DR MICHAEL Y CHANG

My first time visit with Dr. Chang was comforting as the doctor and his nurse assistant explained everything thoroughly before the exam started. Both were friendly and professional and I highly recommend Dr. Chang's expertise and warm manner.

Very professional expertise. Great personality and quick to find the cause of pain.

I have found great relief and care from Dr. Chang, his PA Nina and his scheduler Rosella. Sometimes, it takes a bit of patience to navigate the GSO system, but these three are the Dream Team!

The Dr was very nice and had a lot of information for me. He was friendly and knowledgeable.

Nice pleasant experience at my appointment with Dr Chang. He quickly diagnosed my Carpal tunnel issue and gave me information regarding a surgical fix. He was very friendly and a great listener.

As an initial visit it was short but very pleasant. Doctor's recommendations were logical and detailed. Upon completion of recommended physical therapy I will recontact if problem persists.

Dr. Chang is a very professional person yet has a wonderful personality, he makes you feel comfortable from the moment you meet him. Dr. Chang explained the details of the procedure he was going to perform, listened to my concerns, and answered all my questions. My procedure was complicated by arthritis in my back, so he took the time to make sure he was able to get to the nerves where the injections would be effective. I would recommend Dr. Michael Chang to anyone needing an excellent spine and back doctor. Thanks Dr. Chang, you’re an amazing person!

Dr. Chang is both professional and personable. He did a thorough analysis of my carpal tunnel issue, providing understandable answers to my questions.

My appointment went well. Dr Chang was able to set me up with some text. Which I will start next week. Thank you

Doctor Chang is very personable, communicates very well, and conducted his exam very thoroughly. Great guy!

I received an epidural injection from Dr Chang today at their Premier Medical Center in Concord. Two weeks ago my pain level was a 7. Right now it is a 1. I am very pleased with my experience today. The doctor and medical staff could not have done a more professional job from IV insertion to minimizing my pain during injection. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I had to wait 2 weeks. That is probably more a problem with the procedures at Golden State Orthopedic and not the fault of the medical staff but very important to patients like me when I choose where I go for medical care.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Chang for many years. I don’t see him often because there is no need due to the treatment he prescribes. As some of you may know, a lower back injury requires continuous monitoring and treatment. Dr Chang and staff are on top of this. He’s an excellent physician worthy of your consideration.

I've had a very good experience with Golden State Orthopedics for the treatment of my left knee and currently for my sciatica and right leg balance problems. I think Dr Chang and Dr Tischenko are friendly, knowledgeable, and very competent. I highly recommend Golden State Orthopedics.

I love Dr. Chang! I was in a car accident that resulted in chronic neck pain. Dr. Chang has been treating me for a few years now and he's an awesome doctor. He listened to my symptoms scheduled an MRI and reviewed results with me. He then moved forward with a treatment plan. I have a permanent disability due to an OTJ back injury I suffered and I'm going to see if he will take over as primary on my work comp medical case since the current doctor I've seen for it has been worthless. He's thorough and you have to understand that he shines in the OR during epidurals and nerve ablation procedures. He's the best! One of the most personable and effective specialists I have ever seen. I can't speak highly enough about Dr. Chang. Also, my insurance company denied treatment and he fought for me and got my treatment approved.

I did not spend a long time with Dr. CHANG. He seemed expirenced & confident. I'm happy he has been part of the Dr.'s evaluating my condition.

I've been seeing Dr Chang since 2012 and he is a very good caring doctor and I refer him to everyone who has similar problems as myself because I have had nothing but good experience with Michael Chang

Terrific ortho surgeon Friendly and skillful surgeon Always smiling

Would highly recommend! Showed compassion to the situation and determination to solve the issue. Invested towards positive outcomes

I have been a patient of Dr Chang for 10 years. His expertise and caring are as good as it gets. Not only has he given me epidurals but he has advised me when he thought I should see a surgeon. That surgeon, Dr Hamas performed minimally invasive surgery on my lower back which has been extremely helpful. I still see Dr Chang for an epidural prior to extended travel. He is really the best!!

Professional, punctual, and easy to understand

Very professional easy to understand

Always a great experience with the doctors at Golden State orthopedics. They listen to you to find the root of the problem and find a solution to make you feel better.

Very personable, and was quick to refer me to have tests done before making a diagnosis.

(Translated by Google) Excellent doctor, he has been in charge of my father for several years and every time we are in his office it has been a pleasant experience from the treatment given by his staff to the treatment of the doctor himself. (Original) Excelente doctor, ha estado a cargo de mi papá por varios años y siempre que estamos en su oficina a sido una grata experiencia desde el trato que da su personal asta el trato del mismo doctor

Michael Chang has been a great doctor for me. I was injured several times, in a car wreck and when I was attacked and beaten. He is able to inject shots into areas of my body that were injured years ago. These shots really help to make the pain areas not feel so bad. I really like to have appointments with him. He is a nice person, too. If you have pain in your body, he will be able to help you, too.

