Sam Wang, MD FACC

One of the worst doctors I have ever encountered. Non communicative, terrible bedside manner, doesn’t follow through with results of tests. Would probably be O.K. in a lab but should not have patient contact.

I had written the below review on Dr. Wang in 2012 and given him FIVE stars. Then, I tried to call back and schedule a appt 2 years later. The receptionist was insensitive, inflexible and callous. She said I was no longer considered a patient and that I had to get a new referral to see Dr. Wang. When I protested that I had a PPO, she said it did not matter. Unfortunately, it is not just about the quality of the doctor; it’s about the quality of the ENTIRE experience. This receptionist should not be working with people – it was clear she has no humanity left and that she could care less about giving people care. Dr. Wang – you should get involved and get rid of anyone at your front desk who is not in this because they care about people.
Come on medical industry!!! Figure it out!!! If I am paying hundreds and thousands od dollars, I want great care. All the way from the receptionist to the doctor. I am going back to Stanford where the prerequisite for healthcare is that you actually CARE. What a concept.
PRIOR REVIEW – SADLY NO LONGER THE CASE. ONE BAD EGG CAN RUIN EVERYTHING
Dr Samuel Wang is so thorough, thoughtful and tells it like it is. I had been to two cardiologists before seeing Dr. Wang. I had been diagnosed with PVCs and was not getting adequate solutions, time or communication from either doctor. I felt like giving up.
Then someone recommended Dr. Wang. I arrived with my «stack» of medical records in hand expecting the usual «glance» and toss to the side. Instead, Dr. Wand spent literally over 30 – 45 minutes with me. He perused every test I had previously had, looking at very page. He asked and re-​asked questions to help him define a solution. He was extremely clear and for the very first time since getting my diagnosis, I felt safe with a doctor.
He actually scheduled a follow up, told me to call him when I was having symptoms and said he would rush me in, and… most surprising! I asked him for a recommendation for a Primary Care Doctor. He provided me with three names he sought out himself, looking for reviews and even called each one to make sure they were accepting new patients. All this in one appointment.
Now THAT is health CARE!!!
