 Biography

Dr. James Wang is one of a unique group of board certified podiatrists who have completed a four year residency that focused on surgical and traumatological conditions of the foot and ankle. Less than one percent of all podiatrists have this type of training. He specializes in deformities and injuries of the foot, ankle and lower leg. A graduate of Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine in Philadelphia, Dr. Wang went on to complete a four-year residency and fellowship program at the Presbyterian Medical Center of Philadelphia at the University of Pennsylvania with an emphasis on major traumatological and reconstructive surgery of the foot and ankle. This training included a one year rotation in general and vascular surgery and eight months of plastic and reconstructive surgery in addition to a fellowship in deformity and limb reconstruction. He is highly regarded for his pioneering surgical techniques in sports medicine using minimal incisions resulting in a quicker, less painful recovery which allows patients to walk immediately. Present technology forces patients to be immobilized and non-weight bearing for extended periods of time.
