Exceptional care!! Dr. Chang has great bedside manners, was so thorough, and really takes the time to connect with his patients. He's very thorough in testing and fully explains what he's going to do. read more

I don't want to write this review because I don't want people to know about him and then he gets super busy and then it would be harder to schedule appointments. However, he is really good so he deserves this review! As a registered nurse who has worked in hospitals as well as outpatient clinics, I can say that he has to be one of the best doctors I have spoken with. He has the best bedside manner and is extremely knowledgable! We just finished our first visit with him and he was so patient, kind, and very understanding of what a first time mom is going through. I was contemplating on going to him or one of the bigger OB/GYN groups in Irvine and am so glad I opted in to have Dr. Chang be our OB for my first pregnancy. His front desk answers their phones really quickly so you know you'll be able to schedule an appointment very easily (I had called another very large OB office and didn't get a callback until 2 days later)! He is definitely a hidden gem here! I highly recommend him! I encourage you to look for an OB like him- one that takes the time to get to know you and answers your questions. If you are like me, a first timer who has no clue about anything maternity/prenatal, he is a perfect doctor for you! I absolutely highly recommend him! read more

About ten days ago, my wife and I had our first baby. It was and still is a trying time as the world is dealing with COVID-19. Admittedly, we can not compare Dr. Chang to any other OB. Having said that, I cannot imagine that there are any obstetricians that are better than him. Could any be just as good? Possibly, but unlikely. Dr Chang treated my wife and I like we were his only patients. Yes, he even treated me like I was his patient. From the day we met him through the days after birth, he was attentive, patient, and compassionate. Our baby was born at 3:00 in the morning. When he walked in, he commanded the room. You could sense that all the nurses respected him and equally as important, genuinely liked him. It was easy to see that he knew exactly what he was doing and his mere presence put everyone at ease, including my wife. This man either truly loves his job or is the world's greatest actor. When we have our next baby, it will definitely be with Dr Chang. read more

Francis Chang, MD - Another satisfied customer. - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me

We live in very interesting times. I found Dr. Chang through yelp after reading very good reviews. They were spot on! My wife is Chinese and I do not speak Chinese so Dr. Chang fit the type of doctor we were looking for to address the two languages. Dr. Chang hands down is the best doctor we've worked with. Before deciding on him we did talk with others and they did not have the same "bed side manner" he has. From the beginning Dr. Chang made us feel very comfortable throughout the process. Even with COVID 19 he kept us informed of the process at the hospital during delivery. What made his so great to us? He is very patient and answers all your questions. Never felt rushed. He was always available whenever we had questions for him. During the day of delivery the staff and nurses all said Dr. Chang is the best. Thank you Dr. Chang. We couldn't be happier and if you are reading this, you are in good hands. read more

Francis Chang, MD - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me

Amazing Doctor!! The best Bedside manners, takes his time with you and listens. He explains everything going on with you and baby.

Dr. Francis Chang is the best. When I became pregnant, I turned to Yelp to find my Ob/Gyn and his outstanding reviews along with his kind smile led me to pick him. Best decision. He is the whole package - excellent bedside manner, top clinical knowledge and expertise, the ability to instill calmness in the room and make you feel at ease. He was there for every step of my pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum experience. I had to move out of state shortly after delivery and truly miss him. We hope to return to the OC area as we grow our family, and Dr. Chang is a huge reason for that. Love him!! read more

I absolutely adore Dr Chang. He delivered my son via C-Section 5 weeks ago. I was trying for a Vbac, and Dr. Chang was incredibly supportive after my first was C-Section due to breech and I felt very forced into a C-section the first time around . Dr. Chang did everything in his power to give me the birth experience I wanted all the way up to delivery. My baby would not fit through my pelvis and there was nothing we could do ( he had a big noggin ... there was even a small cone shaped print where his head was trying to push through and wouldn't fit) , but Dr. Chang does everything in his power to give you the birth of your dreams. He is extremely thorough with his explanations and doesn't make you jump through hoops and assistants to reach him. He makes himself accessible to his patients . You are able to directly ask him a question any time you are worried or need to know something . I would 100% have my next baby with Dr. Chang. He even cut out my old C-Section scar so I only had to have one scar. He's the best. 100% . I didn't get the exact birth I was hoping for, but if Dr Chang could have waved a magic wand and made it happen, I know he would have. Very caring , intelligent , professional, and kind doctor . read more

