In October 2024, I went in for an…read moreablation and suffered a medical emergency during the procedure, I coded on the table and required CPR to be brought back. I spent nearly a week in the ICU with four broken ribs and never received a clear explanation as to why this happened. I had to take 8 weeks of unpaid leave under FMLA to recover, which caused serious financial strain. Despite this experience, I decided to try the procedure again in April 2025 at a different facility with Dr Park. Unfortunately, I experienced another serious complication. While recovering, it was discovered that Dr. Park had accidentally nicked an artery in my leg, causing a massive hematoma. I had to undergo emergency surgery by a vascular surgeon, and what should have been an overnight stay turned into another week in the hospital, followed by another 3 weeks of unpaid leave. Since then, I have made multiple attempts to speak with Dr. Park or someone in his office regarding what happened, the impact it's had on my health and finances, and my questions about billing. I was told I would not be allowed to speak with him, and no one has returned my three calls. I am extremely disappointed by the lack of accountability and communication. These complications -- both life-threatening -- and the complete absence of follow-up care or explanation are unacceptable. I personally believe Dr. Park takes on too much and moves too quickly, which may have contributed to the errors in my care. Please be cautious if you are considering this provider. My experience has been physically, emotionally, and financially devastating, and I am still dealing with the aftermath.

Not only its rude not to return phone calls to a patient, but also its now two weeks since my tests and seems like they just don't care. I would go elsewhere if I were you. If they can't provide results of your test in two weeks, nor return any of your 3 messages they are not going to take care of you when you are on the bed. That is all I can say about these people
