Short Biography
Dr. Park is a Board Certified, fellowship trained Orthopaedic Spine Surgeon and a world expert in endoscopic spine surgery, minimally invasive spine surgery, and outpatient spine surgery. He uses these advanced, ultra-minimally invasive techniques to treat most spinal conditions with less pain and faster recovery.
Dr. Park trained at Stanford and was recently an Associate Clinical Professor and Vice Chair of Quality and Safety for the UCLA Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. At UCLA, he led the clinical, educational, and research efforts in minimally invasive and endoscopic spine surgery. He is a Professor of Clinical Orthopaedic Surgery and the Director of the Advanced Endoscopic and Outpatient Spine Program at UC Irvine, one of the first academic programs of its kind in the UC system.
