LIFESTYLE MEDICINE, PEDIATRIC ENDOCRINOLOGY
Y. Annie Wang
Dr. Y. Annie Wang is a dedicated Pediatric Endocrinologist who has called Central Arkansas home for over 15 years. With a deep passion for holistic patient care, she believes medicine extends beyond prescriptions—especially for chronic conditions influenced by lifestyle.
Recognizing that many patients continue to struggle with symptoms despite optimal medication management, Dr. Wang pursued board certification in Lifestyle Medicine (LM). By integrating LM with Pediatric Endocrinology, she offers families the option of intensive lifestyle interventions as a first-line approach to managing chronic diseases—an approach endorsed by the American Diabetes Association, the American Heart Association, and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
As an experienced Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Dr. Wang is committed to providing evidence-based, up-to-date, and patient-centered care. Her goal is to empower children and families with the knowledge and tools they need to achieve lasting health and well-being.
