Reviews of Columbia Aesthetic Plastic Surgery: Dr. Eric Chang (Plastic Surgery)

LaToya C

Dr. Chang, Josephine and Columbia Aesthetic Plastic Surgery staff provided me with best comfort and service. Dr. Chang recently performed my breast reduction surgery. I received A+ care and service through consultation, surgery, and recovery. I highly recommend Dr. Chang (Columbia Aesthetic Plastic Surgery).

They were very polite and up front about all the information I needed to know. Answered all my questions and were available through the healing process also. Great place!

Dr. Chang saw my elderly mother. She had a tumor on her chest that was alarming and severe. Both Dr Chang and his PA Josephine reacted immediately with compassion and a sense of urgency. He removed the tumor 6 days later. Thank you so much Dr Chang (and Josephine).

I think Dr. Chang is a great doctor. He thoroughly went over exactly what he is was going to do and what I would experience during recovery. He also made sure to answer my questions. He is friendly and easy to talk to. I liked that he listened to me and took the time to understand my concerns and help me feel less anxious. He is really down to earth and easy to communicate with. Office staff and nurses are also friendly and helpful. I have been here several times now and I would recommend this place.

Dr. Chang was great -- I definitely recommend him. Josephine the PA was equally as wonderful! They truly care about their patients here at CAPS.

I could not be happier with Dr. Chang and his staff, who have been supportive and helpful under difficult circumstances. I underwent a mastectomy for breast cancer and Dr Chang first treated me with the primary step of a tissue expander, which gets filled in stages, and is necessary before reconstructive surgery can be completed. Dr. Chang then performed the reconstructive surgery, and the result has been exceptional. I am actually quite pleased with my appearance. Breast cancer is such a frightening experience, and I'm very grateful to have such a positive result.

Dr. Eric Chang and Columbia Aesthetic Plastic Surgery are the best in the business! They're so professional yet comforting. Surgery can be anxious process, but the information and willingness to explain received from everyone in the offices offers great reassurance. In addition, the results are AMAZING!!!!!

This is by far the best place in the DC/Baltimore area for Plastic Surgery. To start, the entire staff is helpful and sincere. When I came in for a consultation, both Dr. Chang and PA Josephine took into consideration of what I was looking for, they did not make me feel rushed, nor were they trying to push any additional surgery. Unlike the rest of the Plastic Surgeons in the area. They let me know exactly what I was to expect for the type of surgery I needed. They answered all of my questions and informed me on the average recovery time. Their prices are more than fair. Before I came to Columbia Aesthetic, I had price checked 4 other practices in the area, compared to them, Columbia Aesthetic was by far the best option. I would also like to mention that Columbia Aesthetic did not push any third party products like every other practice did. On the day of the surgery Dr. Chang and his staff finished about 30 minutes ahead of schedule, the next day I received a call from the both the surgery centers nurses and the nurses at Columbia Aesthetic. They were genuinely concerned with my well being and reiterated what to expect in the coming weeks. It has been about a year since I had the surgery, and the results are exactly what I was asking for. Don't waste your time going to any other Plastic Surgeon. If you are wanting/needing plastic surgery go to Columbia Aesthetic first. They are by far the best in the area, and will definitely have my continued business.

You get what you pay for and this guy is Picasso. A true artist. If you want the best, go with Dr. Chang.

Pam - Chas Burke

The most caring, talented, professional surgeon and staff that you could ever hope for. My experience related to a breast cancer diagnosis and the concern that everyone showed for my situation and outcome has meant the world to me. And I am so happy with the result!

Jeanie Anastasi

Josephine is the best. So caring and gentle. Dr. Chang did a great job and his “sharpie” explanations before surgery were excellent.

Aleena

Everyone at this office is so polite and helpful, especially Dr. Chang! He made this such an easy process for me and I wasn’t nervous about much. He knows how to treat patients and get them the best possible results. I would highly recommend him!

Storme Frame

Dr. Eric Chang is a life changer! He removed more than 6lbs of breast tissue during a breast reduction that had been weighing me down for far too long! 20 years worth neck and shoulder pain…gone! ❤️Incredibly professional, thorough, and I 10/10, HIGHLY recommend.

