Paul E Kim, MD

Dr. Kim, a native of Ohio, received a BS in biomedical sciences from University of Michigan and a medical degree from the University of Michigan Medical School. He did his residency in diagnostic radiology and a fellowship in Neuroradiology at Los Angeles County+USC Medical Center. After completion of his residency and fellowship training he joined private practice, West Valley Radiology Medical Group, in West Hills from September 1994 till August 1999. He reinstated his medical privileges at USC from September 1999 – present. He has been an invited instructor for the American Society of Spine Radiology and currently a reviewer for the American Journal of Roentgenology and Neurosurgery. He also has been an invited author for multiple textbooks and journals.
