Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Rudest Doctor
Where do I start? Booked an appt and waited 2 months to see him, for severe chronic migraines. He walks in the room, doesn’t even introduce himself, tells me to lay on the table to test me for carpal tunnel. I ask if it’s related to my migraine issues, he says NO, and continues with testing. I wasn’t there for that! He is extremely dismissive, doesn’t care to listen or hear what’s wrong, condescending, and did not even remotely treat my issue I was seeing him for. I swear I felt like he mixed my chart up with someone else! When asking why we’re testing for Carpal tunnel and not discussing my chronic migraines, which is what I booked the appointment for, he slams his folder down and says “I’ve provided plenty of clarification. Can I proceed with my testing now?”. Zero bed side manners. Zero concern for my suffering. AVOID this doctor.

Doctor was very rude, does not offer any recommendations, and turns out he misdiagnosed as well. Would not recommend if you want accurate information about what’s going on.

Great Neurologist
Great Neurologist I’ve been seeing him for over 20 years. I can’t believe all the negative reviews. I guess some people are just impatient or doesn’t understand what he does. The front office is very professional. He takes care of all my neurological problems and issues. He’s taken care of me and he listens to everything. He does the necessary testing to make sure that the necessary treatment is working. I’ve been to all his office before. When he had Garden Grove, Huntington Beach and Fountain Valley. I’ve lived in City of Anaheim, Orange County, City of San Diego, San Diego County and Currently in Los Angeles County.

I will never recommend this doctor
Dr. Park is the worst doctor I have ever seen in my life. My husband has a TBI (traumatic brain injury). The doctor walked in. Sat and read his chart (obviously didn’t review it before). He asked why we are there. I said because ‘I need help!’ He asked my husband who the president was and what the date was. That was the extent of his evaluation. He just sat there while I asked him about a number of ideas, therapies, supplements etc. He actually said, smirking, ‘What do you want from me?, I am a neurologist’. I was so shocked, I couldn’t believe what I just heard. He had no recommendations or suggestions on how to help my man. He told me to go back to his GP. I said his GP does nothing with the brain. He literally just got up and walked out of the room. This all took place in less than 10 minutes. I wonder how he still is in practice. His staff isn’t any better. I told them we would never be back.

I found Dr. Park to be arrogant and dismissive. He was rude and wouldn't listen to me. He makes snap decisions without doing a thorough neurological exam. He was distant and unfriendly. I have never been treated in such an unprofessional way in my life. If you don't want to go home crying in frustration, don't go see this doctor.

I went to him for severe head aches and black outs, he just kept smirking every time I said my simptoms and without even shaking my hand or touching me he said there was nothing wrong with me. He said come back in 3 months and when I said I need something done sooner he said , If you don’t like it get another doctor, I cried the 40 minute drive home and nearly got in a car accident as I couldn’t see from crying . The pain in my head got worse with all the crying and upset from being treated so bad and bye some one who is supposed to help you. He never examined me yet told me there was nothing wrong and was sooo smuggish the way he knew he could talk to me like dirt and get away with it as he’s the doctor with his qualifications in a frame on the wall and I’m just a 60 year old lady with headaches and blackouts, I will never go back to this person I would die first which I hope isn’t going to happen as that’s the reason I went to him in the first place.

If I could this office staff and Dr. zero stars I would. The staff leaves much to be desired. They are rude, don't listen, talk over you, don't call back, hang up on you it's ridiculous & unprofessional. Dr. leaves something to be desired. seemed rushed and condescending ....the list goes on. After having to wait months for the appointment he spent a whole 5 minutes with us.

The Dr. is arrogant and dismissive, I wrote a long review but won't let me post it here. He's a real piece of work. Get another Doc. I cried most of the way home because of the way he treated me. He thought I was drugged because I speak slowly. I wanted a follow-up MRI from a past head injury. He acted like he never dealt w a brain injury in his life.

Dr. Park was courteous. That's about it. His examination of my condition was hurried, and he failed to listen to my main symptom and thus ignored it. His examination was rushed and woefully incomplete. He failed to offer any diagnosis before walking out of the examining room while I was in mid-sentence asking an important question. His subsequent report was riddled with serious errors and omissions. The visit was a complete waste of my time.

Dr. Park is very competent and genuinely cares for his patients. I was hospitalized for symptoms that none of the doctors knew what was wrong with me. I was terrified and crying feeling hopeless. After Dr. Park was consulted, assessed me, and ordered some tests, he made the diagnosis and started treatments immediately. Thank you Dr. Park for changing my life. I now feel I have more to live and see life in a different way. I highly recommend him as a neurologist.

Do not consider going this doctor. Office staff is incompetent, disorganized, and unable to communicate. I had an appointment at 4:15. I showed up at 4:08, and lady at front desk said the doctor just left. It shows how much he respects his clients' time. I didn't get a call in advance or an apology when I showed up. It speaks very loudly about the doctor's character through his staff. Without even seeing the doctor, I can assume his operation/practice is clearly sup par. Next doctor, please.
