Ann Wang, Ph.D, LAC

Very good and experienced acupuncturist with great expertise!

Dr. Wang was the acupuncturist recommended for recovery when I wanted to walk better after shattering my ankle. Though formal at first, she is very concerned about my health, and got me off of a cane, something my surgeon did not expect.
When I started showing high blood pressure, Dr. Wang added needles and herbs to manage it, and I am NOT on high blood pressure medication. She trains me to take care of myself, and is always thoughtful about explaing what the issues are and how she is treating them.

I gave my acupuncturist in San Francisco 5 well-​deserved stars, but she cannot hold a candle to Dr. Wang. Dr. Wang was a teaching physician and medical administrator in China prior to opening her practice in Ithaca more than 20 years ago — first in a tiny suite at the Boardman House by DeWitt Park, then in the DeWitt Mall, and now at the Integrative Medicine Center.
When I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, Dr. Wang got my symptoms AND labs under control before I could even get an appointment with my endocrinologist. When I had debilitating sinus infection after sinus infection last fall (I’m still not used to the dry air in CA), I had acupuncture with Dr. Wang every day for a week over winter break and it completely broke through my pattern — I haven’t so much as gotten a sore throat since then and I’ve been breathing better than I have for a long time.
She sees patients for all sorts of conditions, but she’s really known for her fertility work. She’s constantly being invited to baby showers and birthdays. Which brings me to the main reason she’s such a great doctor — she absolutely loves what she does. She cannot bear to leave Ithaca for very long (even for trips to China) because she loves seeing her patients and really wants to make sure every patient is cared for.
Also, she’s helped write the national board exam for acupuncturist, given classes for continuing education credit for other acupuncturists, and has served on who knows how many boards relating to acupuncture and Chinese medicine. Dr. Wang probably one of the most knowledgeable herbalists in the US. She is vice president of Blue Light, Inc., another locally owned company down on State/​MLK street, where she consults with acupuncturists and herbalists all over the country to develop case-​specific formulas.
