About Dr. Christine Lee-kim
Dr. Christine Lee-Kim is a board-certified allergist and immunologist with more than 15 years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based care for children and adults with allergic and immunologic conditions.
She is dedicated to building lasting relationships with her patients and developing personalized treatment plans that improve long-term health and quality of life.
Dr. Lee-Kim earned dual bachelor’s degrees in Physiological Science and Neuroscience from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) before receiving her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from Western University of Health Sciences. She completed her Internal Medicine residency at White Memorial Medical Center in Los Angeles, followed by her fellowship in Allergy and Immunology at the University at Buffalo.
Her passion for allergy and immunology was inspired by watching her father struggle with chronic sinus disease, asthma, and eczema before receiving the specialized care he needed. That experience continues to shape her empathetic, patient-centered approach and commitment to helping patients better understand and manage their conditions.
In clinical practice, Dr. Lee-Kim treats a wide range of allergic and immunologic disorders, including environmental and food allergies, asthma, eczema, chronic hives, contact dermatitis, medication allergies, primary immunodeficiency, eosinophilic disorders, and chronic rhinitis. She offers comprehensive diagnostic testing and advanced therapies, including allergy immunotherapy, oral immunotherapy (OIT) for food allergies, oral food and medication challenges, patch testing, drug desensitization, pulmonary function testing, and biologic therapies.
