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.

Stay Away
Advice; take a snapshot of your life before you started your therapy with this psychiatrist and take a snapshot of your life when your therapy with him ends; the answer will be you will be significantly worse off.

I have been a patient of Dr Chang for over 10 years when I lived in VA & still keep in touch with him since I moved. I know he is as close as the phone if I need him. He has helped me through very difficult times, treating my depression & teaching me ways to deal with the depression before it escalates. He not only worked with me but involved my family in my treatment. If you are having problems with depression or some other mental illness do not hesitate to contact him. He can help you.

Been seeing dr Chang for 1+ years and he helps to develop tools that you can use to manage anxiety and thought patterns that can negatively affect your sense of well-being. Dr. Chang is very relatable to speak with in sessions, I felt comfortable and trusting.
