Patient Testimonial

Doctor Chang is the best ENT speciailist I have ever had.

by P.L

He is very knowledgable, friendly and, most important of all, willing to listen. I had severe vertigo attacks. Other doctors just gave me motion sickness pills. Doctor Chang was able to significantly reduce the symptoms after one visit and fixed it after the second. I am grateful for his expertise.

Allergies are the immune system’s abnormal response to a foreign substance around you. These are items that don’t cause a reaction in all patients, but your immune system has found them to be harmful and reacted.

Your sinuses are hollow cavities that help found around the noses and eyes. Their walls are lined with mucus that helps filter and humidify our air. If this mucus does not drain properly, the sinuses can become blocked. This leads to problems such as sinus infections or other conditions.
