SHC Patient, Jun 2015
I had a hope that Dr. Park would OK me for surgery, he said no with little explanation other than too old.
SHC Patient, Jun 2015
Would highly recommend Dr. Park and his Assistants to anyone who needs help.
SHC Patient, May 2015
dr. park was very engaging and helpful with accommodating the specifics of my life demands. ideally, he recommended that I be off my back 90% but my work dictates that I be on my feet so he helped me find ways to do that cautiously
SHC Patient, Nov 2014
It would have been helpful to review current Rx and get feedback since that is primary intervention being used in my tx right now.
SHC Patient, Oct 2014
Doctor & physician assistant wonderful.
SHC Patient, Sep 2014
This is the most excellent experience by both the PA and Director of neurosurgeon.
SHC Patient, Jul 2014
Very good experience.
SHC Patient, Jul 2014
I would have liked more information about what problems to look for in the future & what to do.
SHC Patient, Jun 2014
I thought I was going to get my neck pain fixed and instead referred to yet somebody else. I fourth dr.
SHC Patient, May 2014
I have recommended a friend to your hospital & clinic.
SHC Patient, May 2014
Again, all the staff is excellent!
SHC Patient, May 2014
Knowledgeable.
SHC Patient, Mar 2014
Both the doctor and PA were kind and considerate. They were treating me as a patient not just a medical chart.
SHC Patient, Feb 2014
The surgery provided took care of my L buttocks and L lower extremity discomforts.
SHC Patient, Feb 2014
Very very good. The best!!
SHC Patient, Jan 2014
A new MRI was ordered for comparison with the last year, but he never compare them.