Francis Chang, MD - My beautiful, healthy boy ! Thank you Dr. Chang! - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me

Sorry but I have to update this review for the wait time alone. Staff doesn't space out wait times well. I came in at 11am and the entire place was literally bursting. (My appointment was at 11am). Now it's 12:06, I'm still waiting, but the room is completely empty. Why didn't they just have me come in at 12???? That's an extra hour of work I need to make up, or an hour of PTO I need to take. This has happened before, and I thought maybe it was a one-off so I was willing to let it slide, but now I'm really not so sure. The last time I came they said he was held up at the hospital, but today...he just has too many patients booked for the same time. Dr. Chang is wonderful and I have no complaints at all, but the actual time management of patients leaves much to be desired. If you have the time though, there's no reason to go anywhere else. He is amazing. That's most likely why he's so busy! I suspect the majority of his patients don't have jobs, but for the ones that do and need to actually work, this probably isn't the place for you. Or, you need to figure out the busy times and avoid coming in then. They mentioned afternoons are less busy, so there's that at least to consider. read more

Best doctor hands down that I have ever had. I liked my last obgyn but Dr. Chang is AMAZING. He accepted me as a late patient during my last trimester due to unusual circumstances. Their staff was gracious and squeezed me in for a last minute appointment, which they did not have to do. I called St. Jude and explained our situation and they could have cared less. They told me their earliest appointment was two weeks from the day I called. Dr. Chang's staff was super nice and they asked Dr. Chang whether or not he would be able to see me as soon as possible. They went above and beyond to try to accommodate to our unusual situation. During the first appointment, their staff was super professional. We got the ultrasound done right in their office since they had they machines and the staff to do it. Unlike my old ob office, I had to schedule far out and also go to another location. This was super convenient. When we met Dr. Chang, he was so kind and patient. He graciously answered all our questions. I was amazed by how much time he took to assure us and provide us with all his expert information. I think the added touch was that he was easily accessible to his patients. At 1 a.m., I started having contractions and by 3 a.m. I contacted Dr. Chang. Even at 3 a.m., he was super patient and pleasant. He told me to go into the hospital and even said, congratulations! lol. At 3 a.m,., I am usually really grumpy and my brain is never functioning. What an excellent doctor, He saw me the next day twice where he came to check up on me. By afternoon, he again drove by from his office to deliver our baby. I can't believe that he makes such a big effort to deliver most of his patients' babies. He is like a super hero where he is like 20 people doing 20 different things. We are so appreciative to Dr. Chang for all his kindness and hard work. He is such a pro. My recovery was awesome. He predicted that I would heal in about a week and that was about the time it took to heal! If we have any more babies, Dr. Chang will surely be our dr. again! Thanks Dr. Chang! read more

What the heck Dr Chang?!! You left all your patients in the lurch. No letter, no phone call... just left without any notification at all.