Dr.Michael Chang, my new Orthopedic Physician impressed me by professionalism, expertise, and dedication to provide excellent care He took time to listen to my concerns, explained treatment options clearly, and answered questions I had, which helped me feel comfortable

I recently met Dr. Chang and loved him. He was extremely kind and sympathetic to my issues. Dr. Chang did not hesitate to find my problem/s and explained how we needed to proceed to alleviate my discomfort. I was seen promptly at every appointment and he had/has a welcoming, cheerful and warm attitude each time I’ve seen him. I feel safe and assured around him and highly Recommend him👍😍

I have always been treated with professional care by Dr. Chang and his staff.

Very good advice beneficial to me. He answered all my questions promptly and explained in a simple language

Nerve test: Very professional, prompt and throughly explained everything that was to be done and as he was doing it. I Highly recommend Dr Chang. I would recommend him to my family.

Dr. Chang is the best of the best! I've had several epidurals done by him. He's ALWAYS hit the nail on the head both in my neck and lower back. I've always had a positive experience with him, he's a genius. He is extremely precise in every procedure that I have had done. He's also very nice and personable. I can't say enough about him after 7 years experience of being his patient.

Dr. Michael C. Chang is truly a compassionate, thoughtful and highly skilled physician who has made a significant difference in my life. Dr. Chang performed epidural on my back which relieved the excruciating pain that I was experiencing for years. My quality of life has greatly improved and I cannot express just how grateful I am to be relieved of the never ending pain that I no longer feel.

Great Doctor, causes people to relax.

Good!

Dr. Chang is a very professional, intelligent and caring doctor. I feel lucky to have him treating my spine.

Very polite and attentive. Explained plan for me to get better.

If you have leg numbness ask for Dr.Chang, if you have lover back pain, or whatever... Ask his opinion...

Efficient, friendly and quick.

Dr. Chang is very knowledgeable and concerned when he evaluates you. He is pleasant, reviewed my MRI and explained everything I needed to know about my pinched nerves. I am still being treated by Dr. Chang and as long as I have this problem, or any other, will continue to do so.

Doctor Michael Chang is very attentive to his patients. He is very devoted to finding out your problem and fixing it. Easy to talk to and friendly.

Dr. Chang has a great bedside manner and handles all my issues with great perfection. Thank you so much for everything you do. Wonderful staff too.

They are very nice people there Also very helpful. With your solutions.

Excellent care. Very informative of what's going to be taking place and how it will affect you.

Works quickly and methodically. Very professional.

Great Dr that moves to fast to really hear your situation in a whole! So if your case is complicated get his attention from the beginning to hear you out before he just throw his diagnoses & plan at you! Ask all your questions cause he’s busy so he moves really fast. Cause if you have something else to ask about after you have left the office, nobody there really communicate w/ one another. Just short, short cliff note communication through the office that can be really frustrating.

I’m so happy to have Dr Chang as my Dr I have had severe lower back pain since I have been seeing Dr Chang and him treating me I have such a good outcome from the treatments I have to give Dr Chang a 10+ he is a keeper Thank you Dr Chang

Wonderful care he addressed my back problems and treatment right away.

DR. CHANG of GSO possesses HIGH Medical Expertise. He’s Friendly, LISTENED to me, answered all questions to my satisfaction, was courteous, empathetic and tried to help me overcome this this (Unimaginable Spinal PAIN). ESI, works for many, but; so far ESI, ALL pain medications including, Morphine IV @ John Muir Hospital ER, have NOT worked for me. Nonetheless, DR CHANG DID NOT give up on me, he took the time to refer me to an Orthopedic Surgeon. When I needed a last minute letter for Delta Airlines because I am in too much pain w/a partially paralyzed left leg DR CHANG took time out of his very busy schedule to write the letter. I don’t believe I would make it back alive if I took that long flight. MOST of the online articles DON’T ACCURATELY articulate this level of pain & the paralysis. I am lying down in pain typing this & dreading standing & trying to walk to my bathroom w/a cane. STANDING & WALKING HIGHLY ESCALATES the PAIN. I understand I’m writing too much about myself & that’s because I’m in SO MUCH PAIN, 6 weeks 24/7, BUT; enough about me. I’M THANKFUL TO GOD LEADING ME TO DR. CHANG FOR LEADING ME TO A SURGEON. DR CHANG NEVER ALLOW THE ILL’S OF SOCIETY CHANGE YOUR POSITIVE NATURE. I STILL BELIEVE THERE ARE MORE GOOD PEOPLE IN THE WORLD. I BELIEVE WHO WE ARE AS HUMAN BEING IS MOST IMPORTANT. THANK-YOU, DR CHANG Sincerely & Respectfully F Moore

Highly recommend dr Chang. Super knowledgeable as well as compassionate!

