Parks noted for growth

Parks Dermatology Center has been recognized by the University of Florida as one of the fastest-growing companies owned or run by alumni in its inaugural Gator 100 program.

Dr. Jeff Parks, president, received the recognition on Feb. 6 in in Gainesville. There are two centers in Ormond Beach, one in Palm Coast, one in Port Orange and one in Orange City. There are four doctors and three physician assistants.

Spokeswoman Gina Burdi said they added centers because they get patients from throughout the two counties who would say they wished they had a closer location. “We don’t want to get too big,” she said. “We just want to make sure we have coverage of Volusia and Flagler. We want to keep a family atmosphere.”

Gator 100 is sponsored by the Warrington College of Business Administration. Invitations were sent out to apply for the award, and growth rates were calculated from 2010 to 2013.
