Hello yesmam,
Although I have not been treated by Dr. Wu, he certainly has some very
fine credentials.
I first searched under "UMDNJ in Newark, NJ" and found the following
showing that there is a Dr. Wen-hsien Wu at their facility:

I then searched under "Wen-hsien Wu" and found the following:

Wenhsien Wu, M.D., M.S., DABA, FACA, DABPM
Professor, Anesthesiology, NJ Medical School
Adjunct Professor, School of Pharmacy, Rutgers University
Director, Pain Management Center
Dr. Wu is a pioneer in pain medicine. He was born in China in 1933. He
received his medical education at the National Taiwan University
(1958) and the Graduate School of Medicine, Creighton University,
Omaha, Nebraska (1961). He then completed his residency in
Anesthesiology (1967) and Post-doctoral fellowship training in
research (1966-1968) at University of Pennsylvania.
In 1968 he joined the faculty of Temple University Medical School and
established the essential role of anesthesiologist in intensive care
medicine at Episcopal Hospital, Philadelphia. In 1971 he was recruited
to the West Virginia University Medical Center to establish the
Critical Care Program, the first interdisciplinary unit in that state.
Many papers were published to improve the standard of care for
critically ill patient management, including pain control, airway &
hemodynamic monitoring, and communication methods with intubated
patients. In 1974 he moved east to join the faculty of NYU Medical
Center. In 1975 he became the Chief of Anesthesia Service, Veterans
Administration Hospital, New York City. Neuroendocrine changes during
cardiac surgery in the critically ill and seasonal variation were
studied and published. Between 1979 and 1996 he was the Chairman of
Anesthesiology, New Jersey Medical School, Newark, NJ. Major
improvements in education, residencies, critical care medicine,
intraoperative monitoring, anesthesia associated morbidity and pain
control were accomplished. He has been devoting all of his time to the
Pain Management Center (Education, Services and Research) since 1996.
In 1981 an interdisciplinary pain center was established. In 1985 the
Acute Pain Service in the University Hospital was initiated. In 1985,
the Pain Fellowship program was established. In 1987 he published
"Introduction to Pain Management". In 1989 he introduced the field of
pain management (PM) to Taiwan. Now there is a PMC in every medical
school in Taiwan. He is recognized as an internationally known expert
in Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy. He has been the scientific advisor to
the National Narcotic Bureau, Department of Health, Executive Yuan,
Republic of China, since 1996.
In 1997 the Interstitial Cystitis Center at the Pain Management Center
was established. This will offer sufferers of IC great opportunities
to receive pain control and improvement in functioning. In the past
two decades he has been promoting proper use of analgesics according
to receptors involved in pain syndromes.
Dr. Wu has published more than 60 articles, 1 book, 34 book chapters
and monographs and more than 60 abstracts in various national and
international scientific meetings.
Dr. Wu is a committed clinician, educator and researcher in the field
of pain medicine. He appears on TV frequently and has donated much
time and effort in public education.
From this description of Dr. Wu's education and achievements I would
say that he practices both Eastern and Western medicine.
Good luck with your treatment, Redhoss |
