Shirley Wang, MD — Local services in Newport Beach

Where do I start? Dr. Shirley is what all doctor's should aspire to be. She pushes the boundaries of what she knows to constantly be learning and expanding her expertise. That alone makes her one of the best doctor's I've come across. In a day and age where doctor's get their degree, open a practice and wait to retire... She's a breath of fresh air. She does not over-prescribe or recommend prescription drugs that will require long term commitment and TONS of side effects but tries to address the problem at the root. The way medicine should be pursued; true wellness and not dependence on some drug that numbs one problem and brings up 20 more. I was just about fed up with the medical community until I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Shirley. I contacted he on a Saturday night via email fully expecting her to get back to me on Monday, she contacted me within the hour and asked me more detailed questions and trying to get a bigger picture. She has thoughtlessly put up with all of my questions and emails and been a pleasure to work with. I no longer feel like a number like with most doctors.. she follows up and is willing to try all of the things I'm interested in or at least tell me why it may not be the best idea!

Do yourself a favor... this is the doctor you need. She won't simply add years to your life... she'll also add life to your years.

Thank you for everything...

As someone who has seen a number of doctors over the year (due to new insurance, relocating, etc.) this is my first time getting care from a doctor who specializes in integrative/alternative medicine. Holistic care is different from normal physicians - these doctors take the time to find out the root causes of your symptoms. I fill out a questionnaire every time I see a new doctor but I think this is the only time a doctor has ever actually looked at it thoroughly prior to my appointment. Dr. Wang started communicating with me via email (within an hour of my initial contact!) and briefly expressed her thoughts on my condition.

Dr. Wang made sure to talk about every single one of my concerns, provided in-depth explanations as to what was causing my symptoms, and offered suggestions as to what I could do to better myself. It was extremely easy to talk to her and never once did I feel pressured.

A lot of patients stress about finding a doctor who will listen to every aspect of their issues and Dr. Wang will do just that. She's extremely knowledgeable, personable, and thorough with her work.

Dr. Wang doesn't accept my insurance but since I have to pay out-of-pocket anyway (due to a high deductible), I would say it is...

Wow! Where to even start with Dr. Wang? (And I mean that in the best way possible!) As someone who has been primarily exposed to traditional western paradigms in medicine for the entirety of their existence, I could not imagine a better person for expanding my horizons in healthcare than Dr. Wang. She is incredibly knowledgeable and considerate, taking the time to carefully and clearly explain the purpose and process behind everything she does in a simple and concise enough manner for anyone to understand. On top of all that, she's friendly, compassionate, funny, and unbelievably easy to connect with -- leaving me with the feeling that she truly cares and is personally invested in the well-being of her patients. If you're curious -- albeit skeptical (as I was) -- about unique, novel, and holistic medicine; there is no better place to start your journey than with LevelUp Health Care. Great doctor, awesome...
