Dr. Robert L. Wang, 77, of Boonton Township, passed away on August 15, 2025. Funeral services were held privately under the care and direction of Shook-Farmer Funeral Home, Roseland, New Jersey. Condolences and memories may be shared at shookfarmer.com.

Born in China, Dr. Wang spent his early years in China, Korea, and Taiwan before coming to the United States in pursuit of higher education. A man of great perseverance and discipline, he first worked as a pharmacist before earning his medical degree at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York. He went on to complete his internship at St. Joseph's Mercy Hospital, affiliated with the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, his residency in internal medicine at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, and his fellowship in cardiology at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey at University Hospital in Newark.

Dr. Wang was a distinguished physician and lifelong scholar. Board-certified in nuclear cardiology, interventional cardiology, cardiovascular disease, and internal medicine, he held fellowships with the American College of Cardiology (FACC) and the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (FSCAI). He was a founder physician-scientist member of the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography and served as president of the American Chinese Medical Association. His professional affiliations included the American Medical Association, the Medical Society of New Jersey, and the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology. His practice was located in Mountain Lakes, New Jersey, and he was affiliated with Morristown Memorial Hospital and St. Clare's Hospital (Denville). A researcher, book author, and invited presenter, Dr. Wang was repeatedly honored as a New Jersey Top Doctor by New Jersey Monthly.

A man defined not only by his professional accomplishments but also by his deep compassion, Dr. Wang was wholly dedicated to his patients, working tirelessly in his practice until the time of his passing. His passion for cardiology was rooted in his profound belief in service, healing, and the value of every life entrusted to his care.

He had an entrepreneurial spirit that included building his own private practices, researching the stock market, and investing in real estate. He had a strong appreciation of nature, whether traveling to historic sites in the United States, China, or Taiwan, or tending to his own garden at home. He was passionate about sharing his learnings and helping others, whether they were family or friends.

Above all, his love and dedication was to his family. Whether it was family trips to Disney World, weekly meals, daily check-ins, or a funny text, his message to his loved ones was to pursue three things: 1) a lifetime of learning, 2) dream big, and 3) face challenges with an open mind-because the lessons you learn along the way are the strength you provide the younger generations.

Dr. Wang is survived by his beloved wife, Helen S. Wang; his devoted children, Tina Wang and her husband Raymond Colotti, Sandra Wang and her husband Tim Wengryn, and Jason Wang; and his cherished grandchildren, Madison Colotti, Tyler Wengryn, Benjamin Wengryn, and Zoey Wengryn.

Dr Wang provided attentive care to both of my parents in the past & I worked with him at St Clares in the mid 1990's. He was a wonderful man and an excellent physician. He will be missed.

Dr. Robert Wang's in-depth knowledge was shared by his willingness to commit to numerous speeches and webinars that benefited thousands, especially to the people who speak mainly Mandarin Chinese. Our Illinois State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) was a beneficiary of his webinars. On September 21, 2023, I hosted an online webinar of his "Heart Attack and Stroke-Risk Modification and Prevention". He showed extraordinary kindness and accommodation with thorough following-ups - all highly desirable traits of a top-notch medical doctor. His slides were loaded with decades of knowledge, simple and accurate. His presentation made the over 150 participants feel he was their private cardiologist. No wonder Dr. Robert Wang was selected at least ten times as a New Jersey Monthly Top Doctor. Losing him is like losing a family member. RIP Dr. Robert Wang and condolences to the family.

Dr. Wang treated my wife for 20 years, saving her life on 3 separate occasions. An incredible physician, and more importantly an incredible man. Compassionate, talented, dedicated, and tenacious.

I am still in shock over the passing of Dr. Wang. I remain saddened that I will never be able to say goodbye and to thank him for the exceptional care he provided to me. He was my cardiologist for the past 20 years and he treated me as if I was a member of his family. His skills and knowledge as a physician were unmatched. But it was his kindness and humility that set him apart from his peers. I can't imagine the grief his family and colleagues are experiencing and I pray that their memories of a wonderful man ease their pain. May God bless you in Heaven Dr. Wang.

My wife and I were shocked and saddened to hear of Dr Wang's passing. I consider myself very lucky that the day of my heart attack, Dr Wang was on duty at Morristown Memorial Hospital. I remember one of the nurses mentioning to me as they rolled me into the operating room that I was lucky because Dr Wang is the very best Heart Doctor.
Over the past several years I have been under his excellent care, and over the last couple years Dr Wang has taken care of my wife as well. We both loved him and have enjoyed talking about many topics including world events.
We will profoundly miss our friend Robert!!

My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Wang's for several years. He saved my husband's life. He, by far, has been the best doctor we have ever had. Kind, compassionate, caring, sincere, patient. I could run out of adjectives that describe him. I was stunned to learn of his passing. I pray that he rests in eternal peace. The world has lost a truly dedicated, tireless physician. May God comfort his family members and all those who loved him. He will be remember always and missed by so many.

My wife Cathy and I have been under Dr. Wang's care for over 30 years and feel tremendous loss and sorrow to learn of his passing. He diagnosed that I needed an aortic valve replacement, but not right away. He tracked my condition for several years making sure I was OK without the need for surgery. Dr Wang called me one night at home and said "It's time."
He knew that I, like most people facing heart surgery, was nervous, and while he didn't do the actual surgery he was with me and my wife every step of the way before and after.
We cannot express our appreciation adequately to Dr Wang for all that he has done for us. Thank you, we will miss you.

I was saddened and shocked to learn about Dr. Wang´s passing. My last visit with him was about four months ago. He seemed quite healthy, going about his business with his usual care.

I had been Dr. Wang´s patient for about seven years. In all my visits, I found him to be always caring, listening and patiently answering all my questions, even though he had a busy schedule. I was thankful that in each visit, he spent a lot of time reviewing my history on the computer to make sure nothing was missed.

His insistence on taking every patient´s blood pressure was another sign of his caring attention. Leaving his office I always felt that I was in good hands. Thank you, Dr. Wang.

A true test of a person is the legacy he leaves behind. Even though I knew him only as a doctor, I feel a personal loss that I have lost a wonderful, noble, friend.

Rest in peace, Dr. Wang. You lived a good, noble, honorable life!

With deep appreciation, Anil Talwar
