Family Medicine, Founding Partner

# Dr. John Wang, MD

Stanford-trained, board-certified in family medicine, 20+ years across primary care and complex chronic disease. Co-founded Linden in 2018 to bring back 60-minute visits and physician continuity.

About

## A clinician who runs his own patient list.

Dr. Wang spent twenty years inside large hospital networks before co-founding Linden in 2018. He saw appointment slots shrink from 30 minutes to 7 and decided primary care could not survive the squeeze without a different operating model. So he built one.

His clinical interests are cardiometabolic health, chronic disease management, and the kind of comprehensive annual exams that have largely disappeared from corporate medicine. He sees newborns through grandparents — when a family chooses him, they tend to stay for decades.

Patients describe him as direct, patient, and unusually willing to say “I don't know yet, let's find out together.”

Patient voices

## What patients say about Dr. Wang.

> “Dr. Wang spent 45 minutes on my first visit going through every medication I was on and why. Nobody at my old clinic had ever done that. By visit three he knew my kids' names.”

![Megan Holloway](https://www.nopethemes.com/hubfs/raw_assets/public/studionope-for-medical/images/templates/portrait-2.jpg)

Megan Holloway  Patient since 2022 · San Francisco, CA

> “He caught a thyroid issue three other doctors had dismissed. Read the labs himself, called me on a Saturday, and walked me through the plan. That's not normal — and it should be.”

![Priya Chandrasekaran](https://www.nopethemes.com/hubfs/raw_assets/public/studionope-for-medical/images/templates/portrait-3.jpg)

Priya Chandrasekaran  Patient since 2020 · Berkeley, CA

> “When my dad's diabetes started getting away from us, Dr. Wang built him a plan we could actually stick to. Three months in, his A1C is the lowest it's been in a decade — and he still gets to enjoy the food he loves.”
