Edward Chang, MD

Bio

I have had the pleasure of having inspirational role models during my years of training. Through that I realized the importance of being a teacher.

My most recent role has been as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery at New York-Presbyterian Medical Center (Columbia), where I was the Director of Facial Plastic Surgery Education.

Prior to that, I was the former director of Facial Plastic Surgery at the University of South Florida (USF).

I continue to refine my knowledge and skills through teaching and having association with the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS). I am also a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. My practices have been in Palo Alto CA, and recently in New York City.

I have travelled to Honduras as a visiting instructor in the department of plastic surgery. There, we have treated patients with maxillofacial maladies and have been involved in the training of Honduran physicians. For the past several years, I have organized and conducted multi-institutional courses in facial plastic surgery.
Because of the complex anatomy of the face, head, and neck and its visibility to all, I focus my practice on the surgical specialty of Otolaryngology /Head and Neck Surgery and the sub-specialty of Facial Plastic Surgery.

I am proud to have been able to join a fine group of physicians here at the Santa Rosa Medical Center, all of whom focus on excellent delivery of health care.
