Wang Valerie M MD

I’m gonna miss her. Best OB ever

I have been going to Dr. Wang for 8 years and she delivered both my kids. The staff are great and very personable. Dr. wang is very thorough and informative. She always have time for my questions and she does necessary testing for both of my pregnancies. She suggested queens medical center for my second child which was a much nicer experience.

She’s been a great gyno the last 3 years but once I had a «surprise» pregnancy she walked into the room after my confirmation pee test and asked me, «Is this a good thing?» with a face that seemed to almost judge me. I mean, at the last appt i told her that we were going to wait until I was at least 30 and well i’m 2 yrs early. We’re newlyweds for gosh sakes and it happens. When she examined me and did an initial ultrasound to figure out the age of the fetus since I had no idea when conception might have occurred — she said, «That’s weird, it looks like you have liquid in your uterus.» Then she went over her concerns like tubal pregnancies and how I could have been pregnant and lost it but my body’s still acting as though it’s pregnant. She then told me to get a wk’s worth of blood work done to check my HCS levels and sent me on my way all scared that A) I wasn’t pregnant or B) something was wrong with my prenancy. I took a camera phone pic of the ultrasound went home and verified on the internet that that glob, which she referred to as liquid in my uterus, was actually my little 5 wk fetus.
So i followed up with my appts and she verified a month later that my little tadpole was a fetus and was NOT in my tubes and as it should be — in my uterus. But the poor husband, we was so excited, he asked if it was a boy and she snapped treating him like an idiot and rudely replied that it’s not possible to figure that out just yet.
The first trimester went on and I visited her just two more times where I found that they refer you to a sheet of paper for questions on the pregnancy and spotting and other worries you have as a first time mama and in the back it says, «NO BIRTH PLANS ALLOWED» or something or another like that. Basically, it’s not up to you how you’d like your birth to be, instead it’s really up to her.
So I ended up changing OB’s. It’s amazing — i loved her as my gyno but her OB care was not as warm and informative. I’m not sure if it’s cause she’s not a mom, but she was not very nice to me, my husband, or even to the thought of our unborn child once mamahood came to fruition. Otherwise, she’s got a highly efficient office and she’s got patients all the time but that’s what they are to her «patients».
