Patient Reviews
Great professionalism and bedside manner-I received a small injection in my eyelid and she and her staff worked hard so that it didn't hurt.
It was an excellent experience.
I had to wait a long time to see her, which I wasn't happy with. I had to pick up my daughter from school and was afraid I wouldn't make it. I did like Dr. Park once I did see her though.