I have been seeing Dr. Michael Chang for 15 years and he has been a life saver with my pain management. I highly recommend him and his staff. My back and neck pain has been controlled and greatly reduced with his help.

Check my spine very detail and help me a lot to stop my waist pain

He is a great Doctor.

Excellent doctor, really cares about your condition, I really trust his recommendations, you're never left not knowing. What is next

Dr. Chang and his staff were very good. Dr. Chang is professional in what he did and the staff was polite, encouraging and helpful I would recommend him to anyone Pastor Ronald Carey

Dr Chang and his staff are amazing. Dr.Chang always has a great smile and a wonderful disposition. He makes the procedure easy to ho through. He explains what's going on as he dose the procedure. I would highly recommend his services. I have confidence in him and so would you.

Dr.Chang is a great and friendly Dr. He is very attentive to your needs.

These doctors are friendly they try to help you.

In my early 20s, sitting at a stop light, a large truck ran into the rear of my little car, totally smashing it up in the lane of cars in front of me. After having cervical and lumbar injuries, there is always pain in both places. Dr Chang has done a great job for me when he places the needle in these areas. If you have any pains like this, please call him for an appointment, so you will feel better after your appointment.

He’s good, ,really really good at what he does. Did I say that he’s really good? Also,He has a great personality

Dr. Chang is a wonderful Pain Mgt Dr. I hate to give his name out, as it's challenging enough to get in to see him. He's smart, committed, willing, warm, funny and any Dr. who will stay the course as you look for solutions and jump thru hoops to get things done is a gift in Healthcare today. We are living in a time of great change, with mergers and legislation, post-pandemic and most challenging, insurance companies making life very difficult for doctors who just want to help us. That's not the provider's fault. Any Dr. who can laugh with you, as they attempt to help you thru so many barriers, stay the course and keep looking for solutions, is a treasure and to me, Dr. Chang has made living with pain bearable. I'm grateful he's on my team!

Completely takes care of my back

Very impressed

Very thorough and informative.. Helps solve issues with the pain in my lower back.. very pleased with Dr. Chang

Dr. Chang performed a spinal epidural for me and it worked perfectly. The procedure was quick and virtually painless. It has been such a relief. I had considerable pain in my spine from disk degeneration and spinal stenosis and now it's gone. I can go about my daily life pain free. I highly recommend Dr. Chang and Golden State Ortho and Spine.

An excellent service and friendly visit and meeting . Dr Chang is a knowledable orthopedist.

I have severe scoliosis, Dr Chang knew exactly where to inject cortisone to relieve the pain. He is amazingly good. 👏

Dr Michael Chang’s services an expertise has always been apprrciated and respected. Having said that, I would recommend Michael to anyone who requires an Orthopedic evaluation.

Fast action on diagnosing

Dr. Chan is the best. I tried everything when my back started to hurt last year. I could not do physical therapy because it hurt too bad. Chiropractic did not help. Finally, I got in to see Dr. Chan & he thought I would benefit from an epidural injection. When I finally got the injection, I felt like he had performed a miracle. My life improved my practically overnight. After months of not being able to do very much at all, I could where I wanted without worrying that I would not be able to walk back. I still have to curtail some of my activities but I am so grateful. Now that I know how awful it is to have this sort of back pain, it horrifies me that people sometimes have to wait for years to get authorization for a procedure that will relieve them of pain. Thank you, Dr. Chan

Dr. Chang is a great doctor. Listens to you and cares a lot about your overall physical well-being. I've been seeing him for three years now. Can't picture going to anyone else. Office staff is on the ball. The only complaint I have is how long it takes to get an appointment. They're so busy that appointments are a ways out.

I would gladly refer Dr M Chang to family and friends. It's to bad he is not a primary doctor.

Dr. Chang had a group of colleagues to help with gathering information on my case. He seems extremely knowledgeable about low back pain and its ramifications. He is a good listener and gave me options how to manage my symptoms When I asked for more diagnostic evaluation, he was very responsive. I plan to see him again in follow up to help resolve my symptoms.

Dtor Chang is my spinal and knee doctor for about 3 years now . I am happy with his care !! I am recommended him .

I had a fine experience with Dr. Chang.

Dr. Chang had been my orthopaedic doctor for almost 2 years. He is very knowledgeable and attentive doctor who listens to the patient to find the best possible solution to the problem. He helps me maintain my back pain under control without any surgery which was my dream. He is always ready to refer his patients to other specialists for possible solutions. I was lucky to get him as my doctor. Thank you Dr. Michael Chang. Yelena

Dr Chang gives great personal care. Very detailed, caring and great bedside manner.

