Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He said my grandmother was a drug addict and only wanted pain meds, red flagged her at EVERY hospital here and told her husband he's only caring for her because she's a 'drug addict' which is not true and never will be true. Said she needs to be put away. Also says she's a drug addict but shows up at 12am for her shattered ankle and gave her more pain medicine. This man needs to be fired. If you don't do anything we WILL be making claims

A awesome Doctor
Doctor Wang helped me so much ! He diagnosed my back problem immediately on the first visit !! My right hip was 2 inches higher than my left from 23 years of inactivity . 5 Back surgeries had me in bad shape and as great as that diagnosed was he got me off those terrible Meds . Through his guidance in the last 2 years I am reaching my goal of a 100Lb. Weightloss !!! 10Lb. To go . I can not put into words what I owe this Great man !!! He is a careing Doctor but most of all a Doctor that listens to the patient , which is a reality in the health care field .You the patient have to be willing to put the work in ,but with his guidance it is possible I am proof of that God Bless this Man ! and thank God I found him !!!!!

Dr.Malpractice
I’ve never had a doctor treat me the way Gary wang did it all started by him giving a long lesson about endorphins witch was very hard to understand as he’d start going off topic and resume the confusing talk about endorphins I don’t know why he was so zoned in on that would not let it go and seemed annoyed if I had trouble understanding he then asked if I went to high school I told him I didn’t finish and he made a audible noise and exaggerated look of disappointment and had a similar response to hearing i smoked marijuana and would say multiple times how bad it was and then would say its good very confusing all while feeling like he was yelling rather than explaining this to me when I would ask why he was so focused on the 2 topics and not anything about my back pain and why he didn’t want to hear me out on other opinions from doctors he seemed offended and told me that’s why I am the way I am he would say I don’t need you to tell me where the pain is I know when he wasn’t even close

I want to dr malpractice in June. Since then I have had to walk with a cane I have total numbness down my leg. He took me off all my meds and switched them all and put me on methodone. Switched dr immediately and found relief. At least I can understand my new dr and she cares. I’m not looking for drugs just relief until my surgery. Second surgery for lower fusion didn’t work so have to get another and if dr malpractice would of listened to me he would of understood. I would not take my dying rat to this quack. He owes me two months of my life back. He owes my family money for having to care for me since I could not. His remedy was .... wait for this. Drink warm milk. IM LACTOCE INTOLERANT. If u go to him find a good malpractice lawyer. U will need it. How has he never been sued. Reading reviews I am not the only one in this position. DO NOT GO TO HIM.

Dr.Wang saved my 37 yr old nephews life when all other doctors advised he reached his baseline & left no hope! Dr. Wang never gave up. Today, my nephew is alive, recovering & expecting full recovery.

If you have 2-3 hrs. to wait (just) to see him, he's your man. If you're going for holistic Pain Management or drug rehab/detox, he's your man. Does not listen to you. Has his own agenda Dr. Wang is at Sisters Hospital Campus. I relocated to NY, had to find new P.Mgmt. doctor. Was treated as an addict. I'm glad I'm no longer on pain medication--but I'm still in a great deal of pain. AND (true story) told my husband he's a bad husband cause he doesn't massage me when I'm in pain (24/7).
