As stated previously above, today's treatment was the first time in more than a year that I'm starting to feel confident that I can indeed get better under Dr Chang's care. My medical history and hospitalizations have proven very challenging to several other doctors. I wish I would have seen him and Dr Later sooner.

This was the first time to have Doctor David Chang, do a procedure for me. He was filling in for Doctor Jay Hurh. I have to say, he was outstanding!! I was a lillle worried, because I have been seeing Doctor Hurh for over 14 years. Doctor David Chang did an excellent job!! I'm really happy, because if one day Doctor Hurh retires, I can then see Doctor Chang!! I definitely going to continue recommending Dr, Hurh, and Doctor Chang to all friends! Thank you so much for all the employees you have, and doctors working there who give such excellent service!! I will never go anywhere else, and I let everyone know that!!

Disclosures

David S. Chang, DO reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2024.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
