Where I practice
About me
After emigrating from Seoul, South Korea, as a young child, I was raised in Los Angeles, California, and moved after professional training to Seattle, where I now call home. I graduated from the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and completed both my residency and my fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco. I am board certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology. I am happily married with 2 children who share my love of medicine and helping others; one became a physician and the other a social worker. As clinical associate professor at the University of Washington Department of Ophthalmology, I enjoy teaching medical students, residents, and ophthalmic assistants about ophthalmology and oculoplastics (ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery).
About my practice
I am a collaborative provider who encourages patients to take an active role in their health. Through education and shared decision-making, I help patients to understand their condition and work together to reach optimal outcomes with the best medical and surgical care. I am especially interested in serving patients with eyelid, tear duct, and eye-socket problems. I am fluent in Korean and am happy to see patients who speak the language.
How I thrive
Spending time in nature, especially the snow-capped mountains, helps me to clear my mind and inspires my soul. I stay healthy with regular exercise, running, biking, skiing and by maintaining a healthy diet. I am an avid reader who attends church and Bible study.

How we choose our network providers and hospitals
Kaiser Permanente uses the same quality, member experience, or cost-related measures to select practitioners and facilities in Marketplace Silver-tier plans as it does for all other Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) products and lines of business, and uses the same geographic distribution consideration to select hospitals in Marketplace plans as it does for all other Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) products and lines of business. The measures may include, but are not limited to, HEDIS/CAHPS performance, member/patient complaints, patient safety scores, hospital quality measures, and geographic need. Members enrolled in KFHP Marketplace plans have access to all professional, institutional and ancillary health care providers who participate in KFHP plans' contracted provider network, in accordance with the terms of the members' KFHP plan of coverage. All Kaiser Permanente Medical Group physicians and network physicians are subject to the same quality review processes and certifications.
A narrow network is defined as a tailored, tiered, or high-performance network that has 80 percent or less overlap with a health plan’s broadest network offered to a member in any type of plan offered by that health plan. Kaiser Permanente does not have a narrow network with respect to its Marketplace plans. Members enrolled in Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) Marketplace plans have access to the same provider networks as members enrolled in all other KFHP plans.
