Dr. Parker believes that alternatives to hysterectomy should be the first options for women with problems related to fibroids and that hysterectomy should be a last resort.  He is impressed with the Internet as a tool for women’s education because it helps women become an active partner in her medical care.  In turn, this helps both the doctor and the patient when a medical decision is needed.  He has created two web sites to help educate women about gynecological medical conditions:   www.fibroidsecondopinion.com, www.gynsecondopinion.com.
