New York City, New York May 23, 2022 (Issuewire.com) - Dr. King is a caring and compassionate primary care physician who puts his patients first at his private practice - W. King Health Care Group - in Los Angeles, California. He is a progressive physician who has gathered a unique medical team that will provide evidence-based patient-centered primary and specialty HIV care within the community.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, he opened his private practice eleven years ago, only minutes from his childhood home in Baldwin Hills, where his parents still live. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Cellular/Molecular Biology from California State University at Northridge and obtained a dual degree in medicine and law from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He then went on to complete his residency in internal medicine at Harvard Medical School’s Cambridge Hospital, where he was Chief Resident, before returning to Los Angeles, where he completed two postdoctoral fellowships at UCLA. One was the Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Program, the other was an HIV research and clinical fellowship within the Department of Infectious Diseases. Dr. King is also a fellow within the American Academy of Legal Medicine.
In pursuit of clinical excellence, Dr. King has been certified and recertified by the American Board of Internal Medicine and has been certified as an HIV Specialist by the American Academy of HIV Medicine.

Professionally, Dr. King is an active member of the Charles R. Drew Medical Society; the Los Angeles County Medical Association, the American College of Physicians, and the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association.
Internal medicine is the medical specialty dealing with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of adult diseases such as hypertension and diabetes. Physicians specializing in internal medicine are called internists. They manage and prevent common and complex diseases by providing comprehensive care and promoting overall well-being. HIV is an autoimmune disorder that is highly preventable by prescribing pre-exposure prophylaxis medication or through treatment as prevention. HIV is still highly stigmatized and has a disparate impact on communities of color.
As a testament to his success, Dr. King has received several awards for leadership, volunteerism, and community support. His work and lectures have been recognized both nationally and internationally in South Africa, Uganda, and Ghana.
He is married and has two young daughters.
