As a radiologist, I’m like a detective with X-ray vision—I use imaging technology to look for clues inside the body to figure out why someone is not feeling well. The clues I find help solve the mystery of illness and play an important part in guiding treatment. I specialize in breast imaging and use different types of exams such as mammograms, ultrasounds, MRI, and PET/CT scans to detect disease. My patients include women having an annual screening mammogram and those who are in various stages of care for breast cancer. I see women who have a family history of breast cancer and are at higher risk, those who already have breast cancer to prepare for or monitor treatment, and those who have benign breast conditions. Very often, I may be the first breast cancer specialist a person meets. As part of the breast care team, I educate and guide my patients through imaging options based on their personal and family medical history. I also refer them to genetic counselors and oncologists, so they can learn more about their risk factors and treatment options. To help reduce anxiety, I take the time to explain the imaging findings and possible next steps. If I see something suspicious or unusual on an exam, I perform a biopsy. I also specialize in procedures localizations to mark the location of a breast tumor or abnormal tissue, which helps surgeons to tailor their surgical approach. At the University of Utah/Huntsman Cancer Hospital, we offer the latest technologies to all our patients. This includes digital breast tomosynthesis, an advanced three-dimensional technology that helps improve our ability to detect breast cancer. We also use breast MRI to screen high-risk women and to evaluate how much disease is present in patients with cancer. I am currently involved in researching how artificial intelligence can be used as a support tool to improve breast cancer detection. I serve as the Medical Director of Breast Imaging IT and Innovation and as the Fellowship Director of Breast Imaging training. I am a member of the Radiological Society of North America and serve as a member of the Informatics Committee, which helps to create methods and tools for radiologists to do their work more efficiently and effectively.

Dr. Park is the chief for Pediatric Otolaryngology-HNS at the University of Utah and Primary Children's Hospital. He oversees the operations for the eight pediatric otolaryngology fellowship trained physicians and has had the privilege to treat children for over fifteen years at Primary Children’s hospital. His scope of practice includes a wide range of pediatric otolaryngology conditions that include cytomegalovirus infections, hearing loss, airway obstruction, congenital neck lesions, and recurrent parotitis to name a few. He was born in Baltimore, Maryland and raised in New Jersey. He attended Swarthmore College for his undergraduate studies then moved to St. Louis to obtain his medical degree at the Washington University School of Medicine. He subsequently completed his residency in otolaryngology at Loyola University Medical Center in Chicago and his fellowship in pediatric otolaryngology at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Canada. He joined the faculty at Loyola University Medical Center in Chicago for seven years. In August 2002, he moved to Salt Lake City to become an Associate Professor at the University of Utah. He is currently a professor and pediatric otolaryngologist (Ear Nose and Throat Specialist) at the University of Utah and at Primary Children’s Hospital. He is the principal investigator for an NIH funded multi-institutional clinical trial to determine whether the antiviral drug, valganciclovir can improve hearing outcomes for children with cytomegalovirus (CMV), a very common and understudied cause of childhood hearing loss. In fact, CMV is the most common infectious cause of pediatric sensorineural hearing loss. He also established a CMV working group comprising of pediatric genetics, infectious disease, otolaryngology, audiology, neurology, department of health (EHDI) and ARUP laboratories to streamline clinical and research initiatives in this field. These collaborative efforts have resulted in the first clinically validated dry blood spot and saliva PCR assay available to test any child for congenital CMV infection. He also worked with Representative Menlove and others to introduce a bill in the Utah legislature to increase overall awareness about congenital CMV infection and to mandate early CMV testing for newborns who fail their hearing screen. This legislation was passed in July 2013, and Utah became the first state to introduce a hearing targeted screening program for early CMV diagnosis. He has served on the Otolaryngology Otology study section for the American Academy of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS), as a reviewer for NIH and on several program committees for the AAO-HNS, the Triologic Society and American Society of Pediatric Otolaryngology (ASPO). He was the chair of the American Society of Pediatric Otolaryngology (ASPO) research committee and created the ASPO CMV network to foster pediatric multi-institutional clinical studies. He a board member of the National CMV Foundation, the only national organization established to inform and educate others on specific prevention measures to protect against the risk of CMV. https://healthcare.utah.edu/ent/specialties/pediatric-ent/cytomegalovirus.php He has lectured throughout the United States, Europe and, Asia on a wide range of pediatric otolaryngology and hearing related topics. He is the author of over 80 journal articles and book chapters and greatly enjoys teaching undergraduates, medical students, residents and fellows. He has been married for over 20 years, has two great kids and two wonderful dogs. He enjoys swimming and triathlons.
