Review of
Dr. Chang is compassionate, knowledgable and an all around great doctor...She always took the time to answer any and all questions. She spent as long as needed with me during every appointment - I never felt rushed. Beyond that, she was always responsive over email to any additional questions or concerns I shared outside of appointments...was always available, understanding and worked with us to evolve our plan to be the best one for us...
All of the nurses [at Northwell Health] were compassionate and accessible. Similar to Dr. Chang - they always took the time to chat with me and answer any questions I might have...The overall clinic was great - everyone is accessible. Most appointments throughout the process are during morning 7-9 office hours. I never had to wait long and always felt like a human, specific case rather than a random patient that was being churned through a process..

Dr. Chang is compassionate, knowledgable and an all around great doctor. We encountered a few bumps in the road along our fertility journey and Dr. Chang was always available, understanding and worked with us to evolve our plan to be the best one for us. I felt like she was treating me rather than following a blueprint and cannot recommend her enough.

Describe the protocols Sydney Chang used in your cycles at Northwell Health (FKA North Shore Long Island Jewish) and their degree of success.
We initially started to build my lining with estrace and I did not respond as well as Dr. Chang had hoped. She outlined the options - trying a transfer or starting over with a new protocol. We discussed the pros/cons and ultimately decided to cancel that cycle and try again. The next time we used a modified natural cycle leveraging letrozole and had significant improvement which gave us more confidence to transfer.

She also took the time to explain to me what she was seeing on the ultrasound, which was so helpful and reassuring...She took the time to explain everything thoroughly to me and encouraged me to ask questions. She made me feel like a friend rather than a patient...
I felt like each team member in the clinic [Northwell Health] truly cared about my treatment and the success of my cycle. Everyone was very friendly and respectful...Monitoring was from 7am-9am. I would have my bloodwork drawn first and then I would immediately go to a room for my ultrasound. I never had to wait long for my ultrasound. Everything seemed organized...The nurses were excellent! Very compassionate, knowledgeable, and organized...

Dr. Chang was wonderful, very sweet. She listened to all my concerns and needs. She read all my files, years worth of information. Agreed to things I wanted to do, and didn’t force a protocol on me that I wasn’t comfortable with. Always available to talk, even called or emailed to check up on me. She is absolutely by far one of the best doctors I have had, I have been to 5 others, and only 1 other was as good as her...
It is not a a big clinic [Northwell Health], so you don’t feel like just a number like other bigger clinics. You are seen pretty quickly, you do not have to wait and everything is run smoothly. It is clean, nice and organized...All [nurses] were wonderful and caring! Always available to talk about anything and everything...Morning monitoring was 7-. They are very efficient, and accommodating if you are late they don’t turn you away like other clinics I have been at...

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Sydney Chang at Northwell Health (FKA North Shore Long Island Jewish)?
During my time with Dr. Chang, not once did I ever feel like a number. Every visit I was referred to as my name, and her ability to intentionally listen was what sold my husband and I. Although we wore masks, I could always tell she was smiling with her eyes and everything she suggested was at the best interest for my husband and myself. Dr. Chang answered every question I had during our journey and provided sound reasons for all of her responses. I have never felt more at peace with a Doctor. We are forever grateful.
