Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

She made me feel uncomfortable in just 6 minutes.
She arrived 50 minutes late to the appointment. She questioned my plans for trying to get pregnant. She made me feel uncomfortable in just 6 minutes. She needs to think about the impact her words will have on her patients. Before judging your patients, ask about their plan history.

Very Disappointed
I was very upset when I left my appointment. She did not wash her hands before grabbing the gloves to exam me. Hopefully, she did not pass anything contagious to me. She rushed through my appointment. I felt like she did not listen to my concerns. I am very disappointed. I am a very patient and understanding person. I generally do not leave negative feedback but she was very unprofessional. I expected a little more compassion. Some of us really need medical help. That is what doctors are paid to do. I am going to find another doctor.

I do not recommend this doctor. Does not bother giving any information. I drive 30 minutes to this location only to not get any information that I request.

Worst doctor ever seen
I waited over an hour to be seen from my appointment time. Then when I finally got to see her she was extremely unprofessional and rude. There to have my birth control removed but was told was not going to happen it was just consultation for the removal which no one told me and I requested to have it removed wasn’t needing any replacement. And she told me I would have to make another appointment. Than when I asked why I couldn’t have it done now as I did not need them to replace it she just stated she can’t ( even though they were going to try and give me a pap) which would have taken up time but couldn’t because I was on my time of the month. And because I kept asking questions she literally walked out and told me to deal with the front desk. I don’t know how she is still a doctor. So unprofessional.

Horrible bedside manner
I have hip dysplasia which can make doing an exam a challenge. This was the worst experience I have had with a doctor! I was supposedly her first patient yet she didn't come in the room until a hour late. Then she scolded me for not doing regular breast exams. When it came time for the v exam she wanted to put legs in the stirrups I told her I would try but that I had hip dysplasia. To my shock I was able to. Then she kept telling me to open my legs wider which I explained I couldn't. So she angrily said I don't know how we can do this exam! The nurse who was nice tried to adjust my feet. She got the exam done told me my other concerns needed to follow up with my primary. So she changed the appointment to a yearly exam but forgot to address the original issue my pelvic pain. I left in tears.

Phone Appointment
This Doctor was a fill in for my regular doctor and was scheduled to call me for a phone appointment to go over my test results. She called 40 minutes late, I couldn't understand her on the phone, hard to hear, plus a very strong accent, at least to me, to the point I couldn't get the info or service I needed. I'm still being billed and harassed to pay for this call. They want $150 for nothing. This was no service at all.

Might have an MD but not very factual.
I went in for a visit with this doctor and immediately after checking my baby’s heartbeat asked if I was vaccinated. As I am not she proceeded to tell me that its because of those unvaccinated that the vaccinated people get covid… that’s the most uneducated response she could have given. After that, she left the room didn’t even tell me she was leaving, nor did she ask if I had any questions (mind you my other concerns weren’t addressed after the vaccine talk). Very rude person of science. Staff is always great but I’m definitely not seeing this pompous woman again.

My Doctor was not able to make it to my appointment. Doctor perla park was the one filling in, there was a long wait time in the room. She came in just quickly checked my baby’s heartbeat probably only took about 5 min in the room and just left, looked like she was in a rush. Didn’t ask if I had any questions about baby or myself.

My mom had a appointment on a eraly morning . as soon as we got there the front staff said she needed to reschedule my mom's appointment because the Dr. who was going to do her procedure could not in that day. we understood completely. luckly we met Dr. Park she said she would check her own patients schedule and try best to help my mom. she did it . my mom felt great after procedure. since my mom was already premedicateded for that procedure the day before and I took the day off to help her . so we really appreciated Dr. Park's help. Dr. Park is very professinal and very friendly and very responsible . we definitly recommend Dr. Park to my friends

By far the most professional doctor I have been seen by. Dr. Park goes above and beyond in providing quality care. She takes the initiative to address general wellness recommendations and makes sure you understand the importance behind getting general wellness exams. I would highly recommend Dr. Park for your OB-GYN needs!

For over a year, I was suffering from a problem (most inconvenient and painful) that a slew of other doctors (despite numerous tests and procedures) could neither find nor diagnose. I was finally referred to Dr. Park and on the very first visit, she immediately and accurately found and identified the problem so that I could go ahead and move forward to schedule the appropriate corrective surgical procedure. Dr. Park was the "only" doctor that was "competent enough, and thorough enough" to find and identify the issue. - I am most "appreciative and grateful" for her "medical expertise."

I have been going to Dr. Park for 15 years. Dr Park is very nice, caring and knowledgable gynecologist. She is very gentle when doing her yearly exam on me. She always makes me relax during my visit to her in her clinic. I would highly recommend her to family and friends. She patiently explains the procedure that she's about to do. I was saddened when she relocated to Sta. Maria area. I hope she decides to return back to the San Fernando valley area.
