Dr. Park's approach to veterinary care is guided by Psalm 78:72 (NIV): "And David shepherded them with integrity of heart; with skillful hands he led them." For him, being a veterinarian is more than a profession—it is a calling. He is committed to serving every furry patient with compassion, integrity, and expert care, ensuring the health and happiness of beloved pets and their families.  

​

Dr. Park earned his degree in Veterinary Medicine from Kangwon National University in South Korea and completed a clinical rotation program at Louisiana State University's School of Veterinary Medicine. After over 10 years as a veterinarian in the Greater Los Angeles area, Dr. Park founded Norwalk Animal Hospital to create a trusted space for pet health and well-being.
