Overview

• Dr. Esther Park has resigned from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario, effective April 30, 2025, and will no longer practice medicine.
• Her resignation follows Toronto Public Health’s February warning to 2,500 patients about potential exposure to blood-borne viruses due to improperly sterilized instruments at her clinic.
• Park signed an undertaking that bars her from reapplying for a medical license, a measure that goes beyond standard license revocation procedures.
• The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario has closed its investigations into Park without a public disciplinary hearing, citing confidentiality around the complaints.
• Critics, including affected patients, have raised concerns about the lack of transparency and accountability in the regulatory process.
