Dr asked why I wasn't scheduled for another ultrasound on my liver. I was taken aback by that question because I don't have the ability to schedule those and wasn't aware that it should have been done. It made me feel stupid.
Great doctor
Very interested in my answers.

Dr. Chang is wonderful doctor who took his time to explain my treatment and answer my wife and my questions. He helped put us at ease with my chemotherapy treatments. His nurse was wonderful too when I returned 48 hours later to get my pump disconnected.
