Dr. Parks joined Rheumatology Associates in 2018 after practicing in her hometown in Mississippi. She enjoys identifying and treating all aspects of rheumatology, but has a special interest in choosing treatment for inflammatory forms of arthritis, particularly rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. Dr. Parks also received specialized training in the management of systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) and systemic lupus erythematosus during her rheumatology fellowships. She is quadruple-board certified to enable her to treat both adults and children. Because of her training in adult and pediatric medicine, she has a passion for caring for multiple family members and pregnant patients affected by rheumatic diseases.
