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!
