Dr. Lisa Parsons, DO
Dr Parsons considers Guilford CT the hometown of her youth. When she went to Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs NY, her family moved to Maine. Little did she know then what a wonderful gift this would be. She pursued her osteopathic medical degree at the University of New England in Biddeford Maine and graduated from Maine Medical Center after completing her obstetrics and gynecology residency in 2005. As a board-certified ob-gyn, Dr Parsons has had the privilege of practicing throughout the state of Maine in addition to making Maine her home.
After much time in the traditional medical model, Dr Parsons opened Higher Ground Women’s Health in the summer of 2022. This passion project was created to provide the level of healthcare that she felt women, and all humans deserve. That of combining traditional medicine with holistic options such as sound healing, intuition, energetics, and osteopathic principles. It should be BOTH. It has been heartfelt, and powerful!
Yes, there is more! Dr Parsons has also aligned with CCRM IVF -Boston. Beginning in October 2023 our collaboration brought a satellite monitoring office to Falmouth Maine. This provides patients with extended options regarding their infertility journey while decreasing the distance they need to drive to have these options! It feels so good to provide this service that includes ultrasounds and blood work to our Maine residents.
Finally, Dr Parsons continues to expand her practice and her mind by being open to all that feels aligned and is a “heck yes” to whatever comes her way.
Other interests include teaching, public speaking, scuba diving (and anything involving the ocean), travel, friends, family, bulldogs, and partner Charlie.
Life is full and it just keeps getting better. I feel like I am just getting started!
