Stonebridge Adult Medicine review: malpractice 7

I was very sick, wrongly diagnosed and given inappropriate drugs. I had to go to another clinic because he would not return my calls when I said I was still sick, and when he finally did he wanted to order crazy testing. I then was properly treated at the other clinic and found out I had pneumonia. I was sick for 2 months and went through 3 rounds of antibiotics plus steroids to get rid of it thanks to his wrong diagnosis.

He also wants people to come in for follow-ups in 2-3 months when they have bacterial infections, which I have never heard of and think is just for profits sake.

I am a patient of Dr. Paul Hui Wang's and I personally have never experienced any negative issues with him. He is a very caring and compassionate physician and I have always enjoyed having him as my primary care physician. I know everyone is entitled to their opinion on this site but I think people need to hear the good and not just the bad about a person. I would definately recommend Dr. Wang to any of my friends and family...as a matter of fact my husband and a couple of my co-workers see Dr. Wang and they seem to love him too.

He is an internal Medicine doctor who diagnosed a patient with Bipolar incorrectly and cause the patient to be handcuffed by Frisco Police and taken to Green Oaks Psychiatric Hospital for four days where she almost lost her life due the poor care there. She was not Bipolar but suffered being given Haldol and Seroquel which was not the correct treatment plan. She really need no treatment plan at all from Green Oaks Psychiatric, she was not suicidal or a dangers to others. Dr. Paul Hui Wang let his ego over ride is brain and acted very unprofessionally.

Garenkore, if a doctor misdiagnoses just ONE patient and kills them, people should be aware. He is probably a NICE guy but he can be both nice and a bad doctor.
My experience...This guy is clueless. I went to him to help diagnose two unrelated problems. Instead of just telling me he had no clue what he was talking about, he started BSing me then prescribed 2 medications, one of which was $250. He did not tell me what the medications were or how to use them.
I spent 3 months applying a cream to the wrong area. On a followup visit, he then confided in me that he did not think the medication would work in the first place. Thanks to Dr Paul Wang, my disease got a 3 month head start I got to spend over $300 on useless ointments. I would not visit Dr Wang unless I had a simple cold and had no other Dr in the area to go to.

My partner and I have been seeing Dr. Wang every since and before he took over Dr. Hursey's practice. We were originally part of her practice and decided to stay on after we go to know Dr. Wang. We have multiple friends who also go and see him and have referred him. Over a year ago, I went to him because I was in really bad shape and thought I had a bronchial infection. It turned out, that I had walking pneumonia. Dr. Wang was very diligent with his exam with me and correctly diagnosed my problem. Thanks to him, I did not have to go to the hospital. I enjoy Dr. Wang because he cares and he knows that I will tell him everything I can about why I am there. Everyone I know, enjoys going to him and are comfortable with him.
Now as far as if one Dr. kills someone, I think that would mean intent. If a Dr. makes a mistake, which some do, that is what it is and I know that Dr. Wang would tell me right up front. He is not out there trying to kill anyone. He is trying to do his best and I, personally, think his best is good enough. I know that the ER Dr's at Presbyterian Hospital think the world of him and respect him. I also know a personal friend who was an ER Dr. and admits to making mistakes. I understand being mad frustrated and ticked off. That is everyone's choice, but I do agree that the positives have to be heard as well. Having many friends who are Dr.'s, I understand where they are coming from. Also, don't take this as an apology for being misdiagnosed; just remember that not one of us is perfect.

MomCat the reality is if you are arrested by the Frisco police obviously they felt you were either a threat to yourself or to others hence being transported to a psychiatric hospital. As far as the care you received there and the fact that you almost died there seems more like an error on the hospital's part instead of Dr.Wang's part. I see Dr.Wang myself and he has always been a very caring and patient doctor. I would recommend him to everyone. I feel bad that people feel the need to bash someone. Also to lulu808 I myself had pneumonia and was treated with steroids and antibiotics and it worked great for me. So obviously that treatment is not always a bad suggestion as it worked for me.

Years later, Momcat still stands by my reviews of Dr Paul Wang, I later found out I have a nutcracker esophagus and it mimics a heart attack and he misdiagnosised that, plus I had serious thyroid condition he refused to send me to a specialist and adrenal insufficiently which that same doctor found and that is a life treating illness. You die if not properly treated. He is NOT a good doctor. If you have a common cold that turned into pneumonia he fell down on the job! Don't be foolish. He has a mental chip that blocks clear thinking of sending you to a specialist who really knows their stuff because of his ego. It will cost you dearly someday, if it hasn't already. If you are female he blows you off, I am highly educated and was treated like a two year old. I have found other reviews that have nothing really in e to say about this man as a doctor. He may turn on the charm, but be aware it called NARCISSISM. And, I'd say he is one BIG TIME!
