Judith Park Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

Originally I was scheduled with Dr. Fisher. He was very competent, nice, friendly, and up front about what I was doing. He explained in detail what to expect, etc. When I had lost my 10% and had surgery scheduled with him, they called to say that he would be on vacation. I could wait for him or move my surgery one day and switch to Dr. Park. Dr. Park was the doctor at the orientation and I was comfortable with what she said there, so I switched. She was very thorough also. I was impressed with the knowledge that she had and that she never thought less of me because I am going through the surgery. My impression of her only improved with time.

The office staff are great! They are there to help with every step -- pre surgery and post surgery. The aftercare is structured and they follow up with me to make sure that I am doing what I am supposed to be doing. I feel that I can always call and ask questions.

Dr. Park is the best!

She was so nice and I really enjoyed her.
I dont have anything negative to say about Dr. Park. She was very professional and listened and answered every question I had.
She strongly suggested following the aftercare schedule very strictly.
There is a very structured aftercare program to follow.
I would rate her a 10!!!

My first impression of Dr. Park is that she was attentive, caring and very knowledge about the procedure in which she would perform on me (Lap). The staff at KP Richmond was great. Dr. Park is caring and sensitive to your needs and concerns but a the same time, her first and most important issue is that you understand what you are doing and the risk involved.

KP Richmond has a very structured after care plan and you have to sign a contract adhering to the program after care program. I would rate Dr. Park 125% and I love her to dealth. Everything about Dr. Park was awesome.

Judith Park is a professional. She was very business like and no nonsense.She was direct about her questions and quickly responding to my answers and questions.She emphasized about the pre surgery care, the after care and the changes that needed to be made for the rest of my life.

Dr.Park greeting me prior to surgery and visited my that evening.She continued to be positive and supportive and very upbeat about how my surgery transpired.

I would rate Ms. Park "TOPNOTCH"

Her bedside manner was again professional and competant.

Perhaps Ms. Park did tell me along will all the others, but I was not aware of the possibility of getting a call 48 hours prior to my surgery to come into the 'Richmond' Kaiser (ONLY) and get weighed by 2:00PM that day or surgery would be cancelled.I was 3 lbs under goal,

I thought Dr. Parks was nice but stern she had goals for me I was unsure that I would be able to achieve but I did and then some. The office staff are great and very supportive when I finally made my goal weight everyone hugged me as it had been a stuggle to lose the last 5 lbs. I stayed short of those 5lbs for 3 months. She is a great surgeon and a wonderful person. She will go the last mile to ensure everything goes as scheduled. The bariatric program at kaise is really big on aftercare you have to make a serious commitment to yourself and the lifestyle changes by losing the 10% before they will do surgery and commit to the follow up appointments. The have answered all my questions regarding my surgery and we have talked about all the risks regarding it. I would rate Kaiser and their staff a 100% they are the best the have been through my sadness and laughter and supported me the whole way.

At Kaiser the doctors work as a team so you actually work with 2 or 3 doctors. All three of them are excellent. Now that I am post-op, Dr. Judith Park is doing my follow up care. She is great. She takes time to listen and is very happy with my successes. She encourages me to do my best. I also like Dr. Baggs but I have not had as much contact with him or Dr. Fischer. All three doctors are easy to talk to and really care about the people they serve.

The staff is friendly and nice. Sometimes they make mistakes that are frustrating but it is really the process not the people that cause the frustration.

Kaiser has a good follow up program but as with all HMO's it is up to you to be your own advocate. It is important that you don't allow yourself to get lost in the system. You have to be proactive.

Dr. Park and Dr. Fischer were both very clear about the risks and complications of the surgery. They made sure that I was aware of the life changes necessary to be successful. They were very careful to address my concerns in a manner that I understood. They do not talk down to their patients. Dr. Park and Dr. Baggs were good in the hospital and treated me with concern and care. The surgery went well and I am happy to recommend these doctors.

My first impression of Dr Park was that she seemed very kind and caring. When I did something she didn't like she made sure I knew she was upset with me. Which I respected and was glad she called me on my fault (which was very minor but she sticks to the guideline). The day of my surgury she made me feel like I was her 1 and only concern. She checked on me regularly while I was in the hosiptal and made sure that the small problem I had in surgery was checked and followed through with.
Today at my 2 week check up we sat and talked and I asked alot of question and I felt like she really cared about me and my progress.

She was exactly how I imagined her, warm, professional, very personable.




Office staff excellent, very nice, knowledgable


She likes to know that you have educated yourself exstensivly about this surgery.
Big time, she wants you to have supportive people around you.

Reg appts and evaluations
Very honest, straighforward listed exact percentages of complications and wanted me to know that this is major surgery.
Excellent

I just met Dr. Park in our first consult. She was professional, concise, and clear with details of the surgery and risks involved. She answered all of my questions. I like her. She is a bit brisk, but I think a lot of people go through her office. What I like is that she was very up front and clearly knows her buisness. I feel very comfortable having her as my surgeon.

Judith Park was great. She went over the procedure with me, and made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. She let me know this is a very serious surgery. And its going to take alot on my part, to get the positive resultes i want.
