    Dr. Chang is such a gift. Kind. Goodl Warm. Impressively knowledgeable and articulate. I have been with her 15 years and cannot think of a single negative experience. I have only seen her "tired" on one occasion - and even that she turned into a positive - as an opportunity to see her commitment to growth learning and thought in the field of medicine. That appointment was as thoughtful complete and kind as any of them. I have had to deal with many providers over the years (cancer Parkinson's nerve damage in myself or family). She is simply the best. I am so grateful for her care.

    I trust Dr Chang completely. She always listens to not only my medical needs but my personal needs also. I feel she is very much concerned about my total well-being. I am very grateful to have such an excellent doctor.

    Provider did not seem to know my medical history and said several things that were incorrect. Scribe makes a lot of errors in notes. That happens at every visit.
    Mar 12, 2023
    Dr. Chang always exceeds expectations: calm professional and warm at the same time. My friends are all envious that I am one of her patients.

    Nov 30, 2022
    Dr Chang since 2017 has failed to provide quality continuity of care. She has treated me as if I check off her list of things to do however once there is a obstacle she has not shown any initiative or care in the recent exams and tests which has shown a decline in health nor has provided any resources or plan on how to improve my health under her care.
    Nov 13, 2022

    Dr. Chang gives me clear and straightforward information and guidance. I consider her to be the best of the best. Her dedication to teaching her students staff and patients is clearly why she's a the top of her game. I'm always grateful for her service.
    Aug 12, 2022
    The doctor is not accepting new patients since a long time ago. She's too famous and booked. She won't take my client because she's a retiree and was educated. She gives way to the poor and uneducated patients who don't understand English. Very noble indeed.
    Aug 10, 2022
    Dr Chang LISTENED to all of my symptoms and concerns and together we made decisions for care.
    Aug 02, 2022
    Dr Chang has been the best doctor I've had in the past 30 years. She listens to me she respects me and she allows me to participate in my care. She refers me to the appropriate doctors and clinics for different clinical conditions. I feel much healthier working with Dr. Chang.

    Jul 15, 2022
    Very happy with Dr Chang attentive and not documenting while listening
    Jul 06, 2022
    I would NOT recommend this provider. She was not prepared to do an annual physical exam. She had not read my chart before seeing me. She appeared to not know what about as going on. Very disappointing experience. I will not see her again.
    Jun 12, 2022
    I have been under Dr Chang's care for over twenty years. She is a very experienced knowledgeable compassionate physician and so in tune with my thinking. I feel very fortunate to have her managing my care.
    Jun 08, 2022
    This was my first in person visit and the doctor became focussed on one blood test result which was high not normal for me. I felt she spent too much time on that rather than the visits purpose.
    Jun 03, 2022
    Would like more recommendation or information for treatment of pinch nerve
    May 31, 2022

    Apr 28, 2022
    Dr. Chang is always very thorough and detailed in her responses to my questions and concerns. She cares about her patients. (Even when they don't always take her advice about going easy on the wine! :) )
    Apr 14, 2022

    Good
    Jan 07, 2022
    Always very good experience
    Dec 29, 2021
    This provider provided showed little care and had no knowledge about my medical history. Why was I assigned to a physician who did not take the time to review my medical history prior to my appointment and obviously did not care?
    Dec 13, 2021
    She always wants to know if I had any questions or concerns.
    Dec 10, 2021
    Always an exceptionally good experience
