Meet Dr. Park

Dr. Caroline Park is a fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon who specializes in the shoulder and elbow. She treats the full range of shoulder and elbow problems, from sports injuries to arthritis and complex reconstruction. Her goal is simple: to get patients back to doing the things they love, whether that's competing in their sport, returning to work, or living without pain.

  • Anatomic, Reverse Total shoulder replacement

  • Partial shoulder replacement (hemiarthroplasty)

  • Complex shoulder reconstruction and revision surgery

  • Rotator cuff tears: arthroscopic and open repair

  • Shoulder instability: Labral (Bankart) repair, Latarjet and bone block procedures

  • Elbow surgery: arthroscopy, biceps and triceps tendon repair, UCL repair and reconstruction

An Athlete First

Dr. Park understands what it means to want to get back in the game. At Princeton, she was a four-year letter winner on the Division I women's ice hockey team. She went on to compete in the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, representing Korea in women's ice hockey. That experience shapes how she cares for patients. She knows recovery is about more than the operation, and she partners with each patient on a plan built around their goals.

Research and Professional Involvement

Dr. Park has authored more than 30 peer-reviewed publications and book chapters and has presented her research at national meetings, including the ASES and AOSSM annual meetings. She is a member of the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons, where she has served on the Impact & Opportunity Committee, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, and the Piedmont Orthopaedic Society.
