Daniel Kim, MD

Daniel Kim, MD, Pediatrician, joined Esperanza in 2020. Dr. Kim knew he wanted to work at Esperanza since completing an SMI term back in 2014 while he was a medical student at SUNY Downstate College of Medicine in Brooklyn, NY. Growing up in the working-class community of Woodside, NY and being a child of immigrant parents, he recognized that part of his calling was to work in medically-underserved areas. While completing his residency training in pediatrics at Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital, he gained experience working for Open Door Family Health Center in Ossining, NY, which serves a predominantly Hispanic and immigrant population. One of his favorite verses is Philippians 3:8. He hopes that through Esperanza he can continually grow in Christ, with others, and to help bring others to Him.
