My journey to becoming a physician was driven by a desire to find and fix the root cause of problems, along with a love of science. Early in my training, I realized that while medication and surgery are powerful tools, they cannot fix everything. So much of what we face today stems from our lifestyle and life events—stresses that manifest as tangible dysfunction in the body's framework.
Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine immediately resonated with me because it offers a way to address the source of illness rather than just providing symptomatic relief. It is a discipline that uses the physician's hands to empower the body's profound, innate capacity to heal itself. My experience is both broad and deep, ranging from caring for newborns to treating critically ill patients in the ICU. This allows me to see your health through a truly holistic lens, from the cellular level to the grand scale of your body’s structural integrity.
The best part of my day is witnessing the power of the human body to heal. I am in awe of it every day, and it is a privilege to facilitate that journey for my patients. Hearing someone say, "I was so excited for my appointment today just so I could tell you..." is what fuels my passion for this work.
To build this practice, I pursued a path of deep, interdisciplinary study. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Cellular and Molecular Biology from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I then deepened my understanding of how lifestyle impacts health with a Master of Science in Human Nutrition from Columbia University.
I completed my Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) at the NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine, followed by a specialized residency in Osteopathic Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine at St. Barnabas Hospital in the Bronx. Throughout my training at institutions like the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Columbia University, I’ve contributed to research in neurology and cardiovascular health, ensuring my patient care is grounded in evidence-based practice.
When I'm not with patients, I enjoy cooking, working out, and spending quality time with my husband, Jay. These activities keep me grounded and help me maintain the same balanced, healthy lifestyle I encourage in my patients.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey to optimal health and wellness. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or seeking to improve your overall well-being, I am here to provide compassionate, effective care tailored to your unique needs.

What Our Patients Say
“Genuine Care with Expertise”
"Dr. Kim is truly one of the best healthcare professionals I’ve ever encountered. From the first visit, I felt confident in her expertise and genuinely cared for as a patient. She take the time to explain every detail in a way that’s easy to understand.."
“She is a five-start doctor!”
"She is a five-star doctor! I visited Dr. Kim for my muscle spasm. She not only identified the cause of my acute pain but also discovered and treated other chronic pain areas to which I had not known they were related. After the treatment, my body feels much lighter and properly aligned. Highly recommend!"
“Feeling like myself again”
"Dr. Grace Kim is amazing! I had severe neck pain that escalated to intense pressure in my head and back pain over two days. After struggling and hearing my husband's recommendation, I visited her clinic. In just one hour, her skilled hands completely relieved my pain, and I left feeling like myself again. I’m so grateful for her professional and compassionate care. Highly recommend her to anyone seeking effective, life-changing treatment! Thank you, Dr. Kim!"
“More flexible, less pain, even slept well”
"My experience with Dr. Kim was awesome! I'm so appreciative! This was my first visit. My Mom wanted me to see Dr. Kim. Dr. Kim made me feel so welcome. She was so professional and knowledgeable. She took time checking out my back, neck, arms, legs and hips for some stiffness and she gave me gentle adjustments. When I went back to Jazzercise, I was more flexible, had less pain and I even slept well. Thank you Dr. Kim!"
“Massive improvement”
"Dr Kim was super helpful and informative, especially since this was my first time trying OMT. She was able to help diagnose my hip pain and in just two sessions made a massive improvement in my hip discomfort and mobility!"
“Passionate about your wellbeing”
"One of the most effective treatments I have received. I have been having issues with my neck/back/sciatica. Dr Kim not only treated my pain points but also pointed out other issues I had and treated them as well!!! The session was very gentle, but somehow, already felt better midway through. Dr Grace Kim felt very knowledgeable and passionate about your wellbeing. She is also super friendly and comforting! Highly recommend - if you are not feeling well, what are you waiting for?!"
“Extremely thorough in examination”
"I have chronic back/neck pain from my line of work. Dr. Kim was extremely thorough in her examination in a way rarely seen from a healthcare provider. I appreciated her professionalism, her attention to the details, and her excellent bedside manners."
“Holistic and thoughtful approach”
"I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Kim. I came in with chronic upper and lower back pain, and not only did she provide immediate relief, but she also took the time to dig deeper into the root cause. She discovered that I had limited mobility in my ankle — something no other doctor had ever noticed — and explained how it was contributing to my lower back issues. Her holistic and thoughtful approach to treatment truly sets her apart. I left feeling better than I have in a long time and with hope for long-term improvement. Highly recommend!"
"Caring with Precision"
“Grace Kim is amazing…great combination of Caring and Precise Treatment skills...
so, YES, 5 stars, no 6! to Dr. Kim."
“Thorough and Attentive”
"Dr. Kim provided a thorough and attentive approach to addressing my long-standing chronic pains. Based on my experience, I would recommend this clinic to others seeking care for similar concerns!"
A Letter from a Patient:
"Grace Kim is amazing…great combination of Caring and Precise Treatment skills.
she’s a good listener, made expert use of my comments about issues I have, and have had, over decades.
addressed everything, in 2 sessions….felt really good after #1, but relapsed to a degree.
after #2 improvement keeps getting better and better!
my conditions: (it may make a difference to those reading, who want to make decisions about seeing Dr. Kim, Osteopath:
2 traumatic brain injuries, both from Auto Accidents. Smashed both legs during #1. and landed on my head after flying thru windshield.
#2 broke teeth on steering wheel, had implants, turned out the material used than created life threatening Auto Immune disease.
IN both instances, I mainly learned from Practitioners (non-Western types), self-healing modalities, which I still practice.
But at 82.5 the “numbers” caught up, and I have Osteoporis/OsteoArthritis.
just telling the story so those reading can see what I mean when I say Dr. Kim has been a great help, when I needed Hands On treatment.
her tea, her bath salts, both given with the treatment, are amazing healing items: the CARING is huge!
so, YES, 5 stars, no 6! to Dr. Kim."
