Mission:
"My mission as a facial plastic surgeon is to improve and enhance
the quality of life for my patients through their face." The impact
of even minor and subtle modifications in one's face can be powerful
and should not be underestimated. While looking natural remains a premium,
small changes can reach deeper and influence such powerful virtues as
self-confidence, morale, and feeling of health. Performing facial plastic
surgery and nurturing one's sense of well-being is a privilege that
is never taken for granted.
Personal Life:
Outside the hospital, a majority of time is spent with his family, wife
Eileen and two teenage boys. He travels extensively for professional
purposes but has been fortunate to visit many exotic areas of the world.
For recreation, Dr. Park is an avid golfer and continues to be very
active with fitness and basketball. He is a sport enthusiast and enjoys
spectating many events, especially his sons' lacrosse and football games.
