Dr. Kim specifically sought out and joined Hawaii Pacific Neuroscience (HPN) because she deeply resonated with HPN’s commitment to serving a diverse patient population—especially those who are underserved. Growing up and training in New York City, she strongly advocates for breaking down socioeconomic barriers to healthcare access.
She recognized that headache disorders demand a multifaceted approach, encompassing considerations such as sleep patterns, mood, stress levels, dietary habits, and concurrent medical comorbidities. She is excited about establishing a one-of-a-kind comprehensive headache program through collaborative efforts with sleep, preventive lifestyle, and other specialists. Drawing from her fellowship experience, she is passionate about bringing new advancements in headache treatments and research to maximize treatment outcomes and enhance patients’ quality of life.
Our Headache Center is recognized nationally for its work not only in providing the most advanced, cutting-edge treatments, but also for collaborating with leading centers across the U.S. and globally to deliver groundbreaking clinical research.
