Benjamin Kim, M.D.

Blood disorder specialist

Dr. Benjamin Kim is a hematologist who treats patients with non-malignant blood diseases such as hemophilia, von Willebrand's disease, platelet function disorders, deep vein thrombosis (DVT)/pulmonary embolism (PE), anemia and thrombocytopenia. His research interests include analyzing large patient datasets and assessing the cost-effectiveness of personalized therapies to improve outcomes, particularly for bleeding and clotting disorders. In addition, he aims to improve the transition from pediatric to adult care for adolescents and young adults with hemophilia.

A native of Chicago, Kim completed his undergraduate degree, medical school and residency training in internal medicine at Northwestern University. He then completed his fellowship training in hematology and oncology at UCLA, where he was the chief fellow, and doctoral studies in policy analysis at the Pardee RAND Graduate School. His professional activities include serving as an executive board member of the Hemostasis & Thrombosis Research Society, a fellow of the Haemophilia Academy and an adjunct researcher at the RAND Corporation. He is board-certified in hematology and medical oncology.
