Testimonials

"I am writing this testimonial with immense gratitude and appreciation for the exceptional care I received from Dr. Parnell. After navigating through the challenges of Lyme disease and consulting with 27 different doctors, I can confidently say that Dr. Parnell is a true lifesaver.

Prior to meeting Dr. Parnell, my journey with Lyme disease was marked by frustration and disappointment. The 27 doctors I consulted with before him either misdiagnosed me or dismissed my symptoms, leaving me feeling disheartened and without a clear path to recovery.

From the moment I stepped into his office, Dr. Parnell's approach stood out. Unlike my previous experiences, he took the time to truly listen to my concerns and symptoms. He didn't dismiss my struggles or brush aside my symptoms; instead, he made me feel heard and understood.

In the realm of healthcare, finding a doctor who genuinely cares about your well-being is a rarity. Dr. Parnell not only demonstrated a deep understanding of Lyme disease but also exhibited a level of compassion that goes beyond the standard expectations. His commitment to unraveling the complexities of my condition and tailoring a treatment plan specifically for me was nothing short of remarkable.

I also want to highlight that Dr. Parnell's expertise extends beyond my personal experience. He has been instrumental in helping multiple family members who, like me, were dealing with Lyme disease. His dedication to the well-being of my family is a testament to his passion for making a positive impact on the lives of his patients.

Dr. Parnell's expertise, combined with his compassionate approach, provided me with the support and guidance I needed during an extremely challenging time. I am grateful for the genuine care he extended to me, and I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Parnell to anyone seeking a doctor who truly makes a difference in their patients' lives.

Thank you, Dr. Parnell, for being the beacon of hope and healing on my path to recovery."

Sincerely,

Elise Berry

Dr. Parnell has been a Godsend and he is truly a blessing sent from God. I truly believe if it wasn’t for Gods grace and Dr. Parnell, I would not be here writing this letter today. As I write, my heart is full of gratitude and my eyes with tears. I have been chronically ill most of my life with undiagnosed bartonnela co-infecion of lyme disease / mitochrandria dysfunction. I had and have many unusual symptoms that don’t check the correct boxes of medical criteria, but Dr. Parnell helped me put the pieces together. With his medical and holistic approach for my health, I am living with a better quality of life. I am a complicated case and its has been a long health journey, but Dr. Parnell has never given up on me. With each visit he takes his time to examine me and to listen how I am doing. He genuinely cares. I live in Northwest iowa and travel 2 ½ hours just to see Dr. Parnell. I am so blessed that he is continuing to practice medicine and start this new practice.

To whom it may concern: At the beginning of this century, I had severe health problems: cancer, hepatitis C & “softball” sized stomach tumor. My doctor told me, at 50, I had the body of a 65 year old.

I was recommended to Dr. Steven Parnell. I started seeing him in 2010. He did DNA test, blood tests and many other tests… including tests of my cell wall functions. Since 2010, I’ve been on a protocol of phospholipids evening primrose, minerals, antioxidants, oxbile, and other methyl boosts, etc.

When my body functions were tested, when I was 65, I had the body of a 60 year old.

"Both my daughter and I were treated for Lyme by Dr Parnell. I became a patient of Dr. Parnell after seeing improvement in my daughter.

I had an additional issue with the (Covid) vaccine complicating my treatment. Before treatment I was very limited in physical activity to the point my muscles just shut down. It took me hours to recover. Various areas of my body were painful to touch. It was difficult finding a position to sit or lie down without pain. If something fell on the floor I could not bend down to pick it up. If I was on the ground it was extremely difficult to stand up.

Before finding Dr. Parnell, other specialists identified and treated specific symptoms but did not find the root cause. There was a limit to what doctors were willing to do. Anyone who has chronic Lyme knows how debilitating it is and how the medical community does not have an overall treatment. For me it was a one year journey to healing. My daughter’s journey was longer because of her struggle long before finding Dr. Parnell. I measure success by being free from pain and fatigue.

Dr Parnell’s holistic whole body approach worked for me. It took many visits with many blood and urine tests and physical probing to determine progress. The tests uncovered many areas areas of imbalance that he prioritized. The first 6 months for me was getting rid of toxins built up in my body, especially a high level of mercury. The next 6 months involved various meds to attack the lyme bacteria. Dr Parnell explained that some of the meds would have painful side effects while eliminating the bacteria. All of the side effects eventually went away.

My daughter and I both kept logs of our treatment and results along the way. As you get better it’s hard to remember how bad it was or to recognize improvement because it seems to take so long. Dr. Parnell used this information to tailor our treatment plan. Mine was slightly different from my daughter’s. He took the time to question and listen to us at every appointment . He made sure we understood the treatment and what to expect. He kept in touch by email and phone as necessary. At no time were we at a loss for the next step. There was no silver bullet medication but a series and combination of meds taken over time between visits. He adjusted and changed the meds that were causing more pain than necessary. He made no promises but gave assurance that he would stay with us to a positive end. He gave a rough estimate on when we should be done, however it is different for each patient.

For me, it’s be great to get on with my life again. I am off of all meds."
