Corpus Christi Dentist Reviews
5.0
Based on 175 reviews
I’ve shadowed many dentists and worked along side a few as well, but Dr. Chang was by far the most helpful of them all! He even took time out of his busy schedule to break out his anatomy book for reference to my educational experience. His patience and kindness to his patients to make them feel comfortable shouldn’t go unnoticed. I highly recommend all of my Corpus Christi friends to seek their dental services with his office, especially if you’ve always been fearful. His entire staff will make you feel like family 🙏🏻🦷😊

I needed to see a dentist right away as my tooth had been hurting since a week during our vacation. Dr. Chang sqeezed me in his busy schedule because I needed the dental care right away. He took care of the immediate need and explained the long term treatment plan that I will follow. I am very happy with Dr. Chang and his staff.

I know that most people tend to overexaggerate about positive or negative reviews, especially about dental offices, but I can’t stress enough how much I love this office. I, personally, have been through the ringer for dental work in my life and I fell in love with this office so much that Dr. Chang might be the only place I’ll ever go to or recommend.

Dr. Chang and his staff are an awesome bunch! My whole family goes here, even though we have some difficult dental issues, We are always treated with dignity and respect. My elderly parents went here as well, and I watched the staff go out of their way to accommodate my father when he was visibly grumpy about not understanding the billing process, even lowering the bill a bit since he ended up paying out of pocket. Also, The Dental Trch Elizabeth gave my husband one of the most painless cleanings, which is hard to do for him as he has very sensitive gums.Quality service, highly recommend!

Dr. Chang, his dental hygienists, and office staff are all WONDERFUL. I was able to schedule a (very) last minute appointment due to a cancellation, and was unable to find childcare for my toddler on such late notice. They reassured me it would be fine for me to bring her and they’d help out! They were all so wonderful and the front office stepped in to help when me daughter got upset while they took my xrays. They did a wonderful, thorough job cleaning my teeth and I can’t wait to take my daughter back there for her first dental appointment one day soon! I would recommend this dental practice to anyone!

OMG. I called their number Sunday evening, Monday morning I had an antibiotic script waiting for me at the pharmacy.
My tooth needed to come out now, I could not eat or sleep. Dr Chang took me at 7:30 in morning on Tuesday which I asked for.
Dr. Chang has an excellent bedside manner; explains everything to you and is Very Caring through the whole procedure. He is the BEST. I will never go anywhere else, because when you get the best, there is no other place to go.
Everyone of his Staff I came into contact with is so friendly, pleasant and professional. I could not ask for better.
Dr. Chang’s practice, meaning everyone involved with it are the GREATEST and I love them all for taking such great care of me.

I got my first cavity at 35 years old, and I was dreaded getting it fixed. Palms sweating and shaking lol, the whole lot. I was super nervous! I had absolutely nothing to worry about though. They made sure I was absolutely comfortable, and the whole procedure was done before I knew it, yay! I highly recommend Dr Chang and his hygienist team. They are all very professional and kind. Not to mention, even at my normal cleaning appointments with them, I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes to be let back. The fact that the patients are scheduled smartly, is certainly appreciated. We're all so busy now days :). Thank y'all again

Great Dentist... explained everything he was going to do ahead of time..
I don’t remember the Assistants name as I was so nervous, but she is an awesome assistant..
I have absolutely no complaints and highly recommend him.
My son is a Dentist out of state... due to the Virus situation it was better to have my Dental needs taken care of here.
Dr Chang conferred with my son about my dental needs and they agreed on the procedure required.
I am confident enough with Dr Chang that I will continue going to him and not do all the traveling.
Might I mention I am 81 years old and my husband is 86 years old and both of us have most of our teeth.

Derek and his staff were incredibly helpful and explained everything so well. The biggest things that stuck with me was the level of cleanliness and steps they've have taken to protect you and themselves from everything that is currently going on. Other than that Derek was thorough with his exam even pointing out things I wasn't aware of and clearing up some of the misconceptions I had. In the end I appreciated how we spoke together to create a plan for this visit and the visit in the future. Definitely someone I would recommended if you are all about transparency and being very thorough.

Dr. Chang and his staff were great to myself and the entire family. Top notch service. I have not gone back to a dentist after the 1st visit in over 10yrs. They were all so bad, I just gave up and decided to go to Thailand dentist during our vacation every year. Low and behold, we finally found a dental office across the street from our home that doesnt overcharge, explains the procedures and billing clearly, and its just exceptional service from Dr. Chang. Highly recommend

I have had LOTS of dental work over the years and have seen LOTS of dentists. When I broke a tooth this year my father recommended Dr. Chang. At my first visit I was extremely impressed by everyone on his staff. Everyone was friendly, professional and caring. I really appreciated that Dr. Chang took time to explain the options and costs for fixing my tooth, and then let me decide which worked best for me. At other dentists in Corpus Christi, I often felt they were simply trying to sell me procedures that would make them the most money. I felt Dr. Chang was sincerely concerned about what was best for me. It took two visits to fix my tooth. First visit to prep the tooth and the second visit to place the permanent crown. Both visits were virtually pain-free. He will definitely be my dentist of choice from now on. I'm so glad I found him!

