Park's accomplishments as a pioneer American neurosurgeon have been overlooked. After Park was appointed as Chair of Surgery at the University of Buffalo in 1884, he became the first American surgeon to precisely localize and remove a ~~posttraumatic~~ epileptic focus in the absence of external scars in 1886. Park introduced American physicians and surgeons to David Ferrier's research on localization of cerebral cortical function and Victor Horsley's techniques for extirpating epileptic foci. In 1895, Park became the first American surgeon to successfully treat spina bifida. In the same year, he wrote the first American monograph on surgery of the head. Park's case reports of successful operations on patients deemed almost incurable reveal boldness and ingenuity. Park's untimely death truncated a promising career.<ref name="Fine1998"/>
