Eric Chang, MD – Restore Orthopedics and Spine Center

Dr. Chang is a fabulous doctor. Originally, he treated me at UCI and he left a lasting impression on me with his fun disposition, his knowledge of pain management techniques and his excellent treatment of my condition. I finished my treatment and went on with my life for a few years and recently needed to see a pain management doctor again. I went to UCI for my appointment and he wasn’t there anymore. So, I tracked him down. And, it couldn’t have been a better move for me. His new office is beautiful and aesthetically pleasing… almost calming. He is so friendly and encouraging and when I presented him with my thoughts he listened to what I had to say. He worked with me to make a treatment plan that I knew would be great for my condition. Dr. Chang is open to his patient’s concerns and worries and will go above and beyond to work through those issues. He is innovate and so very intelligent. He also gets my geeky jokes and sarcasm! I love that his office has brand new equipment including a state of the art, cutting edge wide MRI machine that doesn’t make you feel like you are being squished in a trash compactor. The office staff are efficient and quick on the insurance paperwork making things a whole lot less confusing. He even has a very cool interactive portal that gives you up-​to-​date information including office visit summaries all available via mobile device or email. I highly recommend Dr. Chang to those who are looking for a pain management physician. He is amazing and won’t just give you a steroid shot, put a band-​aid on it and send you home. He makes sure that you are given the right medication for your metabolizing profile, works to find the best interventions and offers many different approaches for a patient’s care. There aren’t a lot of doctors out there willing to take the time to help a patient in pain. Dr. Chang does. And, I will be forever grateful that he has helped me to feel so much better and achieve much more in my life!

Given my OCD, I prefer to go to clinics where its extremely clean and this place is definitely clean. I visited Restore due to dislocating my finger from basketball and Dr. Chang was extremely helpful. His staff was extremely friendly and Dr. Chang was also very patient, knowledgable but most of all he seemed to really care about my well-​bring. I also had to get an MRI done and they had it in the same center so that was convenient.
