About
Nuffield Specialist Consultant Cataract & Retinal Surgeon since 2015
Thank you for looking at my profile. I have been established at the Nuffield Health, Taunton Hospital as a Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon since 2015.
I provide specialist cataract surgery (with premium lens implants), retinal treatments and a range of other ophthlamic services.
Further Details
Current Practice
I am a fellow of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists in the UK.
I have provided private eye care as a Consultant at the Nuffield since 2015 and also held an NHS Consultant post at Musgrove Park Hospital, Taunton since 2015.
I provide micro-incision cataract surgery with premium intra-ocular lens implants including toric lens implants and multi-focal lens implants. I also provide a range of eye procedures such as YAG laser capsulotomy, eye injections for macular disease and retinal operations (vitrectomy) for retinal detachment, diabetes, macular hole and epi-retinal membrane.
I also provide complex cataract surgery and manage cataract surgery complications for the region.
I am an educational supervisor recognised by the Royal College of Ophthalmologists and at Musgrove provide training for eye surgery.
Training History
I qualified as a doctor from the University of Bristol in 2005 with honours in medicine and surgery. I completed an additional year of research to be awarded an honours degree in anatomical sciences.
In 2007 I started performing eye surgery. I completed seven years of Ophthalmic surgical training in South West England. Following this, I completed an internationally respected retinal specialist fellowship at the University of Toronto, Canada. This provided me with extensive experience in the treatment of retinal disorders at the largest retinal unit in North America.

Very professional and clear management plan and explanation
5
Clear explanations. Technically sound. Approachable
5
Excellent in all respects, from initial contact, consultation, operations (cataracts - both eyes), and follow-up. Mr Park replied directly to my early emails, answering all my questions in a detailed and professional manner. At the first consultation, he gave a comprehensive overview of the options available to me, and again answered all my questions thoroughly. Between consultation and operation, he always replied promptly to any queries I had. During the operation, he talked me through the various stages as they were about to occur; this was very reassuring. At the final follow-up, he made me aware of potential future issues which I needed to look out for. At all times, I found Mr Park to be easy to talk to, very professional, very approachable, and quick to respond to communications. I undertook a substantial amount of research before selecting an eye surgeon (you only get one pair of eyes!) and couldn't be happier with my choice and the results of my operations.

Mr Jonathan Park was very pleasant and professional and was reassuring, especially during the procedure, when I was very nervous.

Mr Park, in my opinion, is the ideal consultant ophthalmic surgeon. He is professional, without doubt very knowledgeable and always very approachable. He is empathetic and listens to any concerns I might might have and addresses those concerns whenever possible. When I moved area, Mr Park was recommended to me by my previous ophthalmic surgeon whom I had known for many years and trusted implicitly and he was 100% spot on with his recommendation. In conclusion, I should say that it puts my mind at rest, to know that I am under the care of Mr Jonathon Park...!
5
I found Mr Park and his team excellent and helped me to relax before and during my cataract operation. I am so pleased with the result and still can’t believe that most of the time I am able to not wear glasses after 50 years! A big thank you Mr Park.
