Outstanding - in and out in 30 minutes. He was very thorough explained my problem went over x-rays with me and took a conservative approach - I was facing surgery and elected to get second opinion from Dr. Park - so glad I did - I walked out with a potential solution that I believe is going to work. Highly recommend Dr. Park!

I love healthy patients!" beams Dr. Park when asked about his favorite part of being the South Bay's most prominent foot and ankle surgeon. He is a highly-skilled, warm, and well-regarded surgeon who has a deep compassion and understanding for all of his patients. His skills were honed at the world renowned Hospital for Special Surgery, which is consistently ranked the #1 Orthopedic hospital in the country. Dr. Park's own lifelong athletic pursuits cultivated his passion an orthopaedic surgeon. The Southern California native is a veteran body boarder, and NCAA Division1 UCLA tennis player who brings an athlete's commitment to his patients' treatment and recovery. "Competition is in my blood. I know how much is at stake in getting healthy and strong again," says Dr. Park. This attitude and his outstanding surgical skills are why he has successfully treated—and motivated—many high level athletes and professional dancers back to competition-level performance. Dr. Park has a broad range of experience in complex foot and ankle surgery, a specialty he expertly brings to patients of all backgrounds.

He is also uniquely qualified in treating both adult and pediatric general orthopedic trauma (fractures/injuries of upper and lower extremities). For the past several years he has successfully used new treatments, such as platelet rich plasma (PRP) injections, as an alternative to surgical intervention.

Dr. Ken Park is a very caring Doctor and surgeon. He evaluates your situation carefully with attentive listening to your issues. He has a very pleasant and confident demeanor just like the previous reviews have stated.

Verified patient
Very efficient operation from check in, collecting new patient and insurance information, being put in room, x-rays right in the office, and physician visit. Everyone had time for me.
Always pleasant. I recommended to my co-workers, friends who has similar issue I had. For a year, I suffered by being misdiagnosed by podiatrist. Dr. Park found the real issue in two minutes when he saw my MRI record. My search is over. He is the best for me!
Verified patient
Everyone in the office was very nice and helpful, they made everything quite easy for a new patient. Dr. Park is a very nice man, made me feel more comfortable with what was going on with my knee. Got a cortisone shot and barely felt it. He has a great bedside manner
Verified patient
This is our 1st time @ this office, Showed up 40 mins early & when we were called in to room the nurse & staff was just rushing to get us in the room. It took so long that we had to go back & forth into the waiting room lobby to drink from a water fountain. Which then took about an hours til the Dr. Parks came in and spent about 12-15 min discussing the X-rays and recommendation. The nurse & staff seemed very frustrated & overwhelmed with the hectic office surroundings that it affected the courtesy & being polite even after we thanked them every chance or as they were helping us. "But NO thank you or your welcome out of the staff or nurse." Leaves doubt of the kind of service to expect in the future.
great
He is great, waiting time is long.
Dr. Kenneth Park is one of the best doctors that I have ever seen. He is very respectful and courteous. He's very positive and gives his patient encouragement. His smile is warm and calming. This visit was my followup visit to discuss my MRI results. He actually showed me the film from my MRI and explained to me in detail what was causing the problem. I would highly recommend Dr. Park.
Verified patient
Dr Park was courteous and provided detailed explanation in his diagnosis of my foot problem. I am very satisfied with his services and would recommend him to other patients.
He gave me a hope! Way to recovery !! Everyone was very nice and diligently working. Very fast process. Absolutely recommend to my friends.
Kenneth Park was one of the most accommodating, attentive, and all around pleasant MD's I have ever seen. This was my first time at his facilities, but he treated me as though I were a long term patient. My appointment was prompt, professional, and informative. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a physician/doctor in the South Bay.
