Dr. Julie Kim
Our Medical Director
Dr. Julie Kim is a Board-Certified Internist with over 20 years of medical experience and the Medical Director of the Brain Treatment Centers in Newport Beach, San Diego, and Cardiff since 2013.
She has treated over 5,000 patients with MeRT® at the flagship Brain Treatment Center in Newport Beach, where it all first started. As the most experienced MeRT clinician worldwide, Dr. Kim is the one who trains all other physicians in the MeRT technology.
Dr. Kim has dedicated the last decade to helping those in need and who can benefit from MeRT (Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy)
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.
