Michael J Wong, MD

About

Dr. Wong was born in Buffalo, New York to parents who emigrated from Taiwan for higher education and grew up predominately in Princeton, New Jersey. He graduated with a degree in Premedical Science from Lehigh University after which he attended Drexel University for his medical education. He went on to complete both a residency in Anesthesiology and fellowship in Pain Management at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital.

What first drew Dr. Wong to medicine was a desire to alleviate a patient’s pain and suffering. He enjoys managing the many facets of pain as an illness along with the dynamic and rapidly changing interventional techniques and procedures being employed to aid an incapacitated patient.

His philosophy in patient care is comprehensive and multimodal to meet the unique needs of each patient. Dr. Wong is expertly trained in a wide range of services including fluoroscopically guided spinal injections, peripheral nerve blocks, joint injections and spinal cord stimulation.

In addition to having multiple publications, he is a member of the following professional organizations:

• American Society of Anesthesiology
• American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians
• American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine
• North American Neuromodulation Society

In his spare time, Dr. Wong enjoys working out, playing billiards, tennis and cooking.

“The field of Pain Management challenges me intellectually and enables me to have a meaningful, direct and potentially life-changing impact on a patient.”
