I live in Burbank, and I make the drive to Anaheim because Dr. Park is THAT good.\r
I've taken my animals to the same vet closer to my house for the past 16 years. And although it was nice to go to the same vet because she knew my dogs, and their history, I decided to take my 16-year-old blind dog who had a heart murmur to Dr. Park.\r
My old vet wanted to run blood tests before putting her on medication and it would be pretty pricey because Happy was an ""older"" dog. A friend had recommended Dr. Park so I thought I'd give it a shot. I was so glad I did.\r
Happy's heart murmur is not cured, but definitely under control. She no longer coughs (symptom of heart murmur). Her medication has been adjusted a few times (increased dosage) but she seems to be doing really well.\r
Recently, Happy had been waking up at all hours of the night, barking like crazy. I've had her for 16 1/2 years... I know her ""sad"" bark when I hear it. When I asked Dr. Park what he might think, he said that given her age, she might be going through early stages of alzheimer's. He also said that she's probably waking up in the middle of the night, confused and scared, hence the ""sad"" bark. However, as long as she still ""recognized"" me (by smell and sound I'm assuming), he said I shouldn't worry too much. Saddened, but desperate for some sleep one night, I remembered what Dr. Park said and put Happy up on the bed with me. Since she recognized my ""smell"", she fell right to sleep!\r
I've had to call Dr. Park on numerous occasions, and he's always been so helpful. He knew that I have quite a drive to the hospital, so instead of always asking me to bring her in everytime, he's been very helpful and tried to do as much as he could to help me over the phone.\r
I would drive through fire and water for the well-being of my furbabies. It's nice to know that after the long drive to Anaheim, Dr. Park and his friendly staff are always more than helpful and I get the feeling that they genuinely care about me and my babies.
