She was born in Vietnam and emigrated to the United States with her family early on as a teenager. She is fluent in Vietnamese. 

“I chose a career in medicine to help people live healthier and more rewarding lives. I enjoy working in primary care as it allows me to continuously support my patients through long-term relationships. I also have a specialty in women's health.” 

KimLien credits her family for encouraging her choice of career. “I am thankful for my brother and my cousins who are also health care workers, as we supported each other towards our goals.”

KimLien feels the most fulfilled when helping patients feel heard, understood and confident in managing their health. “I enjoy educating patients and working together to create care plans that fit their lifestyle,” she notes. “It is important that my patients know that I am here to listen and support them. I follow proven medical guidelines to help protect their health and encourage honest communication between providers and patients.”

Outside of medicine, KimLien says “I really enjoy cooking, particularly trying out cuisines in different cultures. It provides a creative outlet, lets me understand culinary tastes I have not experienced before, and is a nice way for me to relieve stress.” In addition, she enjoys traveling and seeing sites with her family. “This allows me to explore new places and gain a deeper appreciation for different cultures and ways of life.”
