In addition to being a world-class laser eye surgeon (described in the film “Sight”), who is a Harvard & MIT graduate (MD, magna cum laude), and is one of the few laser eye surgeons in the world today who holds a doctorate degree in laser physics and has performed over 55,000 procedures (including on over 4,000 doctors), Dr. Wang is also a doctor who is dedicated to helping find common ground in issues that face our nation.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to help people discover what they have in common with others in order to find solutions to the conflicts they face, which in turn enables them to be more successful and fulfilled in their individual lives and cultures. We also seek to network with organizations that have similar goals.
 Movie Sight

SIGHT, starring Oscar-nominated and Emmy-winning Greg Kinnear and Terry Chen (Almost Famous, Falling), is based on the true story of Dr. Ming Wang, a poor Chinese immigrant, who defies all odds to become a world-renowned eye surgeon in the United States. Set in 1970's rural China, a young Ming faces persecution and despair at every turn, but through the support of his dedicated family and his own unwavering determination, he finds his way to America, attends Harvard and MIT and helps develop an innovative technology that restores sight in millions. Taking on the seemingly impossible challenge of helping a blind orphan, the resilient Dr. Wang must reconcile with his own traumatic past and face the harsh reality that the strength of his own will can only go so far.

Common ground helps resolve gridlocks and find solution, so that the quality of our lives is improved.
