“I have my life back thanks to Dr. Chang. Before the surgery I could only walk 100 steps with severe pain. This kept me captive into my house. Now I feel so much better, I walk one mile every single day. The staff was there for me from the very beginning answering my questions and also during the recovery period. ”

“I had before three spinal surgeries between 2007 and 2009. I had a different surgeon for each correction and they all said that there were small chances I would walk or stand ever again. Well, they were wrong. Dr. Chang proved that they were all wrong, he made me stand and walk again. He is my hero!”

“Dr. Chang is a very skilled and highly educated surgeon. He handles his patients with respect and dignity. He was very professional when he told exactly how things were. I’ve been struggling for a very long period due to an injury to my back and thanks to Dr. Chang I was able to fuse my discs and make my spine perfect. I still have some pain because I waited too much to have it done but overall he was a miraculous job. ”

“There is no doubt that Dr. Chang is the most skilled spinal surgeon in the country dealing with the most complex spinal related problems. After having 8 back surgeries, a morphine pump implant and my spine at a 45-degree angle. Dr. Chang took care of this challenging and complex surgery with great skill. Thanks to Dr. Chang I’m finally standing straight and tall at 71 years of age, free from all of that pain. I highly recommend him. ”

“You will not regret seeing Dr. Chang, if you got any spinal issues. Take a look at Dr. Chang’s training and you will see that he is very qualified. I had a Laminectomy on L-3,4,5. My pain totally disappeared. Chang is definitely the right doctor for spinal issues.”