I've had 2 procedures with Dr. Chang. I did some research online first and researched his website. What I noticed was the precision of his surgical incisions. Many, surgeons' incisions looked jagged. Dr. Chang's incisions were in a straight line. I finally called the office for a consult on an abdominoplasty in 2017. Dr. Chang was the second surgeon that I saw regarding the procedure. He was very honest and provided me with realistic expectations about my procedure. I asked if he thought I needed to lose weight prior to the procedure and his response was, I never tell my patients what is going to be most comfortable for them. Once my consultation was over, I received an information package that included an itemized list of estimated costs for the procedure. That itemized list included, hospital fees, anesthesia fees, as well as, his surgical fees. Dr. Chang had the most upfront and transparent pricing. Not to mention, his price point was much more reasonable than the other surgeon that I visited. Fast forward to 2018. I had lost some weight and we discussed what I could reasonably expect from my procedure. Of course, me being me, I threw a monkey wrench into my treatment plan. I added a gynecological procedure to be performed at the same time (a 2 for 1 per se). Again, he explained what he would and would not be able to do (get to my love handles), with adding the other procedure. I was ecstatic about my results. I healed very well with limited scarring. Fast forward again to 2019, I wanted to correct my "back fat". Correction, Dr. Chang said it was simply excess skin. No need to be flat in the front and bumpy in the back. I received the same type of service as before with this consultation. Two weeks before my procedure, I threw yet another monkey wrench. I added the extended tummy tuck; which addressed the love handles. While this was an additional cost to me. We discussed expectations. I am currently 4 weeks post op and could NOT be more ecstatic than I am. My results are amaze balls!!! I am flat in the front and flat in the back, so that means that overall I am a snatched snack. :)

Dr. Chang was recommended by my dermatologist to take the biopsy on my face to leave minimal scarring. Highly recommend a plastic surgeon to reduce scarring. I have several friends and family that didnt and wish they had been advised about involving a plastic surgeon. I did have skin cancer. The first scar only 7 days after biopsy cut was minimally vusual. He completed the 2nd surgery after having the Mohs procedure several weeks later after the biopsy results. Its almost 3 weeks later and its looking way better in last few days. He had to cut part of nose/cheek to cover the Mohs surgery cuts. Thankfully he didnt have to cut from my forehead. He is an excellent, thorough Doctor and Surgeon. He and his staff are very professional. Highly recommend Dr. Chang Patient (Mar 2018) M Mathews-Kalinock

He saved my life - after a botched, infected spinal surgery from another physician!

Dude saved my life.

Dr. Eric Chang is a best plastic Surgery doctor I known. I did the surgery on my face to remove a mole. after few weeks, it's looks nothing happened, it's no any sign and any traces there. And, "Office staff and nurses are also friendly and helpful." Thanks, Dr. Chang.!

Elizabeth Melton

I’ve had such a positive experience with Dr Chang, Josephine, and the rest of the staff at Columbia Aesthetic. After having a large skin cancer removed, I needed plastic surgery to close the wound. The healing was quick, and they were reassuring and forthcoming with what to expect. What I appreciated most of all was the caring and empathy I received during that anxious time. I highly recommend them!

Karen Kunda

I cannot possilby say enough great things about this practice. Beginning with my consulation through my post surgery check ups, everyone was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Dr. Chang and his staff always took the time to answer all of my questions and never made me feel rushed. When I requested changes to my procedure, Dr.Chang thoroughly discussed the modifications and how to acheive the best possible outcome for my requested results. The surgery center as top notch as well. The entire process was as smooth as silk! I am completly satified with my prodcedure and would highly recommend taking the time to do your research as I did. Although there were plenty of other Plastic Surgeons closer to my location, I chose Dr. Chang based on his education, experience and wonderful reviews. It was definitley a choice I would make again.

Ash Laurice

I had a large lipoma, located behind my right ear. I had it removed a few years back by another surgeon, who didn’t remove the whole thing, causing it to grow back. Dr. Chang removed all of it!!! I had a wonderful experience, from his office staff. To the staff at Howard County General surgery center. Everyone and I mean everyone was sooooo nice, and caring. I had no choice but to write a review! I would do it all over again. Thank you Dr.Chang for allowing me to wear a ponytail again.????

Lisa Armes

Dr. Chang and PA Josephine Dubon are an unbeatable team - skilled, professional, compassionate and caring!

Amanda Bridges

I had a fantastic experience with Dr. Chang and his staff. Everyone there is very professional and friendly. The whole process went seamless and I am extremely happy with the results of my surgery! I would recommend Dr. Chang to all my friends!

