Sejoong Kang, MD

I completed my undergraduate education at Georgia Tech, followed by post-baccalaureate studies at UGA and medical school at the Medical College of Georgia. I then completed my Family Medicine residency at Emory, with broad training in outpatient, inpatient, emergency, and preventive medicine.
During residency, I also moonlighted as a primary care physician at AG Family Medicine and worked in urgent care at Peachtree Immediate Care. These roles gave me substantial additional hands-on experience managing both chronic medical conditions and acute illnesses independently across outpatient and urgent care settings.
My clinical interests include preventive medicine, cardiovascular risk reduction, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, obesity and weight management, hair loss, and comprehensive chronic disease management. I especially enjoy identifying health risks early and helping patients prevent future complications.
My own experience recovering from a torn ACL had a major influence on me. Seeing how a physician could restore not only my health but also my independence inspired me to pursue medicine and provide that same guidance for my patients.
I enjoy both building long-term relationships with patients and solving complex medical problems. My engineering background influences how I approach medicine: identify the underlying problem, consider the options, and develop a practical solution tailored to the patient.
Small, consistent changes can have a major impact on long-term health. I also want patients to understand the reasoning behind their care and feel comfortable asking questions so that healthcare becomes a true partnership.
I enjoy working out, listening to music, exploring restaurants around Atlanta, and spending time with my family. I live in Gwinnett County with my wife, and we are expecting our first child.
My childhood nickname was “Optimus Prime,” and it has stuck with me over the years. Once you meet me in clinic or over a televisit, you may understand why.
