Dr. Kim is fantastic! I have become so jaded by doctors who rush their care and hardly listen, but Dr. Kim took all the time I needed to hear my concerns and share all his insights. I love how he actually explains the medical/anatomical reasons behind his thinking rather than just treating me like I won't understand it. As patients we have a right to have a sense of what's going on with our health and I love that Dr. Kim helps me do that. He is extremely thorough and professional and clearly cares about his patients enough to give them is undivided attention. He has an old-school bedside manner. Most interactions with doctors today feel like a trip through a factory, but being seen by Dr. Kim makes me feel like an individual who matters to him.

Dr. Sung Tae Kim, M.D., is motivated by many things, but one in particular surfaces often in conversation—and that’s service to others. It’s why he’s made it a point to join medical missions traveling to some of the world’s underserved areas, from Port-au-Prince, Haiti, to Tecate, Mexico; San Pedro Sula, Honduras; and Penang, Malaysia. He found that medicine provides him with the chance to make a real difference. “To be in a place where you can help others is a tremendous blessing,” he says.
He chose family medicine because he wanted to be involved in community care. At the heart of his practice are his patient relationships. Dr. Kim places tremendous value on building on those relationships and truly understanding his patients physically, psychologically and socially. “I value the time that I spend with my patients,” he says. “They can talk about private matters that they may not even discuss with their spouses. When you have that deep understanding, it makes a difference in the care that you can provide.”
Dr. Kim works with his patients for a mutual understanding of what’s important to do to maintain good health. “I can’t expect patients to change 10 different things in one visit, but I can start them in the right direction for preventive care,” he says.
He chose Vanguard Medical Group because of its patient-first, personalized approach that mirrored his own approach to healthcare. “Vanguard Medical Group provides a platform where I’m able to use up-to-date medical knowledge and today’s technology in caring for patients. Importantly, the process is dynamic, and can conform to patients’ needs. The patient always comes first.”
When he’s not working, Dr. Kim enjoys traveling, hiking, playing golf and spending time with family. From time to time, he also assists his father with the family’s agricultural business.
