about us

Dr. Kim is the founder and head veterinarian of Ridgefield Park Animal Hospital. After receiving his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Seoul National University in South Korea, Dr. Kim currently maintains an extensive postbaccalaureate profile dedicated to animal welfare, including courses in Small Animal Medicine at the Animal Medical Center in New York and the University of Pennsylvania. 

In addition to being a Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist (CVA), Dr. Kim recently received a master’s degree in Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM), integrating a broader range of holistic therapies into his practice. TCVM therapies include herbal medicine, food therapy, tui-na as well as different acupuncture techniques to help restore the pet’s Qi, or energy, resulting in a healthier, more pain-free lifestyle. 

Aside from primary care, Dr. Kim’s clinical interests include exotic animal care, emergency medicine, as well as orthopedic and soft tissue surgeries. His everyday practice includes a wide range of advanced technology, including computed tomography (CT), cardiac ultrasonography, and electrocardiogram interpretation. Dr. Kim combines Eastern and Western medicinal technologies to synergistically heal patients throughout almost thirty years of practice.

Dr. Chun is the associate veterinarian of Ridgefield Park Animal Hospital. Dr. Chun received her Veterinariae Medicinae Doctoris from the University of Pennsylvania, after attending University of Connecticut and completing a degree in Animal Science and Pathology. During her undergraduate experience, she wrote an honors thesis on the effects of maternal nutrition on fetal hearts in sheep.

For Dr. Chun, the most satisfying part of being a veterinarian is building everlasting relationships with clients and being able to provide treatment that allows a family’s pet to have the best quality of life. 

Her clinical interests include internal medicine, emergency, surgery, and dermatology. She is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association. 

In her free time, Dr. Chun enjoys snowboarding, trying new restaurants, exploring new cities, and lives with a 14 year old Shih Tzu named Mimi, a 16 year old cockatiel named Dusty, and has just welcomed her newest furry companions, a pair of adorable rabbits named Moose and Roux! .​
