Kheir Clinic opens pediatric specialty clinic in Koreatown offering quality care for children

Kheir Clinic has opened a pediatric specialty clinic.

According to Kheir Clinic, Kheir Family & Pediatric (KFP) recently opened at the former Bong Sook Chang Pediatrics at 6th Street and Kingsley Drive, providing comprehensive medical services for infants, children, and adolescents.

“We have always had a family medicine specialist who can treat all ages, but with the opening of this specialized clinic, we have recruited a new pediatrician,” said Jae Hee Lee, External Affairs and Communications Specialist at Kheir.

The pediatrician that Kheir Clinic has recruited is Youngtae Kang. Kang completed his internship and residency at Seoul National University Hospital and his residency again at Hawaii State University Hospital. He is licensed to practice medicine in Korea, and the United States, both Hawaii and California. Kang is bilingual in English and Korean, enabling him seamless communication between English-speaking children and Korean-speaking parents.

“I hope to continue to work closely with the community to help improve community healthcare by keeping children healthy,” said Kang. “I became a pediatrician because I am happy and rewarded to be a part of the process of helping children grow up healthy and well and become members of society.”

Joining Kang at Kheir Clinic’s pediatrics practice is Jennifer Menjivar-Lopez. Menjivar-Lopez will focus on English and Hispanic patients.

Kheir Clinic’s pediatrics provides comprehensive care for children and adolescents, including checkups, physical examinations, immunizations, growth and developmental screenings, dental, vision, and hearing exams, and nutritional counseling.

Kheir Clinic accepts a wide range of insurance plans, including Medi-Cal, and its hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Kheir Clinic is located at 3671 W. 6th Street Suite A. For more information, call (213) 235-2800.
