Verified patient
First impression of how he looked over the notes that i wrote and his observations through testing and mobility were great. He was not aggressive with his experience and gave options, scenarios and was thorough. He also asked great questions regarding his observations and was very receptive, honest, personable and friendly demeanor.
Verified patient
Dr. Park was very clear and concise on what the issues were/could be. He laid out 3 options and what they each meant, while telling me which he felt was the most probable cause of my pain. I was also impressed with the social distancing and airflow measures they took to keep staff and clients safe.
Verified patient
Very knowledgeable!
It was very fast. Not good not bad. We hardly spoke. I showed him the information I had prepared for my pain. He tested my reflexes and muscle strength in my legs and feet (although they weren't the problem) and gave me some information about my muscles and a piece of paper with exercises and sent me to see a physiotherapist.
Verified patient
It was very informative and I appreciate it
Verified patient
Very efficient and very thorough. He caught an issue that I was unaware of unrelated to why I was made the appointment. This speaks to his thoroughness and attention to detail.
Listened patiently while I explained what happened and brought me in the next day for x-rays. His staff moved things around to get me in. What a great and responsive team. Much appreciated!

Dr. Park has the ability to quickly focus one the issues and provide excellent advise for solution to the issue. He manages to do this quickly, yet with very nice "bedside" manner. Never feel rushed or pushed.

I was trying to get an appointment the same day and I found on zocdoc Dr. Dennis was available. I was little hestitant to book on zocdoc since I was booking for the first book on the platform and decided to call the Dr's office to get an appointment. On the call the receptionist told me the next availability was only next week, when I asked her that zocdoc showed availability, she told me zocdoc was not reliable. Since I was looking for something immediate, I told her I would call back and decided to try booking on zocdoc. Within a minute my appointment got confirmed. SO clearly I hate the experience with the Receptionists. Talking about the doctor- he was good. He asked the symptoms and did a quick exam. He seemed to be in hurry. He told he would start me on physical therapy and see how it progresses. If no results are seen he would try other things. He told his assistant would tell me what to do & the next steps. She told me how many PT sessions and when to see next. But surprisingly the doctor dint instruct me on what not to do & I forgot to ask. Over all a decent experience.

Excellent!

Dr. park is so nice and it was such a quick visit! He really took the time to answer all my questions on my knee injury and his staff made sure I didn’t wait at all. Highly recommended!! I’ll be back for my follow up :)
Verified patient
Short and sweet. First consult after knee injury 3 weeks prior. Asked some questions re: how injury took place. Did some range of motion testing. Then took a moment to explain best and worst case scenarios indicating physical therapy required regardless. Finally asked if any questions. Sent for MRI and will schedule follow up thereafter.
I was impressed wth every interaction. From the reception when i first arrived and the friendly nature of the staff. I love that they have an xray available nearby as well. Dr. Park is very personable and thorough. Im glad I was able to see him in such short notice as well.
Verified patient
Great Doctor, quick, direct and clear.

He was a true professional
Verified patient
Very disappointed with the visit. First of all they changed the appointment time and when you reach they make you wait for mire than45 mins to see the doc. Doc himself was inhurry and didnt had a good checkup. Without even satisfactory solutionhe went away and didnt turn back. Worst experience i ever had.
I visited Dr.Park following a ACL tear injury. He patiently answered all my questions and provided pros and cons of all the options I had to improve my situations.
Verified patient
This was my first time meeting Dr. Park. What a guy! He had many solutions for my injury and my hope is that I can get passed my issue.
Verified patient
Great bedside manner. Very pateint.

They office is very organized, and the staff is efficient, friendly, and helpful. Last time I was there, I forgot my glasses in the exam room, and they called me to tell me I left them behind before I'd left the parking lot. Dr. Dennis Park is also very patient, helpful and informative. I have been coming here for help with a fractured ankle after changing insurance, and so far it has been a very positive experience all around.
Verified patient
My last appointment was great with Dr Park. He explained my arthritis in detailed. He gave me a new medication and prescribed physical therapy. Finally, some relief.
I was treated by Dr. Dennis Park first in the emergency room. I was very grateful that he was called in to respond to my 2 broken wrists. Dr. Park was calm, efficient and skilled. He was easy to speak with, and conducted himself well both professionally and personally. My follow up visits were thorough; and I appreciated his treatment plan of physical therapy and straight forward prognosis. I would definitely recommend Dr. Park to my family and friends.
Dr Park is very patient and thorough in explaining the problem, and solutions. He doesn't order unnecessary, expensive tests before trying conservative methods of treatment.
