Julie H. Kim, M.D., FACP, Brain Treatment Center Medical Director

Dr. Julie Kim attended and graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Sciences from Kent State University. Through a 6-year combined undergraduate-medical school program, she obtained her Medical Degree from Northeastern Ohio University College of Medicine in 1996 at the age of 23. Subsequently, she completed her residency at Lutheran General Hospital in Des Plaines, IL, with a specialization in Internal Medicine. She is Board-Certified in Internal Medicine and a Fellow of the American College of Physicians.

 

Prior to joining the Brain Treatment Center team, she spent 14 years practicing primary care, during which she cultivated a deep connection to her patients and a life-long commitment to providing compassionate, high-quality care. She has brought that passion to BTC and is dedicated to working with patients to encourage brain development and optimize brain function, non-invasively and without the use of medication.

 

Since joining the Brain Treatment Center in 2013, she has pioneered and worked extensively with the treatment of patients with autism, post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, stroke, depression, and other neurological disorders. She has seen firsthand the effects of how MeRT therapy has changed the lives of her patients and the community of family and friends that surround each patient. Dr. Kim takes pride in being able to effectively communicate how an individual’s brainwave patterns may be affecting their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. And more importantly, how MeRT can be used to optimize those brainwaves to improve one’s mood, cognition, and actions.

 

During her time away from work, Dr. Kim and her daughter serve in the National Charity League and support OC Ukraine which was co-founded in 2022 by her high school son to help refugee families from Ukraine.
