Corpus Christi Dentist Reviews
Dr Chang and the staff were extremely professional and courteous. My dental hygienist Elizabeth was awesome! Most dental offices rush through the exam, but Dr Chang and Elizabeth did a comprehensive exam, cleaning, and education. I felt comfortable from start to finish. I would highly recommend you give this dental office a try.
I would highly recommend Dr. Chang and his staff because they are very professional and educational. I have been going to Dr. Chang for over a year now and he has helped me keep my dental hygiene in perfect condition.
Friendly and professional staff. Dr. Chang explains the x-rays to you and helps you to understand what steps can be taken. He also goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable during procedures. I highly recommend him. Thanks Dr. Chang's office!
MEET YOUR CORPUS CHRISTI FAMILY DENTIST
Dr. Chang was born and raised in Corpus Christi, Texas. He started at Windsor Park Elementary, attended Baker Middle School, and graduated from Mary Carroll High School in 2003.
From there, he went on to Texas A&M College Station, where he met his beautiful wife while studying for his bachelor’s degree in Biology. Dr. Chang is a 2011 graduate of Baylor College of Dentistry in Dallas, TX, where he was involved with many organizations and served in several different officer positions.
He was also named to the Baylor College of Dentistry Dean’s Honor List in 2011.
After finishing dental school, Dr. D excitedly returned to Corpus Christi to serve the community he grew up in.
Dr. Chang prides himself on treating patients with respect and care. He has made every effort to create a state-of-the-art dental practice, bringing energy and enthusiasm into your oral health care.
Dr. Chang puts a lot of value on patient education in oral health, disease prevention, and tooth decay. Dr. Chang is active in the local component of the American Dental Association, Academy of General Dentistry, and Corpus Christi Dental Study Club. In staying active with these societies, Dr. D has the opportunity to pursue continuing education and professional development.
In 2017, Dr. Chang was inducted as a Fellow in the Academy of General Dentistry, receiving the FAGD designation. Fewer than 10% of dentists hold this designation nationwide, which signifies recognition as a leader by colleagues and exemplifies the importance of quality continuing dental education.
Requirements to apply for this designation include 500 continuing education hours, passing a written test, and being a member for three consecutive years.
Dr. Chang is also active in community organizations. He is a Leadership Corpus Christi class of 42 graduate and 2012 recipient of the Corpus Christi 40 Under 40 award and served on the organization’s steering committee between 2015 and 2017. He is currently a Buc Days commissioner.
