At Ross Feller Casey, Gerald Parker, M.D., J.D., Esq., has worked on a wide array of major medical malpractice cases throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
They involved nearly all aspects of medical malpractice, from birth injuries to limb amputations, from delays in the diagnosis of cancers to brain and spinal cord injuries, from sudden cardiac deaths to over medications and complications from medical and surgical procedures.
His efforts as a doctor-lawyer have helped lead to impressive legal victories, including two cases litigated by founding partner Matt Casey:
Dr. Parker graduated magna cum laude from Juniata College, earned his M.D. from Jefferson Medical College. He trained to be a doctor at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh and Lankenau Hospital in Wynnewood, where he focused on Internal Medicine.

Dr. Parker went to law school at the University of Pennsylvania, where he provided pro bono help with Community Legal Services in Philadelphia.
Before becoming a lawyer, as a doctor, Parker focused on acute care, occupational health, and urgent care at several New Jersey hospitals, along with the Deborah Heart and Lung Center. Later, his experience as a doctor helped hospitals appeal denials of Medicare and Medicaid contractor claims.
As a doctor-lawyer based in Philadelphia, Parker is both a member of the American Medical Association and the American Bar Association. He is also a member of the bar associations of Philadelphia and Pennsylvania, as well as the Philadelphia and Pennsylvania trial lawyers associations.
