Doctor Chang often misses a proper diagnosis or referral, and did not take my child's medical problems seriously. You may have to see other pediatricians to find a solution.

It is thanks to Dr. Chang that our daughter was correctly diagnosed and referred for correct treatment after multiple ER doctors misdiagnosed her seizures as everything other than seizures. His bedside manner is fantastic and he engages meaningfully with both patients and parents.

Dr. Chang is wonderful. I was referred to him by co-workers whose children (now grown) saw him until they were too old to see a pediatrician. I in-turn refer him to my friends. He has taken great care of all my children (ages 0-5) and will continue to do so until they too are grown. His nurse/receptionist is not welcoming or friendly. If Dr. Chang wasn't so great I would have left to find a new doctor years ago.

I can always get in for a same day appt even at the height of the flu season. He is accurate and thorough. He takes his time and is happy to answer any questions, discuss behavior, etc. The kids love him.
