Our Story
A Decade in Gangnam Medicine. A Clinic Built on What Patients Actually Need.
After 10+ years practicing medicine in Gangnam and seeing the gap between what patients needed and what clinics offered, Dr. Daesoon Leem founded VitaMD — a physician-led IV therapy clinic designed around real outcomes.
Meet Our Founder
Dr. Daesoon Leem, M.D.
"After more than a decade practicing medicine in Gangnam — from family care to sports medicine — I kept seeing the same pattern: patients who were doing everything 'right' but still felt depleted. Supplements weren't absorbing. Sleep wasn't restoring. They needed something more direct."
Working with professional athletes taught me the power of IV-delivered nutrients. Working with executives and parents taught me how universal the need is. IV therapy isn't about luxury — it's about giving your body exactly what it needs, in a form it can actually use.
I built VitaMD in Gangnam because this district holds Korea's highest medical standards. Every protocol is developed by our licensed physician team following established medical guidelines. Every ingredient is pharmaceutical-grade from licensed Korean compounding pharmacies. Every patient gets the same care I'd want for my own family. All our ingredients meet MFDS (Ministry of Food and Drug Safety) compliance standards.
Since opening in 2021, we've served 5,000+ clients — and what I'm most proud of is that many of our earliest patients are still coming in every week.
