes, pneumonia, skin infections, broken hips, chest or abdominal pain, severe high blood pressure, kidney failure, and urinary tract infections.

     As you might imagine, I have been working with overweight and obese patients for the duration of my clinical practice. Excess weight contributes to disability, disease, and premature death. I am absolutely convinced that better diet and lifestyle choices can help individuals—overweight or not—live longer, healthier lives. 

     I share my accumulated knowledge through blogging and books:
The Advanced Mediterranean Diet: Lose Weight, Feel Better, Live Longer (2nd Edition), Conquer Diabetes and Prediabetes: The Low-Carb Mediterranean Diet, and KMD: Ketogenic Mediterranean Diet.

     My current research interest is the Paleolithic diet as a treatment for diabetes.  You can follow the evolution of my thoughts at the Paleo Diabetic blog.
