Dr. Sue Kim

I am a Bay Area native. I was raised in Mountain View, CA, and left to study biology at the University of Colorado in Boulder. After college, I went on to receive my Master of Sciences degree in Pomona, CA at Western University of Health Sciences. I am a board-certified Physician Assistant specializing in medical and cosmetic dermatology. I have over seventeen years of experience in dermatology, and my specialties include eczema, psoriasis, acne, rashes, and skin cancer prevention and treatment. 

My interest in dermatology started after I spent time in pediatric dermatology.  Dermatology is an area of medicine that not only has its physiological challenges, but has its emotional ones as well.  I was so moved by the strength and resilience of the children I helped treat, I wanted to give back to them what they had lost due to their disease.

I learned about the organization, Locks of Love, which uses donations of human hair to make hairpieces for patients with alopecia (hair loss). I remember finding a stylist to cut my waist-length locks, giving me a pixie cut, so I could donate my long hair and help these children. It was so rewarding to help them cope with their illness, keep their spirits high, and restore their confidence. This is what I love the most about dermatology.  

In Colorado, I developed an appreciation for the outdoors and natural life. I love to spend my free time skiing, hiking, or searching for a secret swimming hole. I enjoy trail running with my dog, gardening, and exploring the Bay Area with my husband and two daughters.

I was born, raised, and currently reside in the Bay Area. I am studying to earn my degree in nursing. Working at PCD, I have a direct impact on patients' lives as I help restore their confidence from the inside out and the outside in. Skin health is essential for overall health, and taking care of our skin starts rights away. At PCD we treat patients of all ages, giving us the opportunity to create lifelong relationships with patients. What I love most is getting to know our patients and learning about their journey’s. It reminds me of my own journey and what led me to pursue a career in medicine. As a child, I spent a lot of my time taking care of my grandparents, and learning about the human body, how it heals and how resilient we are. Everyday, I am fascinated by how our body’s function, how we fight disease, and how we restore health.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my sister and father. I like reading books. I love learning new things. I also have a passion for working with kids.

I was born and raised in the Bay Area. I recently graduated from MVLA adult school, and earned my diploma as a Certified Medical Assistant! My goal is to pursue a career in nursing. From an early age, I knew I wanted to pursue a career in the medical field. In High School, I was a participant in “The Health Academy” and my teachers discovered in me, a passion for medicine. Working at PCD is an amazing experience. I am able to meet great people, learn from the amazing team around me, and heighten my passion in a field that already brings me joy. Because skin is so personal, it is humbling and inspiring to not only see a patients’ outside transformation, but the transformation from within as they start to heal.

My immigrant parents are my daily motivation to keep striving for a better future. I started helping in my family’s restaurant in high school and have always worked hard, like my parents did, to achieve my goals. At PCD, I am given a similar opportunity to serve, learn, and grow, and take care of a community of patients with an open mind and an open heart.

I was born and raised in the Bay Area, and I’ve always had a passion for connecting with people and making them feel comfortable. As a Receptionist and Patient Care Coordinator at Pacific Coast Dermatology & Wellness Center, I love using my communication skills to make every patient feel welcomed and supported throughout their personal journey. I’m passionate about skincare and dedicated to helping others achieve their healthiest skin while ensuring they have a positive experience with us. In my personal time, I enjoy going to my family ranch with my husband and our dog Poppy. 

Frequent visits to a dermatology clinic for skincare treatments, particularly laser hair removal, have not only deepened my understanding of the procedure but also ignited a passion for dermatology. The prospect of being part of PCD, a team of adept professionals committed to advancing skin health and wellness, is a dream realized, offering the prospect of perpetual learning and professional growth in a field that captivates me.

As a Bachelor's Degree holder in Radiologic Technology, with a Cum Laude honor, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the healthcare field. As I continue to advance in my career, I remain committed to contributing to the advancement of healthcare that benefits both patients and medical professionals.

During my leisure time, I indulge in the companionship of my cat, Korki, whose presence brings immense joy into my life. When he's at rest, I engage in household chores to uphold an organized and welcoming living space. I also relish moments watching movies, engaging in physical exercise, exploring new destinations, and occasionally convening with cherished family and friends for quality time together.

In order to persevere and maintain a positive outlook, my family stands as the cornerstone of my inspiration and resilience, offering unwavering support and encouragement as I pursue my aspirations. Their love propels my determination to succeed, while their unwavering faith provides the fortitude to surmount any hurdle.

I have been working in the healthcare industry for a few years now. Growing up, I’ve always had a calling to help people, which is why I participated as a volunteer for a medical outreach program in high school. From this experience on, I knew I had to work in a medical industry. Working at PCD is a privilege. Everyday, I have the opportunity to gain knowledge from the awesome team around me. I am also able to talk with patients and learn their stories. And my favorite part about my job is the warm feeling I get knowing that I am doing something to help someone else in their time of need. I like being a part of patients’ journey from beginning to end.When I’m not busy working, I enjoy reading books and doing calligraphy. I also love spending time with my dog, watching Netflix series with my boyfriend, and video chatting with my family.
