I could not be happier with my experience with Dr. Chang. I had been frustrated with another provider that was not really listening to my concern and was simply rushing through my appt without a solid diagnosis or treatment plan. Show more When I met Dr. Chang I was grateful to have felt both heard and seen. He did not rush though the appt and allowed me to share my concerns. I walked away from the appt with a greater piece of mind and a solid plan for next steps. I highly recommend Dr. Chang.
Dr. Chang is awesome and very pleasant! He always greets me with a smile and so much energy. I can see and feel it despite having to wear a mask. I appreciate him continuing to deliver great care during these difficult times. He aShow morelways makes sure I have what I need before I leave his office. He and his staff have been nothing but amazing. Thank you all for what you do.

Very kind, have no feeling when I go to see him
I always receive the most professional care and attention from Dr. C & his terrific staff. 5 stars!!
Dr Chang surer kind, professional and explains everything to you. I feel blessed to have her as my Dr.
Dr. Chang is so polite and always reviews issues with me first. I travel from Missouri to see him when I'm not in California at my daughters. I had a terrible experience with a Missouri Dermatologist that removed part of my ear and left a large scar on my face. So thankful I found Dr. Chang and appreciate his care.
This is my second MOHS surgery by Dr. Chang. His experience and training are evident in the results. The surgery on my forehead is essentially invisible. He is professional, but friendly. I would recommend him to anyone needed dermatology related surgery; especially removal of cancers.
