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.

Run away don’t go to this doctor he is terrible refuse to hear that the dental dam he attempted to cover my whole mouth with made me claustrophobic and refused to do the root canal on my tooth. Then when I asked for my 200 dollar co pay back he refused to give it to me.

They Treat you like crap, are rude as all hell and make you feel like you are not a paying patient at all.Iam in alot of pain having had a root canal preformed and was suprised as he wouldnt prescribe me anything for the pain and no atibiotics. Today had been hell, I have had to lance a abcess. I dont want to suffer like this and be told I\m not in need of any releif or antibiotics! I have an HMO, I Think Iam going to bite the bullet and go with a ppo even though I cant afford it,, I hate this.

Dr. Chang did a root canal for me just a couple weeks ago. I can barely stand the pinch from the shot to numb the area where the procedure will be performed, but even that was negligent. He's been in this business for a very long time and it showed. I couldn't believe how minimal the pain was after the procedure. I didn't need to take anything at all for the pain. He's a pro, his office staff knows what they're doing. I recommend his office.

I scheduled an appt. with Dr. Chang and then called later to see if I could reschedule and they couldn't so I kept my initial appt., however they cancelled it. After calling me to the back, the receptionist blamed me for this. After a couple of minutes, Dr. Chang stormed into the room and was very upset and it seemed to be directed at me. It was a very hostile environment. He is unprofessional and I will go to the Endodontist in Arroyo Grande. For full story, read Yelp.
