Best Internist Torrance Near Me

4worldlovers: Dr. Gloria Kim grew up in Seoul, Korea before moving to sunny Southern California at age 9, not even knowing the alphabet. She learned quickly to adapt, but this experience also taught her at an early age that being different can still be positive. She learned about resilience and compassion, both acting as seeds that would blossom into her dream to become a physician.

Dr. Kim graduated with highest honors from UC Berkeley with a BA in Molecular & Cell Biology and with a minor in Ethnic Studies. She returned to Southern California to pursue her MD at UCLA School of Medicine, where she found her passion to become a general internist. She continued on to finish her internship and residency at UCLA. After completing her Internal Medicine training, Dr. Kim joined UCLA Internal Medicine Consultants of Santa Monica, where she actively engaged in inpatient and outpatient care, nursing home care, as well as medical student and resident teaching. After 12 years of practicing in Santa Monica, she is thrilled to be joining the team at the UCLA Torrance Primary and Specialty Care office, and being part of the vibrant and diverse South Bay community. She enjoys connecting with patients and developing partnerships with patients.

Her two greatest passions in life are medicine and family. When not working, you may catch her at sporting events or music lessons and recitals with her boys and husband. She enjoys cooking, baking, reading and spending time with her family.

4worldlovers:
Dr Janet Lee is amazing and so is her staff. Over the last 4 years of being a patient of theirs I only have confidence and positive experiences. Their thoroughness with my proactive healthcare the second to none as it allows me to feel confident things are not being missed in regards to my health. I also had a vein procedure done in the house which was a great experience. Dr Lee was very upfront to ask you what to expect and overall expectations and it was a success. Highly recommend this office and doctor Lee.

Absolutely the best doctor my Ohana has found for our 86 year old mother. Dr Lee and her staff have been a blessing from GOD for our mother who was incorrectly diagnosed with dementia by her former doctor of 10 years. Each and every staff member treats my mother as if she is the only patient seen by Dr. Lee and Dr. Joyce. No matter what the issue, Dr. Lee always takes her time to explain results and recommendations for my mother's continued health plan. Our Ohana is very blessed that my mother has Doctors and health care professionals that are concerned about her health, well being, and are working diligently to make our mother's health more comfortable in her senior years. Much Aloha, and a big Mahalo to Dr. Lee, Dr. Joyce and their Staff!

Been with Dr. Lee for ten years, she has helped me in every way possible. Her staff is attentive and caring. I highly recommend her, she is passionate about continuity of care.

From cell to bedside, Dr. Janet Lee is a strong advocate of preventative medicine, entrusting that health maintenance and quality of life are best achieved through lifestyle modifications, with medical intervention only as a last option. She spends a lot of her time counseling patients on healthy lifestyle choices, helping to develop good sustainable habits. Open minded to various types of medicine choices available, she feels internal medicine will be safest at bringing innovative therapies to practice.
