Welcome Dr. Kim

We are proud to welcome Dr. Kim to TRA!

Dr. Kim joins our team as a neuroradiologist with a deep appreciation for the complexity of the brain and spine and a commitment to delivering precise, high-quality care. His interest in neuroradiology began with a fascination for neuroanatomy and evolved into a career centered on using advanced imaging techniques to make a meaningful difference in patients’ lives.

Neuroradiology requires both technical expertise and careful attention to detail. For Dr. Kim, one of the most rewarding aspects of his work is identifying subtle findings that can significantly impact a patient’s diagnosis and treatment — what he describes as making a “great catch.” These moments reflect the vital role radiologists play behind the scenes in guiding care decisions.

He also recognizes the discipline required to provide consistent excellence. Radiology demands a careful balance: being thorough without sacrificing efficiency. Striking that balance is essential to ensuring patients receive timely, accurate interpretations while maintaining the highest standards of care.

Outside of work, Dr. Kim is passionate about health, wellness, and longevity. Over the past year and a half, he has become an avid runner, logging 40–50 miles per week and preparing to complete several marathons this year. He is especially excited to explore the Pacific Northwest’s trail-running opportunities. Recently, he has also developed an interest in alpine pursuits and hopes to take a mountaineering course and summit Mount Rainier.

His adventurous spirit extends to travel as well. One of his long-term goals is to visit every U.S. National Park — a fitting aspiration for someone who values both endurance and exploration.

Dr. Kim also brings a grounded perspective to his work. A former mentor once told him, “If it’s not cancer or war, it’s not serious,” a reminder to maintain perspective during stressful moments. Another colleague shared the saying, “All bleeding eventually stops.” Together, these lessons have shaped his approach to challenges — encouraging calm, focus, and resilience.

We are excited to welcome Dr. Kim to TRA and look forward to the expertise, dedication, and energy he brings to our patients, partners, and community.