Charlene M

I am so grateful that I was referred to Dr. Chang. My experience with him and his staff could not have been better. His work is impeccable and turned out so much better than I could have ever imagined. My pain is minimal and I’m moving around so well. I could not have wished for a better experience hands down!

Zach Reaver

Absolutely wonderful experience!! Dr Chang and his team provided a level of care and service that I appreciate. If you are interested or need a plastic surgeon, Columbia Aesthetics will be my first choice.

Sara Nazir

My experience with Dr. Eric Chang and his office has been excellent! They were very patient throughout the course of my procedure and I felt comfortable the entire time. It was clear how professional and courteous they were, and I am glad I trusted their expertise for my operation.

Linda Abato

after extensive Mohs surgery on my right cheek, i required a skin flap and skin graft to close the wound. the resulting scar is barely noticeable after 6 weeks.

Melody Scaldara

Dr Chang, Josephine and the staff deserve a 5 star rating. They work as finely tuned machine. Dr Chang spent time with me before my procedure to be sure I understood his process and the recovery. He gives very clear explanations and directions, always verifying along the way if your questions have been answered. Both he and Josephine are kind, welcoming, compassionate and just downright pleasant - it is easy to tell they love what they do and truly care for their patients. I would recommend them without hesitation.

Tonya Mitchell

Dr. Chang was wonderful! He repaired an ear lobe that was about to split and it looks beautiful. I didn't feel a thing. I would recommend him for your plastic surgery needs.

Dylan Manning

I cannot recommend Columbia Aesthetic Plastic Surgery enough. The entire team runs like a well-oiled machine. Everything is easy to do and everyone is easy to talk to. They make the process of surgery as stress-free as possible, which was important to me as someone having my first procedure done. The consultation, pre-op, and post-op are spectacular and they will make sure that you are taken care of. After surgery, there is a phone line you can call any time and they will call you back almost immediately and answer any questions. The results of my surgery are still pending as of the writing of this review, but I am extremely optimistic and it is already looking better than expected. My whole experience from start to finish was better than I could have hoped. I struggle to even think of ways that Columbia Aesthetic could improve. If you need anything done, give them a shot and let them talk to you about iti. I fully believe you will be as impressed as I am.

Stephanie Finch

If I could give Dr. Chang and his staff 10 stars, I would! This professional and caring team quickly moved mountains to help my son with some emergency reconstructive surgery. We have a ways to go, but our family has been blown away with how much they cared about our story -and wanted to go over and beyond to help. They are carrying us through a very scary time with patience, kindness, and Dr. Chang's compassion and amazing talent is reflected is his staff as well. THANK YOU! I would HIGHLY recommend this team to anyone!

Lori N.

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Chang. I had a breast reduction and tummy tuck...I’m super happy with my results!! During my pre-surgery visits to Dr. Chang’s office he was very informative. He explained every detail of both procedures which made me feel comfortable. He’s very friendly and his staff are very helpful. I would definitely recommend Dr. Chang to anyone who is interested in having any plastic surgery procedures. Thank you Dr. Chang!!

LIZ HARPER

Dr. Chang made me feel like I was doomed to have the face I have as there was nothing he could do that would meet my expectations even though I did not state what my expectations were. Horribly insensitive. Went to another Plastic Surgery and discovered all the things that can be done to help my skin and revitalize my face. I did not see or hear of any specialized equipment and treatments that he offered. Try a plastic surgeon who offers newer modalities and techniques. You will be much happier.

Silvia Hunter

Recently I had eyelid surgery done by Dr. Chang in his office. I don't think my experience could have been any better. Right from the start, the staff, Josephine, Alex, and Nicole were friendly and professional and made me feel like they really cared about me as a patient. The surgery was done and over with quickly and I had no pain. Dr. Chang is very skilled and I'm so grateful for his careful and fine work. The healing process has gone well. I'm very happy that I found Dr. Chang and would highly recommend him to anyone considering plastic surgery. Thank you Dr. Chang, Josephine, Nicole and Alex!

