The SootheRx Story

Over the years of treating chronic itch disorders, Dr. Kim came to empathize with patients that live with chronic itch disorders. He discovered that patients commonly waited six months or more to see a doctor, traveled great distances for treatment, and experienced long waiting times at offices only to receive treatments that were improperly explained to them or simply ineffective.

Through Dr. Kim’s experience, he realized that the key to improving the lives of patients with chronic itch disorders is to ensure that they receive timely medical care, proper diagnosis, education, and highly personalized treatment. Rooted in his desire to deliver exceptional care to patients not only in his clinic, but throughout the world, SootheRx was born.
