Born in Seoul, Korea, in 1969, Dr. Erik Suh immigrated to the United States when he was 8 years old and started the journey of becoming a doctor. He attended Baylor University for his bachelor’s degree in biology and went on to the University of Texas School of Medicine for his MD degree. Dr. Suh chose to go into family medicine; he completed his residency at John Peter Smith Hospital Family Medicine Residency Program and became a board-certified family physician.
For the past 19 years, his practice has evolved into more integrated medicine with a special interest in men’s and women’s health, wellness, and anti-aging, along with cosmetic dermatology and aesthetic medicine. Dr. Suh admits the evolution of his practice has coincided with working through his own physical challenges of the aging process and finding himself becoming more interested in staying healthy and youthful in mind, body, and spirit.
In his spare time, Dr. Suh volunteers as an assistant professor for Pacific Northwest University College of Osteopathic Medicine and as a clinical instructor for the University of Washington School of Medicine. He is also a preceptor for Bastyr University Naturopathic Medicine Program.
Overall, Dr. Suh is thankful to be working in such a dynamic clinic surrounded by wonderful colleagues and employees, building a legacy of a patient-centered medical home. He wishes all of his patients to lead long, strong, and healthy lives.
