Biography/ Philosophy of Care
John W. Kim, M.D., is a pediatrician with Norton Children’s Medical Group. He earned his medical degree from the University of Louisville School of Medicine, where he also completed his pediatrics residency.
Dr. Kim chose pediatrics because he enjoys working with kids and values the opportunity to make a positive impact on people’s lives every day. He understands that visiting the doctor can be intimidating for children, so he focuses on creating a comfortable and safe environment during their visits. He makes it a priority to address children first, engaging them in conversation so they feel at ease and begin building trust with him. When meeting families for the first time, Dr. Kim ensures that parents and caregivers know their child is receiving authentic, compassionate care.
In his free time, Dr. Kim volunteers at his church’s youth program and serves on the mission committee, partnering with local organizations such as Kentucky Refugee Ministries and Highland Community Ministries to help those in need.

As a first time parent we were VERY skiddish and direct with exactly what we wanted to see and the information we wanted about our daughter. Dr Kim was recommended to us by a family member. We have cut Dr Kim little slack and he has continuously went above and beyond and has absolutely earned our respect. Our daughter has had some medical concerns and Dr Kim has been VERY proactive about everything. It's the EXACT experience we were hoping for with a pediatrician. Dr Kim is the only person we've talked to that, we feel, cares as much about our daughter as we do. I will continue recommending Dr Kim to everyone I know.
