Rating & Reviews
Everyone was so kind and patient! It was a really great experience.
The Staff showed care and safety for my childs health. Went beyond care by explaining to my child (simple and eazy instructions for my childs understanding ) of importance of being healthy and safety for her future. My child was able to understand what was being explained to her without her asking me what everything ment. Best hospital staff.
Susan Park was absolutely amazing so nice and sweet.
We had a great experience at the heart center. Doctor Susan Park was great with my son and very patient as he cried during the visit. She also did great at explaining my son's condition and answering my questions.
Susan was very personable and professional. She made us feel very comfortable and was not rushed.
Susan Park is an amazing provider! I am so blessed to have her care for my son! She is compassionate, ethical, intelligent, and has GREAT bed side manners! If every provider was like Susan Park, healthcare industry would be a much better place!
They did a wonderful job and she listened and explained things very well. She was definitely there for us and helping us was her main focus and priority. We definitely were satisfied
