About

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.

Dr.Kim and staff were prompt and professional as always. Check in was a breeze , I loved the pre check in process with getting all the paperwork out of the way before I have to come in. I usually get my blood work done before my appointment with Dr.Kim but I dropped the ball this time and didn’t reschedule my blood appointment but was pleasantly surprised that Dr.Kim’s office office was able to draw my blood and do it while I was there. Thus saving me a trip or another visit. Overall very happy.

Appointment was for my annual wellness check up. Dr Kim is excellent. She is very caring, pleasant, attentive, and knowledgeable - went over my blood test results, answered all my questions, provide insight on new tests, and made sure I was up-to-date on all my vaccines, medications, and upcoming exams. I appreciate her.
