Profile

Dr. Chang is an acute care surgeon practicing at Fairbanks Memorial Hospital. Medicine is a calling that dates back through many generations for Dr. Chang, as his family has always been devoted to the care of others. After watching his uncle remove an appendix, Dr. Chang was hooked, applied himself, and managed to get accepted into medical school directly from high school.

Dr. Chang finds great satisfaction in fixing things with his hands, so it was natural for him to train as a general surgeon where he can see the results of his work in the moment. Dr. Chang believes that together he and his patients can do great things but recognizes that it's his role to advise patients and respect their choices.     

Interests & Activities

Away from his practice, Dr. Chang is always finding things to tinker with, as he has to keep busy. He enjoys farming, working on machinery and building things. You may also find him rafting on a local river, target shooting or flying. A military history buff, Dr. Chang also enjoys collecting military memorabilia.
