Dr. Nancy Wang, a board certified Family Physician, now located in the Gateway Medical Urgent Care Center offices on Journal Parkway in King George, is offering a new presence in the area.
While the Urgent Care Center is in full swing, providing immediate care for local residents, Dr. Wang is adding a new dimension of medical services to the community: your own physician in full time practice. She joins the other practices provided by King George Family Medical Center, Ltd, which owns King George Family Medicine and King George Pediatrics as well as the Gateway Medical Urgent Care Center.
Wang is no stranger to medical practice in the region, having worked in a family practice in Fredericksburg for the last 10 years. Now she begins her work in the local area and feels at home in the more rural community of King George and the Northern Neck.

“I have an interest in the environment,” said Dr. Wang at an interview in her new offices this week. Dr. Wang will feel right at home in this area where so many people share the goal of being close to nature.
Not only is she Board Certified in Family Medicine, she is also Board Certified in Holistic Medicine. “I am interested in how the mind affects the body,” she said.
Wang says she tries to talk to her patients about stress reduction and what they can do to make life better for themselves. “I try to teach patients about the disease process and what they can do to make themselves better,” she said. “I am interested in what they are eating, how they exercise and how they are sleeping.”
We tend to forget that it’s the everyday activities that make us strong, she said. Wang said so many people get others to do the everyday necessary things for them, like cleaning house, shoveling snow, doing yard work and then have to go to the gym to exercise.
“I see people not getting any better. It’s hard to get them to eat right.”
Wang says so many people feel hopeless and want the doctor to give them a pill to “fix me now.” She wants to help people help themselves before they resort to the easy-to-take pill.
Wang is originally from Taiwan and came to this country when she was 10 years old. She was brought up in Queens, New York, went to Queens College and graduated from State University of New York Medical School. She met her husband when she was in practice in Connecticut and moved to Fredericksburg where he lived when they wed. When she is not practicing medicine, she is doing family things with her husband and 8-year-old daughter. She likes to read and paint and keeps her mind active with new ideas and activities all the time.
Wang is looking forward to the opportunity she has in King George to get to know her patients and the luxury of being able to take the time to work with them.
“Women tend to neglect themselves,” Wang said. “They spend all their time on their work and families and never get around to taking care of themselves.”
She now has time to make a difference here in peoples’ lives and she is looking forward to that. She can be reached at (540) 775-2904.
