Hector J Perez
This process was seamless and well worth it. The doctor reviewed all my medical history and they even requested additional health clarification before issuing the certificate. Staff was professional and helpful. Great company.

E C Yazici
ParkingMD is the best! I never understood how to get a handicap placard and they made it seamless and so easy!! Answer a few questions and speak to a Dr and they make it so simple. They explain everything from A-Z in layman’s terms. Easier than dealing with a Dr’s office.
Terri Marie Dunigan
ParkingMD.com made the whole process incredibly smooth and stress-free. Their team was responsive, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled quickly and correctly. I walked away genuinely impressed.
Vanessa Guest
Entire process from end to end was painless. Felt heard and validated – the people working for ParkingMD mean less appointments going back and forth to specialists/trading paperwork and instead centralizing the process in one place. Strong recommendation for experience.
Elizabeth Jaye
ParkingMD was a breeze. I was able to obtain a handicap permit without having to go to my Doctor. It was totally worth the savings. I used AAA rather than the DMV and that made the process easier.
Jim Hirschberg – Florida
The intake process was fast and easy. Doctor Miller made it a breeze. I received my paperwork today in the mail (California DMV’s rules) and took it to AAA. Process was so much easier than when I processed my temporary placard last year. Because ParkingMD specializes in handicap placards, the paperwork was filled out properly, unlike the paperwork from my HMO last year.
Ed Hatz – California
As a disabled vet this was the easiest and fastest way to get the forms completed. Recommend!
Joel Laureano
Life changing! No more being worried I would not be able to get to the grocery store front before I gave out. They actually seem to want to help and they make the process fast and painless. Can’t recommend enough!
Rick Sauls
I have a bit of a unique situation. I recently moved to Nevada from California but my orthopedic doctor isn’t able to sign for my new permit in NV. I was skeptical about this at first, but it ended up being very easy and straightforward. There were doctor appointments available the same day, and I was able to video chat with the doctor who requested my medical record. Within 2 days they sent me the paperwork. I can’t imagine the doctor would put his license in jeopardy over a quick buck. This company worked out for me and I recommend them to anyone in a similar situation.
Bobby Wheeler – Nevada
I’ve had an excellent experience with ParkingMD. My Primary Care Office was indifferent about the urgency with which I needed a parking pass, I travel a lot. I was somewhere in their pile. ParkingMD was clear about their requirements, my responsibilities, and honest about their turn around time. I was well informed throughout the process and I received timely professional assistance at every step. I highly recommend ParkingMD for your Handicapped Parking needs.
