Dr. Sandra Kim
Dr. Sandra Kim has been practicing veterinary medicine since June 1999 and is the medical director of Lomita Pet Hospital. She graduated from the University of Minnesota, College of Veterinary Medicine. After graduation, she completed a one year rotating internship at Animal Specialty Group in Los Angeles, California. During her internship she was able to work with veterinary specialists in the fields of internal medicine, surgery, oncology, neurology and ophthalmology. She studied Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine at the Chi Institute in Reddick, Florida. It was through the Institute that she received her certification as a veterinary acupuncturist and veterinary food therapist. In April of 2013, she was fortunate to have been invited to visit the Humane Center for Animal Welfare in Amman, Jordan, where she took part in a training veterinarians and veterinary students. Because of her training in both western and eastern medicine, she feels that she can provide her clients and their pets even better care.
Dr. Luke Chanwoo Jung
Every morning when Dr. Jung opens his eyes, he feels fortunate to be doing something that he truly loves. Dr. Jung graduated from the Jeju National University, College of Veterinary Medicine in South Korea. After graduating, he obtained his masters degree at the same university and enjoyed writing scientific papers about autoimmune nerve diseases in the laboratory of veterinary anatomy. Dr. Jung then came to the United States and completed a year of the clinical training program at Louisiana State University, School of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Jung’s interests are in the fields of internal medicine, ophthalmology and dermatology. He loves taking care of animals and is fascinated by the interesting cases that he sees every day. The variety of food, people, and culture, as well as the wonderful weather was what drew Dr. Jung to move to Southern California. He is enjoying his life here and is looking forward to meeting all of the wonderful clients and pets that we have at Lomita Pet Hospital, and becoming part of our family
Dr. Piyalak Intongkum
Dr. Piyalak Intongkum ("Dr. Pear") was born and raised in Bangkok, Thailand. Her love for animals started very early in her life as her home was no stranger to an array of cats and dogs. When she was ten years old, her puppy became infected with the Parvo virus and died suddenly. As this was the first loss she had ever experienced and with little ability to assist her ailing pet, she told herself that she would one day grow up to be a veterinarian and aid animals.
Dr. Pear graduated from Chulalongkorn University, one of the best veterinary schools in Thailand and practiced as a small animal practitioner for three years before moving to the United States with her family. In December 2013, Dr. Pear achieved the Educational Commission for Foreign Veterinary Graduates (ECFVG) Certification program. Holistic and alternative medicine have always interested her, especially Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine. She studied the Small Animal Acupuncture Program at the Chi Institute in Reddick, Florida and received her Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist (CVA) degree. Currently she is studying Chinese Veterinary Herbal Medicine to become a Certified Veterinary Chinese Herbalist (CVCH) from the same school. She is eagerly awaiting for you and your pet to become part of our Lomita Pet Hospital family
