I had a total hip replacement on 11/25/19. A year ago I first consulted with Dr. Park regarding the need for a hip replacement. He did not in any way try to pursuance me to have one. He told me I would know when I needed the surgery. He was right. The surgery went well, I was quite confident in his care. He is a very good listener and he provided me with what I should anticipate.

He was knowledgeable, professional but with understanding and he was respectful on how I felt. Explaining clearly so that I did not feel bad for not knowing.

I was seen by Dr. Fitzpatrick on a timely basis. He was very clear in his instructions and as always took as much time as I needed.

I was admitted to the emergency room, late at night, was a fractured hip. It was extremely painful.
Dr.Park came into the hospital, early, the next morning,and performed the hip surgery. It relieved some of the pain, soon, and appears to have been
successful. I am continuing with Physical Therapy, will see Dr. Park for a follow-up visit, next month.
When I saw, ast, he was very reassuring, and answered all of our questions.

ASTOUNDING, AWESOME, AMAZING all fit! Left hip replaced on Monday and got kicked out on Tuesday, could have walked if they would have let me. Full mobility, no pain, and had to leave a room with an ocean view. It's Fri as I write this and the only pain I've had has been superficial from the stitches and dressing. The whole experience has been hard to believe and very stress relieving.

I have seen Drs. Park, Wang, Edit for various problems, but primarily, Dr. Mark Elzik for problems with my hands. He has done several surgical procedures on my hands successfully relieving Trigger Finger Conditions not responding to Cortisone shots. He is very professional and relates really well to patients, answering questions and concern for patients welfare. Since I have seen the other MDs and experienced excellent treatment and care as well, I highly recommend COOrtho.com for all Orthopedic needs and care . Barb F.

Dr. Park replaced both my hips four years ago and recently did knee replacement surgery on my right knee. He is the best! Highly recommend Dr. Park to all my family and friends.

After breaking my wrist on Memorial evening, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with caring for my wrist, surgery and recovery with OT. Thank you Dr Elzik and Mike, along with Emily for my road to recovery.

Went smooth just a little delay getting in to see the doctor. 20 minutes after my actual appointment time.

Dr Park completed a complete knee revision in my case. This revision required two surgeries. One to remove the artificial appliance & repair my knee & surrounding tissue because of infection from a prior surgery in La Quinta, CA. Dr Park inserted an antibiotic spacer & prepared my joint for my final surgery. Dr Park’s surgical abilities are phenomenal. I experienced ZERO pain from either surgery. These were obviously major surgeries. I feel fortunate to have found a Doctor that had the abilities & expertise to resolve these extremely serious health issues. I highly recommend Dr Park if you are considering knee or hip replacement. I doubt you can find a better surgeon than Dr Park. Dr Park carefully & patiently explained the process & necessary steps involved to repair my severely infected knee.

I have been battling with losing cartilage in both of my knees and was experiencing the start of arthritis at 56 years old. Dr Fitzpatrick recommended that we try lubricant injections before opting for knee replacement. My dumb medial insurance insisted that I first have cortisone injections before they would approve the viscous ones. The cortisone didn't work and I then had the viscous one (not the chicken frond one but the synthetic one which has a much higher viscosity level). This worked for about 4 months - not perfect but much better. I then opted to try their PRP (stem cell) procedure. It cost $950 for both knees and obviously the medical insurance won't pay for it as it doesn't include long term pharmaceutical product use. The procedure was just over an hour. The draw two vials of blood from your arm - like you are having a blood test, pop this in a centrifuge which separates the plasma (where the stem cells are) from the red blood cells, and they injected this into my knees. No pain at all.
Move forward 10 days and I am walking normally with no pain!!! I have been going to a chiropractor to get me to walk straight up again as I am pain free and the results are incredible. Yesterday I did a 6 mile cycle and it went great. My very strong recommendation is stop the pills and get the PRP. It works. I am a real patient and you can contact me at wayneholder@yahoo.com if you need to verify this. I have told everyone I know about the procedure and I promise that if you are suffering from joint pain or an old injury (I have torn my meniscus twice in my right leg), go and have the PRP done - it is simply amazing!
