Comments
“Dr. Chang has done work on my cervical spine to correct potential life altering conditions with very good results. Most recently he has fused c1 to t1 to restore feeling and mobility to my hands and arms. Next he will look at doing fusion on my lumbar spine to alleviate pain in my back and legs.”
