About

Dr. Chang treats all diseases and disorders of the adult and pediatric spine with particular emphasis on adult and pediatric spinal deformity as well as disorders of the cervical spine. He is specialized in technically challenging procedures such as vertebral column resection and pedicle subtraction osteotomy, which are used in complex spinal reconstruction from failed back surgery, congenital spinal disorders, and spinal tumors. He is also proficient in growth sparing pediatric scoliosis techniques such as tethering.

Dr. Chang believes each patient is unique, with different circumstances and goals with regards to their illness. A multidisciplinary and flexible treatment plan of medication, physical therapy and manipulation, injections, and surgery is tailored to each individual to maximize recovery and outcomes.

Ratings and comments are obtained from verified patient survey data collected on behalf of HonorHealth by a third-party vendor, Press Ganey Associates, Inc. HonorHealth uses Press Ganey’s MD satisfaction surveys to assess patients' experiences with healthcare providers and staff in our Medical Group practices. In order to support full transparency, HonorHealth ensures that the full range of patient comments, both positive and negative, are published.

Star ratings are displayed only for those physicians who participate in HonorHealth’s patient experience survey program through Press Ganey and have received a minimum of 30 surveys responses.

Despite the drive toward full transparency, occasionally some comments cannot be published because they jeopardize the patient’s privacy, contain vulgar or offensive language, or contain libelous or defamatory content. In these rare instances, comment exclusion based on a strict set of exclusion criteria may be appropriate.
