After my first post-operative visit, I was in awe at what Dr. Wang accomplished under very tricky circumstances in my case.

He is an amazing surgeon & human being. So kind and caring. Explained everything. Had an opening on my cheek the size of a baseball. Can hardly tell where incision was or any sign of any stitches. It healed with minimal pain & rather fast concerning I am a double transplant patient on imunsupresent drugs. Wouldn't have wanted anyone else to do plastic part of surgery. So greatful for the wonderful concern & care from Dr Wang & his team.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