Rob July

Full disclosure, I am an artist myself, so when my doctor told me Dr. Eric Chang is a "magician"-- I was encouraged. She is an amazing doctor, so I went straight to Columbia Aesthetic to see him. I had never had cosmetic surgery, and my procedure was under the dark shadow of a breast cancer diagnosis-- and at the first weeks of the Covid-19 shut down. The whole situation seemed surreal to say the least. But I was so well cared for by Dr. Chang-- and Josephine, Alex, and Nicole-- his entire staff was so very supportive. My experience could not have been any better in spite of all those circumstances. My cancer was completely taken care of and, with the reconstruction he created, I look way better than I could have dreamed! I was also shocked at how completely my pain was managed. I basically had none. I feel so grateful to have found my way to Dr. Chang. If you are on his schedule, you are in for a treat. I can't recommend Columbia Aesthetic-- Dr. Chang and all of his dedicated staff-- highly enough.

I selected Dr. Chang for breast augmentation surgery based on his reputation with my friend who worked with him in the medical profession. Upon meeting him I immediately understood why he was so well thought of in the medical community. He was warm, caring and spent time to answer all of my questions. I never once felt rushed. His glowing credentials of training and prior experience further confirmed his qualifications. The day of surgery I watched as all of the surgery center staff flocked to hug and greet him. The nurses raved about him as a doctor throughout pre-op. I felt as though I was his only patient as he prepared me for the operation and he even dedicated time to address all questions and concerns of my attending family members. Fast forward a month post-surgery and I’m beyond thrilled with the result and process. I followed his expertise and recommendation and look exactly as I hoped. I could not more highly recommend Dr. Chang and his staff. Thank you for the role you played in rebuilding my confidence after having three kids!

simon benjamin

I would like to say this was one of the best experiences I’ve had during my horrific injury. Being told I needed a skin graft done and not knowing how it would turn out was scary but the staff was amazing at scheduling, working with me and the procedure. After it was done and I had other surgeries to be done by nerve and orthopedic doctors they all stopped and asked WHO did you skin graft that looks amazing! I was blowed away “ like doc focus here “ lol. But now that it has healed it looks nothing like pictures on the internet of skin grafts it looks like my leg. So I’m closing if you’re reading and thinking about choosing Dr. Chang stop and ask no more set your appointment and be ready to write and amazing review of the great experience that you’ve had.

Katie Reck

Excellent experience! Dr. Chang is knowledgable, caring and easygoing. He has a great personality.

I am thankful for having Dr. Chang and his full staff as part of my breast cancer treatment team. They always take time to answer my questions and concerns. The office visits never feel rushed. They see patients on time for the most part. I am happy with my post-op results. I would highly recommend them.

Monica Yu

Dr. Chang was recommended to me by Dr. Silverman. I had the best experience with Dr. Chang and everyone in his Office, specially Ms. Josephine. They answered all the questions I had, and made me feel very comfortable. I highly recommend Dr. Chang and his Practice!

Barbara Brown

Dr. Chang and his office staff are amazing. They took a stressful situation and made it manageable and even pleasant. So professional in every aspect but yet made you feel like they really cared.

Jane Scuto

Dr. Chang and his staff have been a pleasure to work with through a very stressful time this past year. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in March 2021 and I had my first of two surgeries with Dr. Chang in April 2021 and the part 2 in July 2021. Thanks to them, the results of my surgeries have been great! During the process, Dr. Chang and his PA Josephine took their time to explain the surgical and recovery expectations to me in an easy to understand way. The office staff has been a pleasure to work with. They are friendly, responsive, knowledgeable and helpful every time I’ve had any interaction with them. My surgical results have been nothing but impressive and I am very pleased. I would (and have!) recommended Dr. Chang to my friends and family!

Kimberly Krug

Dr. Chang and Josephine his PA were just great! My mother had cancer that required a large part of her nose be removed by a dermatologist surgeon, Dr. Chang gave her a new nose which he did a superb job! Amazing what she looks like now!

Samuel Wolgemuth

The surgery my wife had was excellent. Dr Chang's staff are outstanding, especially Josephine.

Laura M

Dr. Chang was recommended to me by my primary care physician after years of considering plastic surgery. I was immediately impressed with his exemplary credentials and breadth of knowledge. He put me at ease during our consultation and patiently answered all of my questions. I elected to have a breast reduction and tummy tuck and couldn’t be more happy with the results. Recovery was easy and Dr. Chang and his office staff were available to answer questions throughout the process. I highly recommend Columbia Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and Dr. Chang to friends and family members without hesitation.
