Orthodontics is not just about teeth; its about people. As an orthodontist, I have the opportunity to change the physical nature of an individuals smile, but have even a greater opportunity to be a small part of someones life. I also have the opportunity to speak truth and encouragementto let them know they are wonderfully made.
Dr. Eric Park started his orthodontic career as a patient undergoing braces treatment while growing up in Lithia Springs. He graduated from Lithia Springs High School and attended the University of Georgia. There he earned a degree in microbiology and graduated magna cum laude.
He completed his Doctorate of Medical Dentistry at the University of Alabama School of Dentistry and was inducted into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon national dental honors society. Dr. Park continued his education by completing a three-year residency program in orthodontics, and earned a Master of Science from the University of Florida.
In addition to providing excellent care, Dr. Park strongly believes he should take an active leadership role within his profession. He has served as the past president to the University of Florida Orthodontic Alumni Association, the Orthogators. He also currently serves on the Georgia Association of Orthodontists executive committee and as the Southern Association of Orthodontists director for the state of Georgia.

Dr. Park has been blessed to have the opportunity to use his education to serve others. He has participated in Give Kids a Smile, a program designed to give access to dental care to those who would not regularly be able to obtain such services, and Georgia Mission of Mercy. He also had the chance to give dental screenings to athletes who participated in the Special Olympics, as well as make mouthguards for the competitors. Dr. Park has also been on a number of dental mission trips to Peru and Honduras.
In his spare time, Dr. Park can be found cheering on the Dawgs Between the Hedges when football season rolls around, as well as the Atlanta Braves. His favorite activity is hanging out with his family, especially when serving as taxi driver to his kids dance, baseball, and church activities. He and his wife Lorie are blessed to have five children.

The stars are solely for the women/front office and Daisha (spelling). I was greeted upon entering, they were friendly and I had a long talk with Daisha (spelling) my "tech " while waiting on the Dr. I waited about 30min to see him and I had no idea he had entered the room until I felt another person. That's when my experience started to turn sour. There was no greeting or anything. I felt his bedside manners as they call it were absolutely horrible. I had to greet him. Asked how he was and he was extremely short and acted as if he was bothered. I was literally there to get a clear retainer and pay all of $300. I was prepared to make that payment in full might I add that day, however, I was advised I'd have to come back. The doctors mannerisms really bothered me. I was recommended by someone and when I called them to tell them how my appointment went, she said "yes, when I went to get another retainer he seemed bothered. Not sure if it was because he wasn't getting paid that day for the consult but when I went back to pay he was nicer". Paying or not paying, mannerisms from a doctor that I am trusting to conduct a service is important to me personally. I'll be canceling my appointment. I can take my business elsewhere and do not have to patronize this one.

I've been seeing Dr. Park for my Invisalign. And so far, it's going well. Everyone is so nice, the place is really clean, and I really appreciate that Dr. Park called to check how everything was going, after getting my Invisalign. He definitely knows what he's doing, very knowledgeable, and professional. It's also nice that they give treats/freebies :) Thank you so much!

We have been a part of the Park Orthodontist family for 10+ years. Dr. Park treated my two oldest, and then my two youngest and finally me. Wow!!! I am so happy with my teeth!! I have compliments almost daily, and the entire office was just as excited as I was as the final results because they truly care about their patients. And, because of COVID, we were required to wear our masks correctly (nose and mouth fully covered) and wait in the car until a chair was available. We were required to wash our hands and rinse our mouths before treatment as well. They did a fantastic job keeping us protected. I have and will continue to highly recommend Park Orthodontist for anyone wanting to improve their smile. They are the best, hands down!!

My 12 year old just received his bottom braces. Everyone here makes you feel so welcomed and appreciated. I was not sure how it would work with covid at the orthodontist but it went really good. I saw another review that said they were not doing enough, but we had to have on a mask, they had on mass,, we had to wait in the car, there was only one other child in the office and they were 20' away from mine, and enough hand sanitizer to fill a swimming pool . We definitely felt safe and love Dr Park and his whole staff!

I was on the fence about getting bracing since i am in my forties. My teeth were teeth were continuing to shift in the front to the point my front two teeth were beginning to seriously overlap. It also didn't help that my job requires me to speak publicly making me a bit self conscious about my smile and when I talk to others. Orthodontics is not covered my health insurance so I knew i would be paying 100% out of pocket. Dr Park and his team did my initial evaluation and estimate. He was upfront about the dental work he would need done before braces. His team was very transparent about the cost and the time I was expected to wear braces. There weren't any hidden costs and I was able to finance monthly payments. Each each visit has been great and I now have a smile that doesn't make me self conscious when i speak. My experience here has been awesome!

I am definitely biased because I know the Parks personally but how business is done was not any different from how home life is done. The office environment was welcoming, and the staff was easy going but very professional. Park Orthodontics came highly recommended to me and I concur! By the way, kudos on the Covid response. I was a little apprehensive prior to the appt but I was glad the traffic was well controlled with the proper amount of precautions in place. Thanks for the paying attention to details.