Something weird is going on. When you call the office number listed they say that he is no longer with the practice and they don't give a new number because they say he is no longer practicing at all. He is a young doctor nowhere near the age of retirement, why would he just up and abandon his patients? Very odd. read more

I don't know what star rating to give this because I'm torn between him no longer being at office in Irvine, and the office not giving me information to where he's practicing now, that's if he's still practicing; also, I'm very disappointed that the office in Irvine wouldn't let me schedule an appointment with one of their other OB/GYN doctor's-they informed me that unfortunately they weren't accepting new patients, even though I told the receptionist that I'm not a new patient because I've been going to there office for a 4yrs now and they have my file. It seemed like they didn't want to be responsible or take care of the patients Dr. Chang left behind. Anyway, Dr. Chang is by far the best OB/GYN. I always felt at ease with him, and our appointments where always given in great detail; he took care of me. My appointment never felt rushed, and he was extremely gentle when procedures where done. Overall, I'm mad at the office for not allowing me to book an appointment and telling me what happened to Dr. Chang. read more

Important Update: Dr. Chang retired due to personal health issues. I love him and still miss him, but if people are wondering why the practice closed, that's the reason. read more

Strange...Dr. Chang disappeared this exact same way from his DTLA location on flower st about 7 years ago. I had a miscarriage 7 yrs ago where development stopped at 10 weeks. I had to have a DNC procedure at 14 weeks when we found out there was no longer a heartbeat. 4 days after the procedure I ended up in urgent care. Shortly after my experience at [Avida Womens Clinic 810 S. Flower St. Suite 204], his entire office/practice closed and I later found out he was working in Irvine. I tried to call to get a followup appt in Irvine after explaining my situation, and they office/Dr. Chang never returned my calls (yes, tried to get appointments multiple times and it was like they were blocking me because I was a past patient) I went back into my yelp to remember the name of the doctor to give a conplete history to my new obgyn, I saw a few ofnthe current reviews saying the same thing has now happened in Irvine. SUSPECT. HIGHLY suspicious. THOUGHTS: 1) is he in witness protection and has to leave suddenly for his/His families safety or 2) is he avoiding some shady malpratice type actions?? Got me questioning my entire experience 7 yrs ago....like was their really no heartbeat...did I really need a DNC...did something go wrong during that procedure which landed me in urgent care shortly after and was a turning point in a landslide of menstural related complications and issues since then!?!? DF is going on here read more

Dr Chang is the best of the best. He has made my entire pregnancy experience effortless and smooth. He is extremely informative and never makes you feel rushed or stupid for asking a question, and over the top with his customer service. His entire office and staff are outstanding. I would 10/10 recommend him to any of my friends looking into having a baby. Best OBGYN of OC hands down is dr Chang. Thank you for delivering my sweet baby boy this year. Couldn't have done it without you doctor! read more

Dr. Chang was the best doctor I could have asked for. The doctor I had with my first child no longer took my insurance when I was pregnant with my second child, and I was so upset about it. But then when I met Dr. Chang for the first time, I couldn't have been any happier. He was so caring and always available to answer any questions or concerns. He is by far the best doctor I've ever had. read more

There is no better doctor than Dr. Chang. He is truly one in a million. I started seeing him earlier in the year when I became pregnant with my daughter. I always loved my visits with him because he always made it a point to spend a solid amount of time with me and always answered whatever questions I had. He always did a great job of thoroughly explaining everything and always encouraged me to ask whatever was on my mind. He was also always 100% on top of my care. During my pregnancy, I developed high blood pressure and he asked me to check in with him so he could monitor my levels and make sure I was ok. It's not often you can touch base with your doctor anytime, but I always could with Dr. Chang. Knowing he was so accessible because he cared so much, made me feel safe. When it came time to deliver, he was so encouraging and supportive. I had always pictured the doctor coming in at the last second, but he was there for the entire process, and he was truly a huge part of my comfort (in addition to my husband) during the process. In fact, several of our nurses commented about how Dr. Chang was one of the nicest OB's they knew. I've given a lot of thought to writing this review because I wanted to make sure I communicated to others all about what makes Dr. Chang the best. In addition to what I already outlined above, it's also worth noting that Dr. Chang offers the perfect balance of medical knowledge and patient care. Of course you want a doctor who is knowledgeable in their field, which he is, but it's also amazing to have someone who truly cares about their patients. He offers the perfect combination of the two and all of us who are his patients are lucky beyond words. read more

