Having practiced medicine for more than 20 years, Dr. Kim most recently worked as a transplant pulmonologist in Orlando, Florida. She has a range of professional interests and skills including pulmonary diagnostic testing, interventional procedures such as lung biopsy, pulmonary rehabilitation, pulmonary critical care, comprehensive care for lung transplant and advanced lung disease patients, sleep medicine, telemedicine, and clinical mentorship.

“We’re excited to welcome Dr. Kim to our team as she establishes a comprehensive pulmonology practice on the Valley Isle,” said Chris Martin, MD, Assistant Area Medical Director for Pacific Permanente Group. “Her expertise will fill a crucial gap in services here on Maui, and she’s eager to collaborate with other specialists on the island to meet the respiratory needs of our community.”

A member of the American College of Chest Physicians, the International Society of Heart and Lung Transplantation, and the American Lung Association, Dr. Kim is board-certified in internal medicine, pulmonary disease, and critical care medicine.
