He will see patients at a variety of MOR clinics, including Chicago, Oak Brook, Westchester and Munster, IN. Dr. Park’s clinical and research interests are in all spinal disorders, particularly minimally invasive surgery, biportal endoscopic spinal procedure, and cervical spine conditions and treatments.
“We are excited to welcome Dan Park to the team,” says Dr. Kern Singh, spine surgeon at Midwest Orthopedics at Rush and director of spine surgery at Rush University Medical Center. “He brings more than 15 years of experience managing complex spine patients, along with a mastery of the most advanced surgical techniques.”

Dr. Park is one of the first surgeons in the US to adopt the biportal endoscopic spine procedure and has been performing this ultra-minimally invasive surgery since 2017. He has trained many other physicians, written many publications, and worked with the medical industry to make the procedure even more reproducible and effective. He is co-founder of the World Unilateral Biportal Endoscopic Society-America.
