"When my practice won the award in 2008, I felt encouraged to do even more," says Dr. Stewart Wang of Wang Plastic Surgery near Pasadena. "I believe that as a surgeon and as a local business owner, I should always be looking for new and better ways to serve my patients and my community."

Former patients were asked for input throughout the selection process, and Dr. Wang's patients spoke clearly. "I'm touched that the people I serve are so satisfied with their surgical experience and their results that they are willing to go the extra mile and give my practice high marks," says Dr. Wang. "Because I take the time to speak with them and understand their goals and concerns, my patients know that I truly care about them."

Dr. Wang has established an outstanding reputation for the facial rejuvenation procedures offered at his Facial Aesthetic Center for Excellence (F.A.C.E). There is also a growing number of patients who come to him for Pasadena breast enhancement and body contouring procedures including liposuction, breast reduction and breast augmentation. The beautiful results in face and body procedures that Dr. Wang consistently achieves are accomplished through building trust, showing compassion, and delivering on his surgical skill.

"Alhambra and the San Gabriel Valley are 'home' to me, so my patients are also my neighbors. I believe the community-centered approach at Wang Plastic Surgery is evident in the level of patient care that I provide and it's why my patients are willing to contribute to the award process," adds Dr. Wang.

There are many physicians and surgeons to choose from in Pasadena for a breast reduction, tummy tuck, face lift, or other cosmetic surgery procedures. The "Best of Alhambra" Award serves as a guide for local residents who are carefully considering their plastic surgery options.
