Dr. Pang received training and attended Medical school at University of California, Los Angeles. Her internship and residency was completed at Harbor - UCLA and attended a fellowship program at University of California, San Francisco.
She has a strong interest in taking care of patients with joint problems, in particular Osteoarthritis, which is the most common type of arthritis. She believes that although there are many interesting drugs that are being looked at, learning more about non-narcotic and non-invasive treatments is an essential part of medicine.
