Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Amazing Doctor!
I first met Dr. Chang about 8 years ago when I thought I was developing Macular Degeneration. She diagnosed a hole in the lining of my retina and referred me to a surgeon at Mass Eye and Ear. She has been following me since then and I am grateful for her expertise and care. She never rushes me and always explains things in detail. She shares test results with me, and I never felt rushed or dismissed. Wonderful doctor.

Highly recommend Dr. Chang for cataract surgery
The care I received from Dr. Chang and her team associated with cataract surgery was exceptional. Dr. Chang was very professional, knowledgeable and empathic with all of the testing, discussions about the various options for intraocular lens, surgical risks, resulting vision questions and so much more. I received very prompt answers to any questions I had between appointments through Patient Gateway or telephone calls. It is important to have the very best care as cataract surgery is a very formidable undertaking for many people. I did receive the best of care!

Dr. Chang has given me adequate time to explain, in detail, all my potential issues. While my eyes appear to be in good health, she noted several things I should be aware of based on her retinal observations and age appropriate advice. Since I am an optical engineer, She also took the extra time to explain, in greater detail than average, my diagnosis

Always a great experience when I see Dr. Chang for my appointments. Dr. Chang reviews the results from my previous visit , conducts her eye examination, reviews my recent testing results and gives me an updated status of my eyes. Dr. Chang asks if I have any questions or concerns and always takes her time to answer and explain. Before leaving, Dr. Chang will inform me what the game plan will be for my next visit. Dr. Chang truly cares about all her patients. Would highly recommend Dr. Chang to anyone who is looking for excellent eye care!

Dr. Chang is the best! I saw 2 other eye doctors and still did not know what was wrong with me. Dr. Chang listened to me and figured out what was causing my blurry vision and prescribed medicines that finally helped! She is easy to talk to and explained everything in a way I could understand.

Do not waste your time with this doctor. She is very impersonal and clearly does not care about her patients (her techs did a better job than she did). She was unwillingly to figure out what was wrong with my eyes and simply kept saying sometimes there are no answers. Even though I urged her for more test, she performed BS tests that I get during routine checkups. (Turns out she overlooked a major medication that affects the eyes).To top it off, you will get a $400 bill in the mail.
