Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

excellent surgeon with a big exception
I broke my heel which left me with severe nerve damage and along with needing knee replacement i could not go back to work. Dr. Chang did a very good job in attempting to fix me up however did not WANT to have the compassion to see my problems and told me 'you are just going to have to find something else to do' at the age of 62. I went to another leading pediatrist and am now on disability. It is too bad I had to find another doctor to help me through life.

Happy I found this Doctor
Dr. Chang performed surgery on my ankle. The pre-op visits went well since he answered all my questions. I am in process of post operation with no complications. I liked his personal phone calls, both pre and post operation. I feel he is providing excellent care.

I had fallen and had surgery on my right foot a couple years back. I called to makeAn appt and I was able To see Dr. Chang the next day. I wanted to make sure I didn’t fracture or broken any bones on my right or left foot. It was so good to hear that I just bruised my feet.

Terrific.
The office staff is just amazing, friendly and efficient. The wait time reasonable, and Dr. Chang, is someone that makes the appointment seem unrushed. He is very attentive and respectful with a wry sense of humor. He’s clearly experienced and competent. He makes good suggestions, though he doesn’t push his own opinion if you’re not ready for it.
