"This practice continues to impress me. The staff and Dr. Chang are warm, friendly, and make you feel truly known and cared for. They always take the time to explain each step of every procedure. This practice serves my whole family, and we’ve had consistently positive experiences. The doctor showed incredible patience working with my mother, who has extreme anxiety about dental work and needed significant treatment. He went out of his way to support her getting services that best met her personal needs, which made all the difference. Thank you, Dr. Chang."

"Dr Chang is a great dentist! He and his staff are very dedicated and detail oriented. He let's you know exactly what needs to be done and options of how soon and how much before you decide on the procedures. The office is flexible with scheduling, which helps alot. There are a couple of parking lots nearby and the Metro as well. So it's still convenient even though I live in MD.I have been a patient in this practice for over twenty years, since it was just Dr. Rothkopf. I've stayed because, frankly, I couldn't see going elsewhere, even after moving to Montgomery County.Thank you So much for your great care. I will greatly miss you in FL."
