Seon Hee (“Sunny”) Kim is a Doctor of Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine (DACM) and the founder of SUNNY Acupuncture & Herb. She is a nationally certified oriental medicine acupuncturist and herbalist through the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) and a Texas Medical Board licensed acupuncturist. Dr. Kim is also an Acupuncture Detox Specialist certified by the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA) and is trained in facial acupuncture.

Before transitioning into Oriental Medicine, Dr. Kim worked as a research investigator (Ph.D.) at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, where she studied cancer pain signaling pathways, developed cancer pain medications, and published several research papers. Although she enjoyed her role as a researcher, Dr. Kim wanted to do more to help people manage their pain and improve their quality of life.  In 2015, she began a new chapter by expanding her knowledge from Western to Oriental medicine by studying acupuncture and herbal medicine.  

Outside the clinic, Dr. Kim enjoys spending time with her husband and two children. She also participates in community outreach events by providing NADA protocol treatments.
