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.

He did a laminoplasty on my C-Spine, with this procedure I am able to move my head in all directions. I searched my procedure prior to seeing him; went to multiple surgeons and got many opinions. Dr. Chang was the only one to offer the laminoplasty option.

Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery
Having this surgery with Dr Chang was a very experience, avoided much more invasive procedures others recommended with excellent results - leg pain gone immediately. Clear explanation before and good follow up after on visits.

I saw Dr. Louis Chang for Stenosis of L-3, L-4, L-5. He was incredibly responsive, professional, and competent. I was impressed with how thoroughly he reviewed my history to recommend an approach targeting my problem, and he provided detailed responses to my questions. He spent way over an hour with me reviewing my MRI in detail so that I could fully understand exactly how the surgery was going to be performed. The Staff at John's Hopkins and Bethesda Memorial Hospital was also very helpful and easy to work with for scheduling and the care that I was provided post surgery! I recommend Dr. Chang very highly. My Hero wears a White Cape and I will be forever Grateful!!!

When i met Dr. Chang, i wasnt able to work or perform any tasks associated with being a man. The pain was crippling. His proffesionalism and attention to detail were second to none. Dr Chang and his surgical team gave me a new lease on life. If you listen to and take his post op advice, you will make a perfect recovery. Dr chang is at the top of his game. I wouldnt let anyone else cut me.

A year ago Dr Chang performed a micro-discectomy on my lower back (L5,S1) and I could not be happier with his professionalism. My surgery went very well and with no complications. Dr. Chang was very knowledgeable and explained everything. I was very comfortable talking with him and did not at all feel like just another patient. I'm was so pleased with Dr. Chang and his staff that I will be returning to him for a disc replacement in my neck (C6,C7).
