With a history of eye issues I was nervous about a series of complex eye operations for which Mr Park had been recommended to me by my normal consultant. Mr.Park was able to assure me and explain carefully the treatment required. Throughout the consultations, the operations and the follow up checks I felt fully supported. Always timely for appointments and always made time to see me when urgency required it.

I had full confidence in seeing Mr Park about cataract surgery as he had previously treated a macular hole promptly and successfully in my other eye a year ago. I was dealt with professionally and the surgery went very well with no complications. Mr Park is easy to talk to and makes one feel at ease .

Mr Dong Park is the authority in his field. He accommodated my VR surgery pre xmas as a priority and needed to reschedule other less critical ( cataract ) operations. Dong Parks explanation of my retinal tears pre and post operation was precise and understandable. I had 3 post operation follow up's and all confirmed restoration of my vision as he mapped out at the outset. He is defiantly an expert in his field and i would unreservedly trust his opinion and execution. I strongly believe i have regained my full eye sight as a direct result of his timely action.

I have seen Dr Parks several times over the last 2 years, due to both eyes having detached retinas. His professionalism throughout this experience and his surgical skill has resulted in my vision being fully restored. He always takes the time to articulate the procedures and answer any questions that I have whilst under his care.

I met Mr Park with little hope of saving my damaged sight but his reassurance and explanation of exactly what had happened and what to expect helped me come to terms with the possible outcome. Mr Park operated twice on my eye and the outcome has been amazing and the future for my sight is certainly so much better than I could have imagined it to be. All through my treatment Mr Park has been genuinely there to encourage me and guide me along the way to recovery, no matter what my questions he took time to explain and make it all clear. I know if ever I need future treatment Mr Park will always be my first call and anyone I know who needs this sort of treatment I will also without hesitation be recommending him and his team.

Mr Dong Park is an outstanding Consultant Ophthalmologist and Vitreoretinal Surgeon, and is a miracle worker with exceptional ability. In January 2023, I was diagnosed with a severe retinal detachment (GRT). The prognosis I faced was retinal detachment surgery using silicone oil which would no doubt require further intervention at later stages of my life, or would leave me with vision impairment. As a teacher, and father, this was devastating news because being fairly young, this outcome was devastating for me and my family, and unquestionably life altering. However, Mr. Park explained to me that he would attempt to use a gas tamponade (which he pioneered in the UK) in the surgical treatment. My operation lasted 1 hour 30 mins and it was clear Mr Park’s surgical expertise was put to the test. Throughout I was impressed by Mr. Park’s professionalism, diligence and straight talking. After an extended period of posturing, a post op review concluded that my operation was a success. As a natural result of the Vitrectomy (Retinal Detachment Surgery), 6 months later I developed a cataract, which is something most patients develop. In my case, because I had a severe retinal detachment and had LASIK eye surgery to correct my vision back in 2008, I was going to require Complex Cataract Surgery by a talented Vitreoretinal Surgeon. I choose Mr Park because of his experience carrying out my retinal repair. Furthermore, I was prepared to travel from my home in Devon to the Midlands, which highlights the extent in which I valued Mr. Park’s ability. In April 2024, Mr Park carried out my...
