Dr. Wang is a board-certified neurosurgeon with clinical and research interests in spine, trauma, and health services. She is fellowship trained in spine surgery, and she was a Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholar at the University of Washington from 2003 to 2005. She has studied outcomes after traumatic brain injury, utilization of repeat head CT after trauma, and risks associated with spine surgery. Her present research focuses on spine surgery for degenerative changes of the cervical spine, and she is currently studying risks and outcome associated with this surgery, as well as patient expectations for surgery. She is an active member of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons and the Congress of Neurological Surgeons.
