Meet Frank Chang, MD
Whether they need surgical or non-surgical care, I strive to help children with chronic disabilities be the best they can be. I also believe that adaptive sports can make a big difference in the lives of children with disabilities."If we could have some impact to improve [a child's] performance, it's very gratifying."
- Dr. Frank Chang
Get to know his background
I've dedicated my career to helping maximize the function of children with chronic disabilities. I specialize in treating children with bone or muscular deformities that result from brain or spinal injuries or conditions. I spend the majority of my time treating children with cerebral palsy. Our goal is to maximize function and comfort for all children with cerebral palsy and other neuromuscular conditions. I also treat osteogenesis imperfecta, gait abnormalities, and other common pediatric orthopedic conditions.
