John K Park Md's Online Review Report Card

Explained my condition carefully and in an easy to understand manner. Answered all my questions perfectly.

Wonderful caring human being!!!! Compassionate physician

I found him dismissive, arrogant, insensitive and inappropriate for my needs. He recommended physical therapy for a back problem that another surgeon prescribed both epidural and ultrasound/cortisone shots for. I suffer from severe degenerative disc disease, spondylosis, osteoarthritis and spondylolisthesis as well as stenosis. He admitted after asking 'so where does it hurt?'that he could perform surgery on my whole spine but wouldn't. The MRI right in front of him told the story but he made me feel ridiculous and hypochrondriacal when I said it hurt everywhere from my L5 thru S1 and 2 all the way down my right leg. I got frustrated with him and he told me to go back on benzodiazepines which took a year and one half to withdraw from. He may have a Harvard degree but so do I. Wouldn't recommend him to my pet rock. He is probably great for tumors and spinal chord injury but for backs go elsewhere. I did and am walking upright with much less pain than if i only did physiotherapy. C-

My husband s tumor was found 1.20.2016. From there it was a whirlwind till surgery. I told him we had the best insurance, so find the best surgeon and hospital you can. We Love SBarbara Cottage Hospital and doors opened for us to see Doctor Park. My husband did the research and felt he was the best on this part of the Country. His surgery was 2.8.2016, he was one of the first to do the interoperative MRI for Brain Surgery at that hospital. I believe it was used 3 times. Surgery started at 5 am and he was in the Icu room at 7pm. I was concerned of the length, but each time I asked for an update a actual nurse in procedure gave me a correct and easy explanation to ease my stress. At completion Dr Park arrived to tell me he got all he could 97 %, I noted he looked notStressed or tired.I asked to see hubby, he said soon, I asked about cancer he said not to worry LABwould have results Soon.I was able to stay by Hubbys sideTHAT nite in ICU, In theAm to private rm.Hme 2.12YesCncr Ok

Dr. Park has an excellent bed side manner. Explained everything about my surgery and answered all my questions. Felt very confident in having him do my surgery. A very positive outcome. He is an A+++++ all the way

Dr. Park was excellent. I couldn't recommend him more highly. He was direct, Frank, and up front about my condition. He discussed the options for my surgical treatment and all potential side effects. He took his time and answered all my questions. He was appropriately concerned. His clinical skills are excellent as reflected in his resume. Again, I could recommend him more strongly

My experience with Dr. Park exceeded all expectations for medical care. I had rapidly developed several brain tumors and within less than a week Dr. Park performed a comprehensive and informative diagnostic appointment and major surgery. My short hospital stay was followed by an unbelievably pain-free recovery. Absolutely amazing. Our thanks to Dr. Park, a calm, responsive and caring physician

Dr. Park is an amazing doctor! He is a very thorough surgeon and gets the job done right!! He spent a lot of time with me explaining my condition and I never felt rushed during my appointments. I highly recommend Dr. Park!

I met highest professional doctor,who provide human attention and medical support. He really pay attention for all your needs,complications or consigns. Work ,that he did is excellent. In emergency situation ( I do not have time wait my plan day) he did great job. My surgery have amazing result ( remove 100% of tumor) and after this surgery I do not have any complications,or problems with recovering. It is why I highly recommend Dr Park, how the best neurosurgeon.

My wife and I researched neurologists extensively before deciding on Dr. Park for my neck surgery. We drove from Bakersfield to Santa Barbara for each office exam and for the surgery and follow-ups and we are so happy we did! My surgery was a success and I am on my way to a complete recovery. Dr. Park always has a handshake and a warm smile for us. He explains everything in detail and answers all of our questions. He has been such a blessing to us and I can highly recommend Dr. John Park!
