Our Story

Physician-Led Wellness Care, Built Around Safety and Personal Attention.

Founded by Dr. Daesoon Leem and co-founded by Dr. Jason Sun, VitaMD brings medically guided IV therapy, wellness injections, and NAD+ treatments to Koreatown with careful screening, thoughtful recommendations, and a patient-first clinic experience.

Meet Our Founder

Dr. Daesoon Leem, M.D.

"After more than a decade practicing medicine in Koreatown — 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 Koreatown to bring that standard of care to the heart of Los Angeles. Every protocol is developed by our licensed physician team following established medical guidelines. Every ingredient is pharmaceutical-grade, prepared by licensed compounding pharmacies. Every patient gets the same care I'd want for my own family.

I built VitaMD to bring that same standard to a wellness-focused setting — physician-designed protocols, pharmaceutical-grade ingredients, and unhurried, personal care from day one.
