Dr. Chang really was outstanding. I had no doubts at all about her skills and am so happy that I will have her doing the procedure!

08/25/2024

Great bedside manner

08/14/2024

The only comment would be that what Dr. Chang explained was very informative, I just needed her to slow down a bit so I could absorb it better. I was "drinking from a fire hose" so to speak. She is a super friendly, awesome person in my estimation.

They explained a lot while the procedure was going on, and at the time it was a lot to process in an awkward position, but I was glad to see all the information appear in the post visit notes. Luckily I had a heating blanket at home, but being advised to have that and acetominophen on hand for post procedure would be good info to have going into the procedure.

09/24/2021

Dr. Chang disregarded my feedback and persisted with her original hypothesis of 'drink water, eat fiber'.I informed Dr. Chang that I am on a high fiber vegetarian diet and have recent results showing 'off the charts' water intake. Dr. Chang was not receptive of my personal experience. This was a wasted appointment, and I feel embarrassed.
