Dr. Hao (Helen) Wang received her MD from China Medical University in 1990 and her PhD in pharmacology from Yamagata University, School of Medicine in Japan in 2000.
She studied and practiced Chinese Herbal Medicine and acupuncture in Liaoning Institute of Chinese Medicine, China for six years. In addition, she worked in the Institute for Life Support Technology, Yamagata, Japan, as a visiting scholar for two years, where she investigated the effects of Japanese Herbal Medicine on aging and age-related neurological disorders. She has been a staff scientist in UW hospital to conduct research in neuroscience, cardiovascular diseases, and aging-related disorders for over 10 years.
Dr. Wang has published many papers in top international medicine journals (see below). Her distinguished achievements in medical science have won her many awards, including a highly prestigious postdoctoral fellowship from the American Heart Association (world’s leading professional society for heart disease) in 2004 and a competitive Uehara Foundation Memorial Scholarship in Japan in 1998.
Through her over 30 years of experience in the medical profession, Dr. Wang has developed a highly integrative approach to medical treatment, capitalizing on her solid expertise in both Western Medicine and Chinese Medicine. In her acupuncture clinic, she combines multiple interventions to provide personalized natural healing service that is customized and tailored to the needs of every single individual.
