Dr. Chang is a highly accomplished neurosurgeon specializing in complex spine procedures. He focuses on each patient\u2019s condition to find the most appropriate treatment that will provide the greatest opportunity for his patients to recover quicker and return to a fulfilling life.<\/p>

Dr. Chang prides himself on less invasive techniques, including cervical and lumbar disc replacement, minimally invasive decompression, minimally invasive fusion, and new advancements in motion sparing single and multi-level artificial disc replacement procedures. When recommending surgery, he takes time to ensure that his patients understand how the surgery will improve their condition so that they are fully informed before they decide to move forward with surgery.<\/p>

Dr. David Chang received his M.D. and Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University before completing his residency in neurosurgery at Mount Sinai Hospital and his fellowship in neuro-oncology at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
