Dr. James Wang, MD

I wish I had a regular bunionectomy without the fusion and the external fixator. The thick scar is nothing compared to the ongoing agony of my back and hips after that surgery. It changed everything. And just getting worse.

my moms a diabetic. I took her to wang to get her toenails trimmed. he trimmed to close and made her bleed a tiny bit. he wasn't even nice enough to say sorry. he made a joke about her.

In 2014 we sued this person for the permanent damage he did to my foot with an unnecessary and mangled surgery. This is the third time he has been sued for the same malpractice. At that time another lawsuit was pending for the exact same misuse of his training and professional oath. He lied to me about what my injury was - a simple fifth metatarsal fracture, lied about the procedure he intended to perform, had me fill out paperwork in which he claimed to be an MD and orthopedic surgeon - which he is not - and performed a surgery that involved drilling four, four inch screws into my foot and attaching an outside rail, for no medical reason. He is deeply invested in the company which manufactures the device he uses, and he uses it a lot. Using this device, he wrongly drilled a screw through a joint. I am left with permanent pain and loss of function in my foot. The device he used is called an 'external fixator' and has legitimate use for complex multiple fractures which are severely out… of alignment. My injury was simple, did not require intervention, and was removed by another doctor who was appalled at the device he saw for this simple fracture which should have been treated with a walking boot. Despite our best efforts, we did not prevail in this lawsuit. I remain appreciative of our judicial system and for the opportunity to face this person publicly, and in a court of law. I am hopeful that these multiple lawsuits being brought against Wang, and this steady humiliating public attention will eventually dampen the ease and sense of imperviousness with which he acts, and harms people who come to him in good faith. I am writing this to caution anyone who encounters this person to seek a different medical professional. He is confident, relaxed and lies easily and without hesitation in a court of law and in his practice. Please beware of this person until he is finally stopped.

Really regret walking through Dr Wang’s door. A year ago I trusted him to perform a bunionectomy on my right foot. He said it was a slam dunk and I’d be walking in under a week and he would “fix” my other foot in 6 months. I didn’t walk without crutches for over a month. My other (left) foot still has a painful bunion, but the pain in my left foot is nothing compared to the foot he operated on. Do your homework. I had a bad experience with Dr Wang. If you’re ok with a doc with multiple malpractice cases, then you might be a good fit.

he told me to do Epsom salts soaks for 2 weeks then surgery of the toenail. I feel like there were not enough tests taken or read (previous records) to indicate immediate surgery

After an unsuccessful bunion surgery years ago, I was nervous about surgical correction. Dr. Wang encouraged me to view my situation as "quality of life". Could I live with it or did I want something better for myself? I wanted a shot at being pain free, so I went for it, and my only regret is having waited so long. Thank you, Dr. Wang!

Six malpractice cases in under a year. I’m getting ready to serve him, too. He lies. He doesn’t listen. He’s arrogant and I made a terrible mistake in trusting him with my ankle surgery.