I have been a patient of Dr. Chang for close to ten years now and I am continually impressed by how caring and professional he and his staff are every time I see them. After a discussion about the health risks associated with snoring Dr. Chang helped me through the process of completing a sleep study and getting fitted for a mouth piece. I am so happy that I did it and my wife is even happier! No more snoring and now I wake up refreshed with more energy.
Thank you Dr. Chang!

Dr. Chang and staff are the best! My family and I have been going there for almost five years now. Not too long ago I had issues with my tongue and subsequently my jaw, and went to an urgent care clinic over the weekend and that doc had no idea how to treat it. He suggested I see my dentist or get a blood test to rule out cancer. Really? So I call on Monday and the wonderful staff squeezed me in. Dr. Chang took the time to do some research and find the problem - geographic tongue. But I had jaw problems because of it so Dr. Chang treated that as well. It was a process, but everyone in the office worked together to take care of me and follow up the next day to see how the treatment was working. I would not go anywhere else for my -or my family’s - oral health care needs.

I was in corpus on a business trip and suffered a freak accident when I slipped and fell on my face. I broke two front teeth. Thank God i found dr. Chang’s office. They were able to squeeze me in right away and he fixed my teeth! He was awesome and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. His staff is also amazing! I wish I lived closer so I could have him as my regular dentist. Such a great, caring, and knowledgeable dentist!! I’m so grateful I found him and trusted him to fix my teeth. He did an amazing job!!

My first visit to Corpus Christi Family Dentistry and very impressed with the excellent care I received. Dashia the treatment coordinator, understood my emergency and scheduled me to come in the same day I called, for evaluation and treatment of a chipped front dental porcelain crown that was cutting my tongue. Nannette the chariside dental assistant was very knowledgeable and professional as she helped me remain calm throughout my dental procedure. Dr Chang is an excellent dentist. He took his time, explained the treatment options, never made me feel rushed to make a decision and had my porcelain crown repaired within an hour. I plan to return in August for a full dental exam. I have already referred my friends and family. Thanks Dr Chang and staff.

Dr Chang and his staff were very welcoming, accommodating me with a early schedule when a cancellation opened up. The office was very clean and the staff professional and easy going. Dr Chang was very through and explained the process clearly during the office visit, I’m very happy to find a great dental office in Corpus Christi. I left smiling

Very friendly staff all around. I love that Dr. Chang includes TMJ and oral cancer screenings routinely. And that he is keeping up with the technical side of dental care (digital xrays, screens in exam rooms so you can follow what they are doing in your chart as they do it, etc.) He also discusses all options and is honest about what he thinks will be best, not what will cost you the most money as far as treatments. The facility is very clean. I have recommended this office to several friends and will continue to do so. I'm so happy we found them!

Every six months I visit Dr. Chang and his staff for my routine cleaning and dental checkup. Everyone is extremely nice and they're always on-time with the scheduled appointment. So I never have to wait too long and my visits are almost always painless!

I went to Dr Chang's today for a root canal. I felt absolutely no pain during or after the procedure. Dr Chang and his staff made me feel comfortable and relaxed during the entire procedure. Here it is hours after having my root canal, and I am eating normally with no pain or swelling. Dr Chang and his staff were very professional from the minute I walked in the door, to the time I left. Can't wait to get my wife scheduled for an appointment. I will highly recommend Dr Chang to all my family, friends, and co-workers.

I had to see Dr. Chang because I'm on an extended trip to visit my mother in South Texas. I had a nagging toothache and hoped he could fix it. Not only did...

All of the staff was very nice. The dental assistant, Nannette, explained everything she was going to do before proceeding. Dr Chang explained everything that needed to be done in simple terms and told me what he was going to do and what to expect before proceeding to the next step. Prices were very good since I don't have insurance at the moment. Highly recommend!

I have to say, I've always been a little terrified about visiting the dentist, but visiting Dr. Chang's Dental office has really put me at ease! At my first appointment today, I was blown away with the kind, knowledgeable, and overwhelmingly sincere staff! The dental assistant immediately made me feel comfortable and the dental work I had done by Dr. Chang not only looks great, but was done so skillfully that I am no longer having sensitivity when I bite. If I could have given Dr. Chang's Family Dentistry more stars, I definitely would have!!

The staff at Dr. Chang's office were exceptionally courteous yet professional. Dr. Chang took the time to sit with me and go over options that suited my needs. He didn't just rush in and select any procedure he thought I should have. He made recommendations but also understood my financial situation so he was able to help me come up with a temporary solution. When I went back for the final procedure I was a pleased with my results. Thank you Dr. Chang

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!
