Lea Shim, DO

Lea Shim, DO, is an internist who offers comprehensive primary care to adults, including osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT). Inspiration to go into medicine came at an early age. A close family member fought, and thankfully overcame, a life-threatening illness. Her goal is to have a lasting, positive impact on people’s lives, even during their most vulnerable times. Away from work she enjoys being creative: sewing, crafting, baking, and improving her cooking skills.

Practice Philosophy: I aim to help patients reach attainable health goals that fit their individual lifestyles by fostering meaningful, encouraging and trusting relationships. Health changes can be overwhelming. I do my best to let patients feel heard. I give straight-forward, digestible information to make people feel more comfortable and empowered, even during illness. I strive to simplify and coordinate care for all my patients. Being a doctor reminds me every single day of the gift that is time and health. I am honored to have the opportunity to help people in our community achieve optimal well-being.