Really wanted to like this place but wait is ridiculous. My obgyn started out okay but eventually became more rushed with time. Yea, he will answer all your questions but it's exactly that, answering questions. I think what's happening here is a case of a great doc taking on too many patients. There's just no way to provide the utmost quality care to each and every patient when it's always rush rush. At some point, someone suffers the consequence of that, .... the patient. I hope the issues related to scheduling and patient overload gets straightened out eventually. read more

I love Dr. Chang and would recommend him to everyone, he is caring, patient and has the best bedside manners. However he's no longer seeing patients, he's now a hospital doctor at Hoag. I'm so sad because he is honestly the best Obgyn I've had. I'm considering how I can make a visit at Hoag just to be seen by him lol, that's how good he is! read more

The greatest doctor I ever met honestly for labor and delivery as well as knowledgeable, understanding and very patient with us during the entire process of my wife's pregnancy, he did the ultrasounds for our baby, he walked us through the whole process, answering our questions with kindness, and what to expect each month, I was very impressed, felt like I had known him for years, and was so happy when it came to him delivering our baby, he did a fantastic job and will highly recommend him to anyone, he is a complete awesome doctor, will go back to him for our second baby read more

At 8 weeks pregnant I went to another OB, I did not feel good about that experience and then discovered Dr Francis Chang. From the very beginning of my pregnancy journey at 10 weeks, Dr Chang was compassionate, knowledgeable, and a wonderful person to have as my OB as a first time mom to be. He is up to date with science based studies and deeply values the mother's wishes. This is my first year in California so having a trusted OB really meant the world to my husband and me. My delivery went really well, Dr Chang did everything he could to eliminate unnecessary post partum issues, which is invaluable. read more

this review is for the office and new Dr. She. I really like Dr. Francis Chang, he just suddenly disappeared but the office didn't say anything when I scheduled annual check up. they refuse to disclose where he is. but what's not acceptable that they trick you into seeing another doctor at their office. Since I took the time to get there I thought I would give the new doctor She a try. Horrible experience. Very rough and careless. Don't use this new Dr. She. Hope we can find Dr. Francis Chang again. read more

If you are looking for a truly caring and intelligent OB, this is the one! I can't thank Dr. Chang enough for his commitment to his patients and their health and the health of their baby. I had the absolute best experience and I am so happy and grateful I was able to change my OB to him when I was 20 weeks. I was very unhappy with how unprofessional my initial OB was and when I went to Dr. Chang it was night and day. Every appointment I had he was on time, I was not waiting hours to see him like with my other OB. Once he saw me, he always took the time to explain and answer my questions and didn't make me feel like a was being herded like cattle. Whenever I had a concern when I was not at the office and reached out to him he would call me right away and address my concerns immediately. This just showed how much he truly cares about his patients. I felt 100% confident having him deliver my baby and he did everything to stick to my birth plan and Was on time to my delivery and I felt like I was in great hands. Even postpartum when I was having issues with my health he was still there and guided me to the right doctors to treat me. Thank you Dr. Chang! I will definitely be seeing you for my next baby!! read more

See all

Dr.chang is the best! He is great!!! I know all the reviews are good sounds impossible but it is all true. :) He is knowledgeable, responsible and Kindness! His success not only because of his knowledgeable and education, I think the most part is because of his good heart! I just delivered a nine pounds and super big head boy with him. I can feel that he is doing his best to help me get the job because he knows I do not want C-section and he also think with my age give natural birth is better and his Surgical needle technique is very good !!! He spent a long time helping me to give birth. It's really hard to find such a good doctor now. He is really concerned about his patients. I will definitely find him to deliver my second and third baby! I am glad he is still young!!! : D read more

