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.

My mother waited over a week
She suffered skin sores from the tape and was made to wait needlessly to have a ballon catheter removed. Delay of care and not making rounds is his MO. I’m not a fan. He is also unreachable.

My mom has been going to Dr Chang for 9 years. He’s been a godsend for her. He is highly competent, cares & listens to his patients, takes time with us to explain & answer any questions, referred us to good specialists when needed, and has been in my opinion the best doctor she ever had. I highly recommend Dr Chang.

As an elderly male, I highly recommend Dr. Chang after relying heavily on his professional skills for six years regarding more than a score of minor as well as very serious conditions. He is careful, fully informed, chooses outstanding specialists when referral is the best course of action, and takes time and demonstrates empathy for his patients.

Been seeing Dr. Chang for yrs. Right B4 a 3-day weekend, he refused to renew my blood pres. and anxiety meds until I came in to see him, except that he couldn't see me for 2 more weeks. He refused to even give me a 1 month renewal until my appt, so I had to abruptly stop taking both meds, which caused an emotional breakdown after I called his office several days in a row, and received absolutely NO help. You are NOT supposed to abruptly stop taking anxiety meds!Any good Dr knows that!