Dr. Chang is the best! I was rear ended in a freeway accident in 2019 and started having neck issues, headaches and ringing in my ears after. I had an MRI and that imaging doctor missed several items Dr. Chang noticed right away. He knew and pointed out the exact spot where my headaches start. He is absolutely a brilliant doctor and I’m blessed to have him as a treating medical specialist. I have the utmost confidence in Dr. Chang. He is so personable, professional and highly knowledgeable and his staff is amazing too. He’s the best!

I was diagnosed with painful lumbar disease and recommended for a 7 hour surgery with fusion. Instead, I chose to have Dr. Chang perform an epidural procedure. It worked so well that I have repeated this twice per year now for several years and I am currently pain free. I highly recommend Dr. Chang.

Dr. Chang has been my orthopedic surgeon for a few years now and I have been very pleased with his service. He is family to me and I would recommend him to any person interested in an orthopedic doctor. I think that he is great and has a great sense of humor that makes you feel comfortable with him.

Listens to my needs and makes this 90 year old back feel better every time I see him.

I recommend to go see Dr. Michael Y Chang.

Dr. Chang is a very caring and patient doctor who I have the utmost respect for. I am in the process of getting to chronic pain in my neck and shoulders which I have had for years

Dr. Chang is a great doctor. He explains what is going on and gives you alternatives to consider. He is very thorough.

I have been a patient of Dr Chang for a long time. Dr Chang has great knowledge about how to help your back pain. Also he has a positive attitude and kindness for all his patients.

I experienced total professionalism and kindness. Everything was done with kindness far above what I had expected. I loved the smiles on all their faces like they totally loved taking care of me.

Dr Chang is extremely friendly and competent. The staff members are always caring. A minor complain is that on occasions, the wait time is a big long.

DR CHANG is the best! Love his happy jolly personality, and his seriousness at the same time. Awesome bedside manner. He has helped me with my back pain. Tx succsessful, and pain free for the most part. Will continue tx with him.he cares about his patients.

Dr Chang has taken a helpful interest in my back aliment. He is a bit brief, but knowing I he has other patients I understand. Thus far he has suggested PT, but because I am not driving at this time I have yet to go. The Brentwood facility is more easier for me to get to, but they are presently full, and had no space for a new patient.

Dr. Chang was very patient with my many questions and both very personable and professional.

Dr. Chang is the best at keeping my pain under control. I have been seeing him for about ten years and would recommend him to all my friends.

Dr. Chang gets great results and has a great bedside manor. My back relief has been amazing!

I could not have asked for better care. I was particularly grateful for his warm smile and that he answered my questions patiently.

Dr. Chang is a very caring doctor and very good at what he does. I have had chronic neck pain since March and he always goes out of his way to get his patients on the schedule for needed procedures. The only reason I am not giving him 5 stars is that communication could be better with staff.

I saw Dr Chang for issues for my neck... he was very professional... while still having a sense of humor... he was also down to earth and not your typical I am a doctor/god complex! His nurse was a rock star too... she kept the appointment moving right along and was also very friendly! He is what I would hope all doctors strive to be... thank you Dr Chang!

I have had excellent care from Dr Chang. He understands my goals to get healthy and manage my pain. My results have surpassed my expectations.  When I needed to get some quick pain relief for my daughters hawaii wedding he made room for me.  Good guy!

Dr Chang did a wonderful job of treating my spinal compression fracture.  He was a good listener and answered all of my questions.  He was compassionate and patient with me.  He first recommended conservative treatment ( ice, pain meds and a brace) but after two weeks with so-so results he recommended a kyphoplasty.  He performed the procedure a few days later and the results were amazing!  My sharp pains disappeared completely and within a week the soreness from the procedure was also mostly gone.

I had a severe back and arm problem.  I was referred to Dr Chang by a friend.   He did a thorough examination with x rays and an MRI and correctly diagnosed the issue.  It has been 4 weeks and I feel like a kid at 62 years of age.  Outstanding doctor and he is very intelligent

Dr. Chang is with Muir Orthopedics, and was absolutely skilled, professional and has the patients as his first priority.  "Having pain" is one of those things that is not so easily treatable right away and it helps to have a skilled doctor figuring things out along with you.  I didn't expect to be miraculously better in one visit, and it was such a breathe of fresh air to have Dr. Chang give me options on how to tackle the problem.  He put me first and came up with a plan to address the issue.  It also helped that he was straightforward but caring and he was truly skilled.  I like that he didn't "sweet talk" but rather relied on his skills and knowledge.   I'd trust a skilled doctor over one who can "talk" anyday.
