Slide 1 of 10
We have worked with Dr. Lindsay Parker through both in-person and telemedicine anesthesia consulting for a variety of high risk and complex cases at ORCA, and her support has been incredibly valuable to our team. Lindsay brings such a calm, collaborative, and supportive approach to case management, and her knowledge and attention to detail have helped us feel more confident managing challenging anesthetic patients. She is always approachable, easy to communicate with, and genuinely invested in both patient care and team learning. Having access to her expertise has elevated the level of care we are able to provide, and we would highly recommend her consulting services to any veterinary practice looking for additional anesthesia support on complicated cases.

It has been a pleasure collaborating with Dr. Parker on our cases at PetDERM. She is efficient and knowledgeable, and her fear free and compassionate animal care skills are impressive.
Dr. Becky Valentine, DVM, DACVD, PetDERM
I had the privilege of working with Dr. Parker for a year. Throughout that year she expanded my anesthesia knowledge in such a way that has had a lasting effect, and always came in a respectful manner. I have been able to carry forward that knowledge to other practices and, most importantly, other patients. She is an absolute delight to be around, and I strongly feel that any patient that receives her level of care is truly getting the BEST care!
Shawna-Lee McBride, RVT
Dr. Parker is an incredible asset to any DVM trying to elevate their anesthesia capabilities. Thanks to her training and services I feel confident regularly anesthetizing geriatric and super senior pets with comorbidities to address their periodontal disease. Thank you for making me a better DVM for my patients who desperately need this quality of life improving care!
Kristin Armstrong, DVM, Dominion Crossing Veterinary Hospital
I truly didn't realize how much better I could be doing for my patients until I met Dr. Parker. Anesthesia tailored to each individual patient based on their medical and anesthesia history, co-morbidities, medications, and what's available to you makes such a difference in the perianesthetic period, both for our patients and their humans. Dr. Parker is an excellent teacher with a vast amount of knowledge and experience to draw from. My time working alongside her has given me so much more confidence taking on challenging anesthetic cases and contributing to the anesthetic case as an RVT.
Ash Viveros, RVT
Dr. Parker had a tremendous impact on our patients, our team, and the quality of care we provide. She brought exceptional expertise, innovative ideas, and a collaborative approach that consistently advanced patient care. Her enthusiasm for her specialty was evident in every patient she managed and the discussions had about each case. Her clinical judgment, depth of knowledge, and ability to think quickly in complex situations directly improved outcomes for many of my neurology patients. Dr. Parker was also an outstanding educator whose mentorship strengthened the confidence and skills of my team. She empowered technicians to expand their knowledge and skills, think critically, and advocate for their patients. Her commitment to excellence and patient welfare further elevated the standard of care throughout our service, and her impact continues to be reflected in how we continue to care for our patients.
Dr. Casey Smith, BVM&S, DACVIM (Neurology)
We’ve had Dr. Lindsay Parker provide several remote CE lectures for our team at ORCA, and she has been absolutely fantastic to work with. Lindsay has a great way of explaining anesthesia and analgesia concepts in a way that feels approachable and practical for everyone, no matter their experience level. She creates such a welcoming learning environment, encourages questions and discussion, and genuinely meets people where they’re at. Our team has learned so much from her sessions, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive every time. I would highly recommend Lindsay to any veterinary team looking for engaging, supportive, and high quality CE lectures.

I worked with Dr. Parker all during her anesthesia residency at the University of Missouri. During that time, she always had a keen eye on patient care, whether it be before, during, or after a procedure. Dr. Parker always put her patients first, never leaving their side (or the side of a technician or veterinary student if things seemed like they might go awry during the procedure). As a technician, I have truly never felt more valued by a doctor for my patient care than with Dr. Parker, & I have never met another doctor more keen on educating their team (be it local blocks, pharmacology, or simply the care needs of a specific patient)! I had to have several procedures performed on my personal pets when Dr. Parker was on the anesthesia team, & she was always my choice to sit their cases. I felt like I could breathe when I knew she was caring for them! I am proud to call Dr. Parker my friend, a mentor, and someone I can always run to with a question or to find me an article to learn from!
Laken Schwarzlose, RVT
I can't say enough good things about Dr. Parker. Our department has a patient population that is predominantly higher risk for anesthesia. Dr. Parker significantly raised the safety and standard of care we were able to provide to these patients over the year and a half that we worked together. She is also an incredible teacher and greatly improved the knowledge and skill set of our staff. Dr. Parker is an excellent resource for managing difficult anesthetic cases and elevating the knowledge of veterinary professionals with a wide range of anesthetic experience.
Dr. Vanessa Holly, BSc, MSc, DVM, Diplomate ACVO
I have had the privilege of working closely with Parker for the past two years, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Parker is an exceptionally knowledgeable and skilled anesthesiologist. She is always generous with her knowledge, approachable when advice is needed, and genuinely committed to teaching and supporting the people she works with. What I particularly value is her ability to combine a very high standard of anesthesia care with flexibility and practicality. She listens to the needs of the clinician and the individual patient, and works collaboratively to develop an anesthetic plan that is both safe and appropriate for the procedure. As a veterinary dentist and oral surgeon, having Parker manage anesthesia makes a tremendous difference to me. I trust her completely to monitor and care for my patients, which allows me to focus fully on the procedure knowing that the anesthetic side is in exceptionally capable hands. That level of trust is invaluable, particularly during long or complex procedures, and ultimately allows us to provide the best possible care for our patients. Beyond her clinical expertise, Parker is simply wonderful to work with—supportive, collaborative, calm, and always willing to help. After working alongside her for two years, I would have absolutely no hesitation recommending her services to any veterinary team looking for outstanding anesthesia support.
