It goes without saying that fertility treatments are a very emotional and personal experience. You need to have a fertility specialist and a team who you feel confident and comfortable with, because lets be honest you will spend a lot of time together. For me that team was Dr. Wendy Chang, her nurses and staff at SCRC. I honestly don't know how I would have made it through the experience without their support. Dr. Chang is very knowledgeable, detail oriented and compassionate. She takes time to discuss all treatment options and tailors a treatment plan that meets your needs and one that you are comfortable with. Dr. Chang and her staff are with you every step of the way and are always available to answer any questions you have. I honestly can not say enough good things about Dr. Chang. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a fertility specialist.

Dr. Chang is very kind and courteous, yet knowledgeable and professional. Yes, I think her big welcome smile is pretty well known! She always return her calls on the same day. At the office, she spent a lot of time with her patients. Dr. Chang always have our questions answered. She always make sure we are well taken care of with our medications and any necessary procedures. She even spent like two hours to thoroughly explain plans to us, way passed the office hours on a Friday afternoon. And that wasn't an initial consultation. She's the kind of doctor who I'll definitely recommend to others without a doubt!

Dr. Chang and her staff were great. Outside of having to wait longer than expected 1-2 times, I have absolutely no complaints. She is knowledgeable, caring and always follows up with a phone call. It was easy to schedule appointments when needed and the nurses were incredibly helpful and supportive.

I can't imagine anyone saying Dr. Chang doesn't have bedside manor. She's one of the nicest doctors I have ever met and I have met MANY! My husband and I have had 6 miscarriages and we have been seeing Dr. Chang for 4 years. She has worked tirelessly to help us find out what is wrong. Every appointment we have had she meets with us privately in her office and lets us stay and ask as many questions as we have. We never feel like we are being rushed. She seems genuinely concerned. My husband was brutally attacked 3 years ago and has had many facial surgeries and she always asks how he is doing and comments on how well he has healed and looks. She always gets back to my phone calls and makes us feel like we are not just a #. The only thing I can possibly think would make someone say she has no bedside manner is possibly another doctors office trying to steal her clients. Dr. Chang greets you with a bright and welcoming smile every time! If that's bad manner then I'll take that any day!

She knows stuff, but has no bedside manner. She doesn't establish a relationship with the patient or seem to care. Go elsewhere for fertility - there is a lot to be said for joy, peace,and caring - things Doc Chang doesn't provide.

This is the worst doctor. She treats her patients as money tree. I and my husband had difficult to have kids, so I seek her help. She performed many procedures on me. After she did a single medical procedure (not IVF, just some procedure to clean the cysts or something, took her half hour and I rest half hour after the procedure and went home) on me and charged my insurance for over $10K , which I suspect is an insurance fraud, but I have no evidence and I have limited knowledge on this thing, I reallized this is not a RE doctor I should go, because IVF is expensive and the success depends on many things. And the bills SCRC sent to me are never clear about what the cost is for. So I left her and went to HRC and I got a beautiful daughter soon after. Looking back, I suspect the medical procedures she preformed on me are not necessary either because our difficulty to have kids is due to my husband. Her professional capability may be fine, but she doesn't have the ethics to be a doctor.

We absolutely LOVE Dr. Chang! After two IVF cycles with her, we have a son and twins on the way (first attempt both times). She is extremely intelligent yet not intimidating. At times we had to wait for various reasons but she was always apologetic and empathic. I would undoubtedly recommend her to anyone I know. The staff at SCRC is amazing as well. We had an unforgettable experience.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Chang to a friend. She is straightforward and concise, and she assumes you have done your research, but she is very kind, as well. We were at the Ventura office, where she only is one day a week, so we only saw Dr. Chang during our first few initial diagnosis visits, during the actual IVF process (done in Beverly Hills), and during the first and last pregnancy visits, but I spoke on the phone with her several other times. The other times I just had an ultrasound and bloodwork done which were done by the same nurse and ultrasound tech each time. I felt very comfortable with Dr. Chang and we got pregnant after our first IVF cycle!
