Serving central Ohio with state-of-the-art laser technology and expert surgical precision to fully release your lip and tongue-tie
About me
Hi! I'm Dr. Julie Park, a dedicated Oral Surgeon specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of lip and tongue ties. With over 20 years of experience in dentistry and surgery, I have developed a gentle and surgically precise approach to treating lip and tongue ties in infants, children, and adults. When I am not in the clinic, I enjoy weekends at the Worthington Farmers market with my kids, exploring the food scene with my husband, and long nature walks.
After the birth of my daughter in 2017, I struggled with nursing, so much that I had to stop earlier than I had wanted. At the time, I knew nothing about how a lip and tongue tie could impact feeding, even with my extensive oral training! Five years later, with the birth of my son, I had the pleasure of lactation support before and after his release, and what a world of difference that made!
​
My children have inspired me to provide the most precise surgical release and gentle support to all infants, children, and adults because, like them, all humans have the right to eat, speak, and thrive!
Education
I am a proud graduate of Case Western Reserve University's dental school, where I received my Doctor of Dental Medicine degree in 2005. I then completed Oral Maxillofacial Surgery residency at Brookdale Hospital in Brooklyn, NY. I am a board certified Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon and I hold memberships in the American Dental Association, American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, the Ohio Dental Association, and the Ohio Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons. In 2019, I obtained my CO2 laser lightscalpel certification, further expanding my expertise in the field of dentistry.

My husband and I were referred to Dr. Park when my baby was 2 weeks. We were recommended and referred to have a frenectomy due to my baby having a poor latch. Dr. Park and her team made me feel comfortable and completely safe. Seeing that this is my first child I was super scared about procedure. They answered all our questions & provided extensive details & explanation of would happen during and post op. The staff are super friendly and the ambience off the office is welcoming. I would 100% recommend Dr. Park and her team to anyone who asks. My baby has improved tremendously !

My daughter and I had a tongue-tie release procedure with Dr Park and couldn't be happier with the results! Dr Park is professional, caring, knowledgeable, and skilled surgeon. Dr Park and her team(especially Ashley and Hayley) made me feel very well cared for. Ashley was very friendly and made the entire process comfortable from start to finish.
I definitely recommend Dr Park and her staff for any oral surgery needs.

Dr Park and her team did such an amazing job with our son. From being so patient during the lip and tongue tie surgery to customizing the surgical room with toys and putting on his favorite show on the tv, we truly felt like we got the five star treatment. So happy we finally figured out the root of my son’s eating and speech issues.
