Dr. Russell has worked with our son related to growth hormone issues since our move to Virginia…read more She has been extremely attentive to his needs, up to date on the latest research and treatments related to his condition, and a caring provider who took the time to connect with him as the patient as well as us as parents. Her nursing staff was excellent and the support in navigating the many insurance challenges was amazing as well. I would highly recommend her for any growth-hormone related needs.

STAY CLEAR OF LAROCQUE! Dr. Larocque is a terrible doctor…read moreand man. This man should be disbarred ASAP! Read all below, you'll be glad you did. I'm a Purple Heart recipient (combat wounded) from a Traumatic Brain Injury in Iraq, and was medically retired with a 100% total disability rating for amongst other things; severe hypopituitarism, causing the need to be treated for hypothyroidism, hypoadrenalism, and hypogonadism. I also have a pituitary adenoma (tumor) causing hyperprolactinoma which I also need treatment for. Dr. Larocque's "bedside manners" were atrocious! He would scream/yell within a foot in front of my face if I simply asked for reasoning of his treatment plan. Innocently, I wanted to just understand what the plan was, and he took this questioning as if someone with "Little Man Syndrome" would. He then proceeded to intensely berate me as I sat there stunned, call me names, saying emasculating things to me, say how he dislikes all military and that we are all "roid ragers" (even though during that appointment I asked to be taken DOWN on my testosterone medication, and I even was still showing hypo lab levels)... There was also an appointment where I was midsentence in our initial greeting and asking me of "how I was doing" to get a recap since the previous appointment, and in my midsentence after about two minutes into the appointment he walked out of the exam room, AND NEVER RETURNED! I had to go out of the room after 10min of waiting to see if he would return, and the front desk had to tell me that he was taking a "business" call, and that he wasn't going to return to my appointment. I was left dumbfounded; like "did that really just happen?" Also, the 5months or so I had tried to receive treatment from him, his doctoral plans made me WORSE/more hypo on all Hypothalamus/Pituitary Axis hormone systems. I was feeling more and more ill.

Specifically, he has helped me to manage chronic illnesses related to auto-immune conditions such as severe gastric issues, alopecia areata control, and weight management to name a few.

Highly recommended for anyone who desires an increased quality of life, or anyone who has felt under-served or forgotten by general practitioners.

DO NOT... I REPEAT DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON THIS DOCTOR!!!!!…read more Chances are you are looking into going to Dr. Parker's treatment center because you are at wit's end and incredibly ill. As with most (including myself) that are unfortunately in this predicament, you probably have exhausted all financial means including yours and your loved ones to find the solution to your health issues. After seeing a slew of experts from Neurologists, Cardiologists, to Endocrinologists, I knew my last effort was to try an alternative school of thought. I went to this treatment center hoping to find an answer to why my health was spiraling out of control and declining at a rapid rate. I had severe neurological issues (ranging from loss of memory, stuttering, to horrific neuropathy pain). With an exorbitant price tag of $30,000 and 3 months of IVs (8 hours a day/3 times a week), testing, injections, supplements, and prescriptions... they diagnosed me with a Degenerative Neurological Disease, Fibromyalgia, and Peripheral Neuropathy. Shortly after leaving the center, my health declined very rapidly indicating that their "treatment" was only keeping me afloat and not getting to the root of the issue. Dr. Lambert Titus Parker and Integrative Longevity Institute of Virginia elongated my recovery because he had not done necessary testing which would have alerted them/me to the underlying issues to my severe neurological issues: MERCURY POISIONING. Bottom line: I had an acute case of mercury poisoning. Dr. Parker never checked for mercury poisoning even though he claims to specialize in the treatment of metal toxicity and chelation. (Mercury Poisoning can be discovered with a relatively simple blood test). Due to excessive IV therapy with caustic fluids and not using proper protocol, my veins are now sclerosed and destroyed. He caused undo suffering, pain, loss of work, and potential permanent damage. He charged exorbitant amounts and did not provide proper care or attention. I hardly even got to speak to Dr. Parker about my care. I was given second hand evaluations via the Medical Director (and was billed the $400 hourly rate of Dr. Parker) HE CHELATED ME WITH A POISON SOURCE IN MY MOUTH...HENCE DOING MUCH MUCH MORE DAMAGE! A physician's number one duty is to find the source of one's illness. NOT BANDAID IT with months of IVs, injections, supplements, and prescriptions.

All Gilman focused on was diabetes (my blood sugar levels have always been more than acceptable and I do not have diabetes) while my thyroid function continued to decline in her care as she raised my medication but failed to switch it to any *ANY* other brand or even the brand name instead of generic. In the 6 months I went there my health worsened. My vision has deteriorated, my memory is shot (cannot remember what was for lunch yesterday or even dinner), my weight increased 50lbs with a 1200/cal diet low on carbohydrates. I have cried in their office begging them to try alternate methods or to please try different tests, different doctors but they instead accused me of lying about taking my medications. I was seen by all 3 doctors in the practices and all 3 shamed me, disregarded my concerns, and called me a liar within the practice. The wait time was about 20 minutes in the waiting room past my appointment and up to 30 minutes when I was put into a room. I often had to walk up to the front desk and ask when I would be seen because I had been closed in an exam room. If I would have known 6 months of my life and health would be wasted going to this clinic I would have never went. Gilman made me feel she was on my team when I first came to her and that she was determined to help me get better but it quickly faded when my labs didn't turn in her favor. I came in with high hopes and a PA who said she would help me get well again for my young son but it turned into a very expensive nightmare.

After I signed myself out of the hospital I immediately reached out to her through their new portal & messages left at her Town Center office. There was no response, which was very odd. Normally she answers immediately. When my friend had an appointment with her she told her of my dilemma. That day I received a call setting up a Telehealth visit for yesterday. There were answers. The new portal sends all messages to a central person at TPMG rather than directly to the provider. The practice's personnel had been working to try to learn & adjust to the new system. She apologized profusely. I'm not sure the TPMG medical group's new system is as effective in reaching the provider as the last. It was calming & reassuring after the hospital experience to get answers & medication adjustments from Dr Joshi. She returned one medication doubled by the hospital to her original doseage. An explanation was given to me about why the hospital said to greatly increase my protein from foods. Even better she gave me a standing order for regular bloodwork so this type of emergency wouldn't happen again.
