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.

"I am thrilled to be back under the care of Dr. Chang after moving out of state for a few years. My roommate, Tifini Ferrara, is also a patient of Dr. Chang's and shares the same sentiment. We both appreciate his expertise and exceptional skills that make him an outstanding doctor. I'm always impressed by how painless my procedures are, despite my initial fears. I've undergone several vein removals and treatments for my venous insufficiency, and each time I have been amazed by Dr. Chang's precision and efficiency. The entire office runs seamlessly, with a supportive and friendly staff that contributes to the overall positive atmosphere. Dr. Chang's commitment to his patients is unwavering, ensuring that each individual receives personalized and attentive care. Both Tifini and I have nothing but admiration and respect for Dr. Chang and his team. We would highly recommend his practice to anyone seeking top-notch care for their medical needs." Jessica Perkins

“The Best” Dr. Took great care of my mom!
We saw another surgeon prior to DrChang, we needed a 2nd opinion, as the end result would not have been good. Dr Chang had another alternative that saved her leg. What a relief and blessing! His office staff is the best very well established and caring office. Dr Chang also respected our beliefs! Thank you DrChang and Staff for saving my moms leg. I know we have a long road ahead of us. We’re very grateful and thank God to have you by our side.
