Patient Reviews
May 16, 2022
I was blessed to find Dr. Chang. Not only does he listen, but he engages you in your own decision making process. After a horrible experience with another ortho at a different facility requiring additional surgical procedures and being misdiagnosed because of ego, I was left feeling constant pain and pretty much defeated and convinced my only option was additional surgeries. Dr. Chang not only hears you, he keeps you informed of everything along the way, including potential alternatives which could totally prevent additional surgeries. At present, I am going through one of these alternative treatments and it is extremely helpful and he does not believe I require any other surgical procedures. He has access to treatments my other ortho never even heard of, which is quite shocking to me! Be sure to explore all ortho's, and make your final decision to be with Dr. Chang :).
