Biography


Dr. Joseph Kim is a board-certified gastroenterologist with additional fellowship training in therapeutic endoscopy. He treats a range of gastrointestinal health conditions and believes having a healthy gut is one ... of the central pillars of overall health. For every patient, Dr. Kim’s goal is to provide time-efficient, cost-effective and high-quality care.


In general gastroenterology, Dr. Kim cares for conditions including irritable bowel syndrome, celiac disease, acid reflux, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, blood in the stool, rectal bleeding, unintentional weight loss, diverticulosis, hemorrhoids, difficulty swallowing, eosinophilic esophagitis, liver diseases, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, microscopic colitis, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, biliary cancer, pancreatic cancer and colon cancer.

Dr. Kim offers diagnostic tools such as Bravo pH monitoring and small bowel capsule endoscopy. He is also deeply grateful to have the opportunity to help patients prevent cancer or catch it in its early stages through colon cancer screening.

In order to better serve his patients, Dr. Kim completed an additional fellowship year of therapeutic endoscopy under the mentorship of world-renowned advanced endoscopist David Carr-Locke, MD. Some of the therapeutic endoscopy procedures he performs include endoscopic ultrasound, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), luminal stenting and large polyp resection.

When not caring for patients, Dr. Kim loves spending quality time with his family, including his wife, three daughters, two dachshunds and two rabbits. His favorite activities are golfing and trying new restaurants.

Insurances accepted

Baylor Scott & White has established agreements with several types of insurance to ensure your health needs are covered.

Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice. Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice
