Tom S Chang, MD knows how to speak Mandarin which is the language spoken by most people from China, which means that he can communicate with other Chinese. It is easy to address all the problems from people speaking similar languages. However, working in the United States is different because there are other languages that people use, such as English and Spanish. As such, he must make sure that his facility understands the patients using such languages. To his huge credit, Tom S Chang MD has worked hard and is now able to speak both English and Spanish languages, which means that he is able to listen to all the patients who are demanding various medical services from his medical facility. Having such cutting-edge knowledge and advantage over other medical experts in the same industry has made him be the go-to ophthalmologist in the region.

Chang believes that doctors will always have the final word. Technology will just be there to help in diagnosing. People are the heart of everything that is done at the business. Caring about patients is truly what Tom Chang MD believes that the medical field is all about. He believes that it is a matter of respect, which the world needs more of. Without respect, there are no treatments and there is no trust between the doctor and patient. Other than loving his career in medicine, Dr. Tom Chang does have fun outside of work. He loves to ski and loves to play the guitar. Music helps him to focus and distress as he sits in that single moment with his guitar. He attributes his impressive success and his humility to his mentor that was with him when he worked in Miami. That individual is J. Donald Glass who was Chang’s clinical fellow.
