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.

Amazing Doctor
He the most well mannered doctor I have ever been with. He worked super hard to repair my mitral valve then went far and beyond to make a child's mechanical valve fit in my heart. Hardly any scars at all. When I heard he was switching from one state to another I almost moved as well! You even call with a question, nurses don't talk, He does!!!! He is all around amazing!!

Dr. Pak, whose name means “to shine brightly” replaced my failing mitral valve that was severely calcified, clipped the left atrial appendage and did a Maze Procedure to seal off clots ... most successfully!! My incision is amazingly undetectable as far as I am willing to expose. Dr. Pak availed himself to every question and followed up with a phone call, even a call acknowledging a thank you card I sent reporting my healthy living! Dr. Pak has a sincere ?? for others!

I had aortic valve replacement surgery with one bypass in February. When I first met Dr. Pak, I felt immediately calmed. Had planned on getting a second opinion, but I decided it wasn’t necessary. He assured me that he and his team would take good care of me. Recovery has gone better than I expected. I would definitely recommend Dr. Pak!

Dr. Pak is an exceptional surgeon. When I was diagnosed with a bad mitral valve and looking at surgery...everyone I asked recommended him and I work at a hospital. He is truly passionate and caring. And I firmly believe he 'worked' harder to repair my valve so as not to have to replace it where others might not have. He help save my life and my lifestyle.

He has conducted a triple by-pass surgery on my father, and a quadruple by-pass surgery on my grandfather. He is a great surgeon, and one of the best in the country.
