About Dr. Chang
I am an ABOG Board Certified Obstetrics & Gynecology physician with sub-specialty fellowship training in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery who is passionate about providing quality and compassionate care to women with urologic and gynecologic issues. I attended medical school at Virginia Commonwealth University, completed residency at the University of Virginia, and completed fellowship training at the University of South Florida. As a native Northern Virginian, I am excited to be back in the DMV as a part of the Advantia team!
A few facts about me – I have 2 kids, ages 2 and 4, who keep me very busy outside of work. My wife is also a physician in family medicine. In my free time I enjoy snowboarding. My favorite fun fact is that I did competitive ballroom dancing in college!
