        My husband sees Dr Dunlap regularly so I wanted to get a good optometrist to do my glasses check with my Fuchs Dystrophy and White Marsh is very close to our home.

        Dr Dunlap is an excellent physician. So so knowledgeable and answered all my questions and concerns in an informative and detailed matter. She is a great communicator and educated me about my eye conditions.

        Dr Dunlap-Parker is her usual awesome self. She would be the bar other providers should aspire to: she engages with her patients and explains in a way they could understand, and she's sincere in her interactions. (This is the patient's mother commenting about the visit).

        This was my first visit with Dr Dunlap although I am a longtime Wilmer patient. I was changing providers because my previous provider was not a good listener or explainer. Dr Dunlap was a great find for me - excellent listener & explainer.

        Doctor Parker reviewed my chart before she saw me. So she asked me some follow-up questions about an issue that arose earlier this summer.
