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.
