  • Patient Testimonials

    “I have seen a couple of other doctors and health professionals for my injury. Dr. Wang was the first person to give me a thorough overview of what is happening with my hip. I appreciate the detail and time taken to review and explain my x-rays and MRI. After almost 2 years of pain and frustration I feel like I finally understand what is going on with my hip and I have renewed hope that I might eventually be able to resume the activities that I love.”

    “We are so grateful for Dr. Wang! His procedure allowed my {patient age removed}-year old son with AVN to avoid having a hip replacement. Although we were given a 50/50 chance of success, my son ended up at 100% in his healing and is doing great. The care given by Dr. Wang and UCI could not have been better quality and my athletic son can now go about his activities without pain and a worsening of his condition.”

    “Dr Wang and his associate (I APOLOGIZE for not remembering his name. The big tall guy. GREAT guy BTW!) were CLEARLY interested in providing me the necessary treatment options I was looking for. I asked that my athletic pursuits not be interrupted on a long-term prognosis basis and they came up with a solution that is just amazing. I am SO pleased!! Can't say enough how happy I am that they were clearly ready and willing to address MY concerns with excellent treatment options. THANK YOU!!”

    “Dr. Wang was very helpful. He was very informative. He knew what he was talking, and he even examined my knee. He was very nice, very cordial and he knew what he was talking about. As a matter fact, he's the one who's going to be doing my scope surgery or something like that. Yes, I would definitely recommend him. He's very good. I liked him a lot….”
