About Wen Yang, MD, PhD, FACP

I have always been a firm believer in preventive medicine and personalized health care. A legendary Chinese physician, Bian Que, once said, “Great physicians are the ones treating illness before it occurs.” The MDVIP model allows me to put more effort on disease prevention and wellness care.

As a primary care physician, I treasure the close relationships developed with patients and want to spend more time with each patient to listen to their story, carefully review records, perform comprehensive exams, and formulate personalized treatment plans. I am experienced in the management of obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes and other chronic illness. I am especially interested in cardiovascular disease and cancer prevention.

My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. I have also done extensive medical research to have a deeper understanding on the mechanisms of diseases. I am committed to providing my patients with the latest medical knowledge and personal medical care. My practice is located Houston’s Memorial City area and I am fluent in English and Mandarin.

My present doctor is Dr. Wen Yang who I admire and in whom I truly have faith, but I have recently moved from Tucson to Houston, TX so I don’t know her as well as I knew my VIP doctor in Tucson who was my doctor for a few years and I would love to tell you about her. Her name is Dr. Rebecca Osborne. I was diagnosed with PMR and she sent me to a rheumatologist immediately. As what happens with…

After a decades long relationship with my friend and retiring GP Cyril Wolf, one had to wonder how my new connection with Dr. Wang would u fold. So far the experience has been excellent. Dr. Wang is very attentive to detail, to checking and rechecking g and has I believe appropriately challenged my use of medications to see how they might be dialed back and or eliminated.

Dr. Yang, is a caring, knowledgeable Doctor. She really listens to you and describes her prognosis so that she is sure you understand what she is telling you. I was not sure that after 40 plus years I would be able to find another Doctor that I had faith in like Dr. Wolf, but his replacement Dr. Yang has exceeded my expectations.
