Nari Sohn, M.D.

I enter each exam room with humility and impartiality and ready to listen. I strive to provide comprehensive and equitable care to all regardless of their backgrounds. I empower my patients to be their own advocates and encourage them to always ask questions and make shared decisions.

My family immigrated to the United States when I was a kid from Korea. I saw my parents struggle while navigating through the complex U.S. health care system and decided I wanted to be a doctor to help my family and others like them. I chose family medicine because I enjoy caring for the whole family—from newborn to pregnant people to older adults. I love my job, and I am constantly reminded what a privilege it is that my patients trust me to care for their health or share with me their life stories.

When I am not in the clinic or hospital, I enjoy traveling, cooking, biking and hiking.