Dr Chang is the best doctor I've ever met and I've worked with several. He was always involved in my care during my entire pregnancy. He was so good in answering all my questions especially as a first time mom everything was so new to me. I had some complications in third trimester and he always went far and beyond to help me out. I am so thankful to have found such an amazing OB! I'm so sad he is not longer practicing :( and it had to happen during my postpartum period which makes it difficult when having questions. I' hope I can find another OB as great as Dr chang again! read more

Dr. Chang delivered my first baby two years ago, and he's the BEST. I found out in January that I'm pregnant with my second, and when I called his Irvine office, the receptionist told me he's now working "at the hospital." I didn't really know what that meant, but my new OB's office told me he's now a laborist at Hoag Newport. Just FYI for the other moms wondering where he went. I'm still going to deliver at Hoag Newport, so fingers crossed that he's the on call doctor when I show up! read more

When I found out I was pregnant after recently moving to the area I found Dr. Chang through yelp. I am SO glad I did. I went into the pregnancy knowing I was going to have a C section which I was very nervous about. Dr. Chang couldn't have been more amazing. He's professional, friendly, knowledgeable and very skilled. I was cleared after 4 weeks after a C section. He literally is that incredible. Two separate nurses at Hoag commented that he was the best doctor there. He truly is. I'm thankful for him everyday! read more

This review is long over due - DR CHANG IS THE BEST! Something I wanted to shout from the rooftops my entire pregnancy but also wanting to keep Dr Chang & staff all to myself. My husband and I went to Dr Chang from the moment I found out I was pregnant. I'd had a couple MCs and from day 1, Dr Chang was always accessible to me and my heightened concerns. Thankfully Baby Oliver was born at the end of April and even delivered during COVID, Dr Chang was very accommodating and compassionate. I think it's very rare for a Dr to have 5 stars on Yelp, so take that into consideration. He has amazing knowledge, the kindest bedside manner, is calm, relatable, fun, and always there for his patients. We were planning to be done after this pregnancy but honestly, I'd consider another if Dr Chang was my OB. We are forever grateful and will truly miss our interactions with Dr Chang! (Who even says that about drs visits?!) read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Chang's for 6.5 years. He delivered both of my children and has helped me through a few other issues since then. He is kind, an excellent listener and generous with his time. He's super smart but humble: He will consult with other doctors if there's a question he can't answer or you're asking about a treatment he wouldn't ordinarily recommend in a particular situation. It's difficult to find all of these qualities in one doctor. If you're looking for an OBGYN, particularly one who can guide you a through a low-intervention birth, I couldn't recommend him more highly. He is the best. read more

Doctor Francis Chang is a great doctor, and goes above and beyond for his patients. After my first appointment, he gave me his cell phone number to text him if I had any questions or concerns. The nurses, and Michelle the Ultrasound Technician are also very nice and patient. Dr. Chang has 2 offices in Orange County. If you want to make an appointment, call 949-753-7999 for the Barranca office in Irvine Location. read more

We love Dr Chang! So informative and personable. He's delivered my daughter and he will deliver my next daughter sometime this month. He's great! read more

All I can say is, believe all the reviews you see here. My wife and I chose Dr. Chang as our OBGYN and he delivered our daughter last week. Over the course of the past 40 weeks, in every single interaction, Dr. Chang has been respectful, knowledgeable, caring, and patient. Dr. Chang truly loves his job and I highly suggest using him. He goes above and beyond, not because he has to, but because he wants to. As a husband, it's nice to have a Doctor you can trust your wife and child's health/well-being with. Plus, what doctor lets you text/call at any time?! Dr. Chang shares an office with 2 other OBGYN's. It gets kinda hectic and sometimes they fall behind. Long waits happened for us on every other office visit and that's the only downside. But, it was well worth it. read more

Dr Chang is the best! I am so grateful to have found him as he delivered my little girl on Christmas 2015. He really listens to his patients and is so accommodating. He has a very low c section rate and does everything to avoid going down that path even if it takes much longer. Such a gentle and intelligent soul. read more

