    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Chang. I am new to Georgia and the Emory system and locating him as my vascular surgeon was a BIG blessing. He is kind, compassionate, caring and an amazing listener. After running 45 min behind on my initial visit (due to surgery), I really thought I'd be rushed through my appt time knowing he also had a full waiting room. However I was NOT as he took his time with me and listened very carefully to my health issues (as you see this was my first visit with him after arriving from CA). He truly was awesome and appreciate how he cares for his patients.

    Dr Chang is actually not my regular doctor. He is covering for Dr Clark, so he is extremely busy and always in a hurry with his extra patient load. This prevents him from having the time to talk to the patients. I will say he is exceptionally polite and kind, and from what little I have seen, he is knowledgeable but just so rushed.

    This was the first time I met with Dr. Chang since Dr. Clark is out on LOA. He was very upbeat, energetic, bright, and impressive. My only recommendation for Dr. Chang is for him to remember when patients have a test run at American Health Imaging, they get a copy of the results, which show the radiologist's impression. So instead of him breezing in and just saying "everything was normal" when they know it was not completely normal, is not in the patient's best interest. Take just a couple minutes to discuss what was seen and then explain why it is not of a concern.
