About Peter Kang, MD
About Dr. Kang
It was while teaching on the Navajo Reservation that Peter Chulhi Kang, MD, decided on a career on medicine. “I remember being in the emergency department with a loved one after a suicide attempt. I felt helpless and wished that I could do something useful,” he says.
Dr. Kang completed a Bachelor of Sciences in Molecular Biology at UCLA, as well as a Master of Sciences in Physiology and Biophysics at Georgetown University. He graduated medical school at the University of Wisconsin, then began residency training in vascular surgery at the University of Washington before transitioning to residency training in General Surgery at Harbor-UCLA. Dr. Kang also holds a Master of Arts in Teaching from Western New Mexico University during his time as a middle school teacher.

“I like to think of myself as someone who can fix a broad range of problems.” Dr. Kang says. “General Surgeons are trained to take care of a broad range of diseases. I chose General Surgery because I wanted to be able to go anywhere in the world and treat a wide variety of diseases even in the most resource-limited places.”
His philosophy as a provider is to make the good health of his patients as his primary goal. Dr. Kang hopes his patients find him trustworthy through the ways he demonstrates competence, commitment, and integrity.
In his own words…
Who is or was the most influential people/role models in your life? My father. He wasn’t perfect but he loved us, and that was enough.
What was your first job growing up? What do you remember about it? I worked in a library shelving books when I was in middle school. It sounded boring at first, but it was actually fun, because I ended up reading a lot of interesting books after I finished my tasks.
What is your favorite food? Movie? Favorite food: Steak Favorite movie: Band of Brothers
What was your best/worst subjects in school growing up? Best was math, worst was literature
If you could sit down to dinner with anyone (alive or deceased) who would it be and why? My patron saint, St. Damian of Molokai, a Belgian priest who lived among quarantined lepers during the late 1800s and died among those he served after contracting leprosy himself. His life was a gritty but beautiful example of self-sacrifice. His example helps me reflect on the course of my own life.
In addition to medicine, what are you passionate about? What are your hobbies, interests? I am a practicing Catholic, and my faith is the most important thing to me. Besides that, I enjoy spending time with my wife and son. I enjoy reading classical literature, religion, and philosophy. I also enjoy camping, fishing, and being outdoors in general.
What is something most people don't know about you? I haven't owned a TV for over 20 years.