Dr. Chang is by far the best! He is so nice and really take his time with you and always asks if you have any questions. He made me feel so comfortable throughout my entire pregnancy I would definitely have him deliver my next future child. I had a scare after my son was deliver NICU needed to be called to my room and the nurse in training at the hospital was frozen from shock she just stood there so dr Chang quickly delivered my placenta and ran to get NICU himself. I will always and forever be grateful for Dr. Chang! read more

Excellent physician. I can't say enough about him. He is knowledgable and has a wonderful bedside manner. He is also very patient and takes the time to educate his patients so they are empowered to make informed decisions that best meet their needs. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a quality ob/gyn. read more

Dr. Francis Chang is extremely professional and easy to talk too. I only seen him twice but I won't be coming back. It's impossible to get an appt here, even though the staff always answers the phone. He also never calls back with results even though we made two follow up phone call appointments. Also when paying your co pay they only accept check! So old school, I gotten two bills from them two months even though I try to pay right after my visit and had to send them a check. No appt reminders, can't get a follow up, can't get lab results,l. As much as I like this doctor they need to update their system. read more

Dr. Chang is the best doctor when it came to taking care of my daughter and I during my pregnancy. I had an emergency C section after getting and induced. I was not scared thanks to Dr. Chang. He took care of my daughter and I and I couldn't have been in better hands. I was able to call him at anytime if I had questions or concerns. I have never met a more dedicated doctor than him. I had my first daughter in 2016 when he was still located in DTLA. I told my husband if we have another child I will follow him. Now, I'm pregnant with my second child and I will be driving to Costa Mesa. He's very informative, patient and overall very comforting. He made my first pregnancy worry free. Thank you Dr. Chang read more

He is the best! We had our first baby in 2016 with the help of Dr. Chang and want to have our 2nd baby relic with him. But now who can tell me how to contact with Dr. Chang? read more

Dr. Chang is hands-down the BEST doctor I have ever seen. I was very lucky to have him for my high risk second pregnancy. He is knowledgeable and his bedside manner is wonderful. He is calm, caring, funny, and he really takes his time with his patients. No matter how busy his office got, when I was in the exam room with him, he encouraged any and all questions and really was very thorough with his answers. He made me feel like I was is most important patient. My husband and my 1.5 year old son came to my appointments too, and they both love him as well. He truly loves what he does and is very good at it. I gave birth to my second son in September '19 and Dr. Chang was a blessing. read more

There are not enough kind words in the world to describe this incredible doctor, but I'm going to try anyways. For my first pregnancy, I ended up going to a large OB group in Newport and I wish I had searched for Dr. Chang at that time. After a terrible and awful labor and delivery experience with that group, I found Dr Chang for my second pregnancy. It was one of the BEST decisions I've ever made. We discussed a realistic birth plan, and it was truly through his support and the fact he wanted to give my body the time to labor appropriately that allowed me to have a successful VBAC. He is kind, intelligent, and is truly gifted. After every appointment I always felt at ease. He gives patients his direct contact number. I never wanted to use it, bc I know he has a family and he deserves his personal time after work hours. But, I think Dr Chang works 24/7 or must be superhuman. When he saw me in the office for my urgent appointment, an appointment I was able to get ASAP without delay, he reminded me that I could and should call him for emergencies. I had second trimester bleeding which turned out to be a large subchorionic hematoma which Dr. Chang immediately diagnosed and monitored through my pregnancy. Dr. Chang has an extremely busy schedule and sees many patients and performs many surgeries, but you'd never know this because he somehow makes you feel like you're the only patient he has. He is attentive and truly cares for his patients. He should be training other OBs, bc the care and professionalism is like no other. He makes it a priority to delivery every baby himself and doesn't rely on a call team. I don't know of many physicians who still do that, and I'm a physician also. I know he doesn't need this positive review, but I wanted to say THANK YOU Dr. Chang for being such an INCREDIBLE doctor and human. read more
