Glenda Parker, MD

At an early age, Glenda Parker, MD, was inspired by her parents to pursue a career in medicine. Watching her mother provide meaningful care to patients as a nurse's aide, she witnessed first-hand the difference a caregiver can make in a person's life - and was taught to have a profound respect for a physician's role as a healer.

As a board-certified internal medicine physician specializing in primary and preventive care for adults 18 and over in Tampa, Florida, Dr. Parker provides evidence-based treatment options for everything from depression and obesity to acute and chronic disease management.

Dr. Parker earned her medical degree from Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia and completed her internal medicine residency at the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center in Baltimore, Maryland. After her residency, she continued to serve the Baltimore area, caring for veterans with uncontrolled diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia.

In her free time, Dr. Parker is passionate about basketball and regularly hits the courts with her husband and three daughters.

Following in her mother's footsteps, she works hard every day to make a difference for her patients, extending the healing ministry of Christ. Believing that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, Dr. Parker guides her patients toward a healthy lifestyle and helps them navigate through every stage of maturity.
