"WE TAKE THE TIME TO CARE"

Parker Medical Center is now PERMANENTLY CLOSED as of 10-19-2026. Please read this website for information on transition of care and to see why we are leaving Parker.

Our usual phone number, 928-669-2225, is still active but rings to a cell phone with voicemail. Please leave a message. Voicemail messages are monitored. This voicemail is primarily for requesting medical records.

Records can be requested after we close by calling the above number and leaving a message. Records will be mailed as quickly as possible. Health Care Law allows up to 30 days to mail records from the date o. If you have an upcoming appointment, leave that date in your message, so we can prioritize sending your records.

I, Dr. Shillito, will be moving away from Parker to start a new job as a family physician with another organization. Both I and Alicia, my wife and office manager of Parker Medical Center, made a decision that we could no longer financially continue to practice as a private practice.

We did ask La Paz Regional Hospital if they were interested in taking over our building and bringing myself and my staff on as hospital employees, so that we could maintain continuity of care, both with our location and our style of care, but they were not interested and declined that offer.

Please understand my and Alicia's first choice was to continue to live and practice medicine in Parker until I retired.

Happily, La Paz Regional Hospital did agree to hire Sandra Matheny, our Nurse Practioner, Anna, our referrals coordinator and Annette, our medical assistant. We wish them all the best of luck in the future. My biller for over 22 years (also my sister), Robyn, works remotely and will be moving on to new things.

I encourage all our patients to immediately seek a new primary care provider. Options are La Paz Regional Hospital's River Health Clinic, La Paz Medical Services in Quartzsite, Walk-In Clinic in Parker, Dr. Samuel Bolivar in Parker, or providers in Lake Havasu City.

After we close, if you need refills on non-controlled medications, we may be able to help bridge your transition to a new provider. If you are on opioid medicatons, there is good news.

We have contacted Lakeside Spine and Pain in Lake Havasu City and they have agreed to see our patients who are on opioids. You will need a referral from your primary care provider, if he or she does not want to prescribe your opioids for you.

I, Sandy, Alicia, Annette, Anna, and Robyn will all miss you and wish you good fortune with your future health. It was a privilege for me to know and care for all of you, my patients, throughout my 22 years in Parker.
