Greetings From Your Team
at Orange Park Dentistry!

Dr. Park returned to Korea to enlist in the army and later served as an interpreter in Afghanistan with the Korean Army medical unit alongside the U.S. Army. After returning to the United States from his military service, he was inspired to pursue dentistry after shadowing his younger brother, a practicing dentist in Atlanta. After applying to dental school three times, Dr. Park was finally accepted into the University of Florida College of Dentistry, where he earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree in 2018. His determination, faith, and promise to God that he would use his skills to help others carried him through.

“After the rejection of the 27 schools, I almost gave up. Being a husband and not working, it just doesn't feel good. So the third time I applied, I thought, 'You know what? I'm all in.' I only applied to one school. I told God that I would help as many people as I could if I got the opportunity. Well, I got in," Dr. Park said with a smile.

Dr. Park’s philosophy of care is rooted in compassion and generosity. Inspired by his wife’s selflessness in caring for her sick mother, he learned the importance of using what you have to help others, and it's a lesson he carries with him into his practice each day. He is especially mindful of patients without dental insurance and is committed to supporting those striving to improve their lives, regardless of their financial circumstances.

"I think of it more as 'if I don't do it, then I'm withholding something from another human.' As a man of faith, God has given me this opportunity, this ability, and this platform to provide this type of service to people," said Dr. Chin Park.

To Dr. Park, dentistry is more than treating teeth; it is an opportunity to recognize the good in people, lend a helping hand, and make a lasting difference in the community by providing care to those who might not have access to the care they need.
