WE ARE SMG 

Founded in 1993, Seoul Medical Group (SMG) is a national network of independent community physicians who share a vision of improving the health and well-being of patients and their surrounding community.  

In 2025, SMG united with the Korean American Medical Group (KAMG), founded in 1989, bringing together decades of shared history and experience. 

Today, more than 5,500 primary care physicians and specialists are working together to provide comprehensive, patient-centered care—focused not only on treatment, but on long-term health management and disease prevention. 

SMG physicians serve patients across seven major regions nationwide, including Los Angeles, Orange County, and Santa Clara County in California, as well as New York, New Jersey, Georgia, Washington, and Hawaii.
