I have been his patient for 18 years. I had gastric bypass in 2004 and continue to see him for an annual check up. He and his staff have been nothing but professional and most helpful. Until just recently I was able to get all of the vitamins that those of us who have had this surgery need from his office. I still take my vitamins but must get them elsewhere. For those complaining about having to take the vitamins, believe me you need them. I would not be alive today if it were not for Dr Chang, and his staff.

Dr. Chang was nice and really seemed concerned about how I was doing and feeling. He took the time to explain what the next steps were in my recovery. He also asked if I had any questions.

I didn't know what to expect as this was my first time visiting a bariatric surgeon. I found the open question group session very useful and educating. Some things I had been told were healthy choices were not so healthy after all. Im looking forward to this new journey in my life.

From the first visit to Dr. Chang's office, I felt comfortable. The staff was all friendly, knowledgeable, and kind. Dr. Chang has a great personality that makes you feel relaxed and able to be honest and open with him. He has good bedside manner after surgery. He truly cares how you are feeling. I have not gone to my two week follow up visit. I have had an overall positive experience with Dr Chang and all his staff. I would recommend him to anyone.
