Was referred to Dr. Park for my tender neck gland(s), and initially not able to get appt until several days hence. Didn't mind at first because it only hurt a bit but as days progressed started to swell and hurt more. Called back to see if I could get earlier appt but was told they were completely booked but I could call back daily for any cancellations. Told staff I didn't want to bother them but was told not a bother. To my happy surprise, nurse Kamele called me next day to tell me she overheard my conversation, was concerned because of my pain, had a cancellation and asked if I wanted to come in next day which I jumped at.
Wait time to see Dr. Park was very minimal and I found him to be such an interesting, animated person. He was very concerned and besides just checking my neck, told me he was going to give me a quick "overall ENT exam" since I was there. Dr. P is very professional but funny at the same time--constantly chattering as he did his exam, explaining what he was doing and looking at, and kept telling me we need to find out exactly what my problem was and have "to study it." He ordered CAT scan to confirm his suspicions; I was sent directly to x-ray for scan then reported back to his office where he showed me the results, explained them to me and prescribed medication and "suggested" a shot to alleviate the swelling. All this happened within a couple hour's time, which I feel was remarkable considering what was done. F/U was scheduled after a few days; then second f/u scheduled for a week hence "to be sure" everything is healing correctly.
Besides being impressed by Dr. Park and his professionalism, I am in awe of his staff--Kamele is one caring, capable nurse (how often does a nurse come to you in the waiting room, pat you on the shoulder and tell you sorry for the wait...after few minutes only!!...and that you'll be next!...the shot she gave was not sore either) Camille and Crystal who answer phones and schedule appointments are so personable, funny and helpful...and EVERYONE there seems to love being there! I highly recommend Dr. Park and his wonderful staff...but his picture on the Straub website must have been taken 20 years ago!! ;) read more
