It’s always a professional experience with Dr. Chang. Takes his time and gives a thorough and thoughtful assessment.
Front desk staff really rude as if you were bothering them by asking simple questions. Dr. Chang was nice but a bit nonchalant and not super invested in your actual health goals/needs
