  • After consulting with five different neurosurgeons, I made the decision to have Dr. Park perform the surgery on my cervical spine! I choose Dr. Park because of his professionalism, kindness and his confidence in his ability to perform the surgery! On my very first visit he took the time to explain my condition and treatment plan!

  • Miracle: The closest I will ever come to experiencing a miracle is the time I woke after the surgery Dr. Paul Park did for me on October 25th. I had suffered for several months with extreme pain caused by a synovial cyst on my spine near the sciatic nerve. Dr. Park was the first doctor to diagnose my problem after carefully, patiently listening to my story as well as cure it by excising the cyst and relieving the spinal stenosis that precipitated it. His staff was even able to expedite the surgery when a cancellation appeared a month earlier than my original date. One day post-op I tossed away the cane I’d needed to walk and have been without pain ever since. He is a fine surgeon and a good person supported by a great staff.

  • Dr. Park was exceptionally attentive, thorough and professional in discussing the need for additional spinal surgery. Walking me through MRI results, he showed me and explained the source of the pain I was experiencing and how exactly the recommended surgery would correct the problem. I am looking forward to the surgery with much confidence in this surgeon.Follow up: Dr. Park and his team performed the surgery late January. Couldn't ask for a better result. Post op recovery has been great, moving easily and painlessly. I expect to be back to playing tennis in another month. My confidence in Dr. Park was confirmed.

  • Walking again: Dr. Park has given me my life back. I had a large herniated disc in my lower back that left me mostly bed ridden for the first six months of this year. I went through PT and got several shots and nothing worked. Surgery was the only option left and I am so glad I found Dr. Park. I was nervous and scared, but Dr. Park was patient and took the time to explain the process. I've seen other surgeons before him and I immediately knew I wanted him to do the surgery. Three months later, I am walking with minimal pain. I was told that nerve damage takes time to heal so I'm just taking it one day at a time, but I am so grateful to be moving again. I also want to say that his team is fantastic as well! From scheduling everything to quick response for any issues or concerns, this is the best medical service I ever received!List Item

  • “I am thankful forDoctor Paul Park. He was kind, patient, explained everything in detail, and was not at all rushed. He wanted me to want my back surgery and to see if the decompression technique could work for my bone-on-bone pressure back pain. I had two previous back surgeries, and this third surgery with Dr Paul was the easiest for me. The whole process was smooth, precise, and well-run… Doctor Park has an outstanding team; they are caring and sweet. I can highly recommend Dr. Paul Park!”
