About Miqi "Mimi" Wang
My name is Miqi “Mimi” Wang, MD, and I am a clinical assistant professor with a focus in foot and ankle in the University of Florida Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine. I earned my medical degree from the University of South Florida with a scholarly concentration in biomedical research. Following medical school, I completed my residency in orthopaedic surgery at the University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington, Vermont, and my fellowship in foot and ankle at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.
I became interested in orthopaedic surgery because it allows me to use physics to improve the quality of life of my patients. In particular, the foot and ankle region is highly complex and disorders in this area are extremely debilitating. As a physician, I rely on physics every day to care for patients, advance our knowledge in orthopaedics through research, and educate trainees to help build a solid foundation for the next generation of surgeons.
My clinical interests are in deformity, degeneration, and injuries to the bones, joints, and soft tissue of the foot and ankle. This includes flatfoot, high arches, arthritis, bunions, and fractures. I also have specific training and interest in ankle replacements, revision ankle replacements, and foot and ankle reconstruction using 3D-printed implants.

June 15, 2026
I can't say enough good things about Dr. Wang. She truly has changed my life. I think when my neighbors little six-year-old boy saw me just one month after surgery, I heard him ask his mom, "mommy how did Molly heal so fast?" that was one of the most amazing things I've ever heard and I will never forget it. This little boy has watched me live and struggle and cry and not be able to walk for years now and he's only six years old, but noticed that I am walking pretty much like a regular person. I meant to tell Dr. Wang that story, how such a small little boy would notice something like that. See, the impact the surgery has had on my life so far, Dr. Wang? You have really turn my life around for the better. I know my surgery must've seemed simple to you, but please remember this was the fifth one I had on that same foot and I was really scared. It was not going to go well especially when you said you would remove that remaining anchor, but I had no options and had to take your word and I'm so glad I did! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

This is the 5th surgery I've had in my life but it was the best experience. Dr Wang listen to me and didn't insist on making me have general anesthesia which would make my Parkinson's worse. She also moved my surgery to the first one of the day since I suffered from anxiety I very much appreciate that I wish more doctors would listen to the patient's the way she did. I will highly recommend UF Health and Dr Wang. As a nurse I am very particular about who I see and recommend
