Physician Assistant: Adult Primary Care in Los Angeles
Physician Assistant: Adult Primary Care in Los Angeles (Korean-Speaking, New Graduates Welcome)
Solid Primary Care is a physician-owned internal medicine practice at 3511 W Olympic Blvd, Suite 202, in Central Los Angeles. We're hiring a full-time Physician Assistant to provide adult primary care alongside Dr. Woojin Joo, with a focus on metabolic health, diabetes, and prevention. Korean language ability is required for this role, because you'll care for many Korean-speaking patients.
Who we are
Solid Primary Care (주우진 내과) is an independent adult primary care practice in Los Angeles, founded by Woojin Joo, MD, an internist who trained in internal medicine at Cedars-Sinai. We accept insurance, offer transparent cash pricing, and run a California virtual metabolic-care program (Solid DIRECT). There's no hospital system or corporate layer: you work directly with the founding physician.
““I believe excellent patient care starts with sound clinical judgment, and I’m committed to helping our PA build it through hands-on training, ongoing education, and thoughtful case discussion. My goal is to support each clinician in thinking critically and growing steadily toward independence, so they can give our patients the careful, attentive care they deserve.””

What you'll do: new and follow-up adult visits, chronic disease management (diabetes, hypertension, lipids, metabolic syndrome), acute visits, preventive care, lab review, and patient messaging, in collaboration with Dr. Joo.
