Bio:
Dr. Chang is a Professor and Vice Chairman of Strategic Development and Innovation in the Department of Neurosurgery at Stanford. He is also the inaugural holder of the Robert C. And Jeannette Powell Professorship in the Neurosciences at Stanford University School of Medicine. His clinical work and research focuses on the treatment of brain tumors and cerebrovascular disease.
After receiving his Medical Degree and completing his Neurosurgery residency training at Stanford University, Dr. Chang joined Stanford’s Department of Neurosurgery in 2000. He was named full professor in 2008, and that same year was appointed as the Powell Professor in the Neurosciences. Dr. Chang has a national and international reputation as an expert in both microsurgery and radiosurgery for treatment of brain, spine, and skull base tumors, and is the Co-Director of the Surgical Neuro-Oncology Program. His radiosurgery practice focuses on the use of the Cyberknife to treat neoplasms of the brain and spine. He was instrumental in the rapid growth of the Stanford Cyberknife Radiosurgery Program and is currently Co-Director of this program. Dr. Chang also specializes in the treatment arteriovenous malformations and cavernous malformations of the brain and spine, and surgical treatment of intracranial aneurysms. A fellowship trained cerebrovascular neurosurgeon, Dr. Chang specializes in multi-modality therapy for these vascular lesions. He is also an expert in both microsurgery and radiosurgery for treatment of trigeminal neuralgia.
Dr. Chang's research focuses on clinical outcomes for radiosurgery of brain and spine tumors. His lab has active research projects involving genetic analysis of arteriovenous malformation patients. He is the Director of the Stanford Neurogenetics Oncology Program and the Director of the Stanford Neuromolecular Innovations Program. He is the author or co-author of more than 300 peer-reviewed publications and book chapters.

SHC Patient, Jun 2019
Very professional, and they're very nice..
SHC Patient, Apr 2019
All of my care providers are very friendly, knowledgeable, and nice; such as Dr. Hancock. Dr. Chang, Dr. Wang, Dr. Huy Do, Dr. Heestand, and their PA, RN...
SHC Patient, Apr 2019
Dr. Chang is a pro. Easy to be with, competent, good communicator. First class.
SHC Patient, Apr 2019
I'm very thankful to have Dr. Chang as my physician. I truly could not ask for anyone better. I have total confidence in him.
SHC Patient, Mar 2019
It was always good help.
SHC Patient, Mar 2019
Good.
SHC Patient, Feb 2019
All good.
SHC Patient, Feb 2019
I was able to finally get a better feel for exactly what the risk/benefits were for my procedure specific to Dr Chang's success record and my patient suitability for the procedure. This was great and very much appreciated. The big downside is that if I had had that information earlier; I would have not felt the need to reschedule the surgery. The info I had from Dr Chang when first seen was more "generic" about typical stats, which was more concerning. I was processing and understanding the new specific information for me at the same time as trying to make major decisions, which is actually pretty hard. Providing patient-specific information at the time of the first consult would have been very helpful and would have reduced worry significantly.
SHC Patient, Jan 2019
The information was clear and concise. I felt comfortable asking questions.
SHC Patient, Jan 2019
Excellent, recommending Dr. Steven Chang highly.
SHC Patient, Jan 2019
Dr. Chang is always caring and gets right to the point. I gave Dr. Chang a very good because he is an excellent surgeon.

Thank you for a very positive and encouraging visit. It really helped me psychologically to carry on with confidence.
SHC Patient, Dec 2018
My care provider is kind, caring, informative and takes the time to explain everything to me in terms I can easily understand. I have the best doctor in every regard!!!!!
SHC Patient, Oct 2018
Already have referred to friend.
SHC Patient, Oct 2018
(Many other doctors do not show images as it takes time.) Dr. Chang took enough time to check on the image of MRI during the consultation and suggested to me to take PET scan to find out my condition farther, and refer me to Dr. Hancock, radiation oncologist. Both of them took care of my problem so promptly and I believe these doctors are the "best of the best" at Stanford. We are very grateful.
SHC Patient, Oct 2018
Good experience.
SHC Patient, Sep 2018
I assume this all refers to Dr. Chang. He's an outstanding doctor and care provider. My concerns were with the team administering the MRI. I hope this survey addresses that.
SHC Patient, Jun 2018
Before this appointment, I was seeing another neurologist but I still didn't understand what Chiari malformation was. Dr. Chang explained it well enough for me to actually understand and visualize it. Now whenever family and friends ask me what Chiari malformation is, I can finally explain it -
SHC Patient, Jun 2018
I feel that Drs. Chang and Soltep and staff show knowledge of my problem and concern for my total well being. I feel safe in their care. They listen to me and follow up as promised.
SHC Patient, Jun 2018
Very good experience for the last 10 yrs.
SHC Patient, May 2018
Staying in communication has been very easy. Especially with this Stanford health care portal.
SHC Patient, Mar 2018
nothing can be better,
SHC Patient, Mar 2018
Very good.
SHC Patient, Mar 2018
great
SHC Patient, Jan 2018
Dr. Steven Chang did my brain surgery 12 yrs ago and I have to come every year after I've had an MRI to make sure the tumor hasn't come back because the pathology was genetic. Dr. Chang is always polite and precise.
SHC Patient, Jan 2018
good
SHC Patient, Nov 2017
A very professional team.
SHC Patient, Nov 2017
Dr. Chang is wonderful.
SHC Patient, Oct 2017
Dr. Chang and Dr. Soltys fixed me up! Thank you!
SHC Patient, Jul 2017
good
SHC Patient, Jul 2017
Dr. Chang was very accommodating and adjusted his time to meet with us even though our appointment with him was one and one-half hours late due to the lateness of the MRI. We know that he is very busy and appreciated him seeing us as soon as possible so we could leave for our long drive home.
SHC Patient, Jul 2017
I had scheduled an appt. w/Stanford and UCSF; the outcome with Dr. Change convinced me he was the surgeon I wanted so I cancelled my UCSF appt.
SHC Patient, Jun 2017
Dr. Chang is an experience and good doctor.

SHC Patient, Apr 2017
Every question was answered with care & compassion & with professional care.
SHC Patient, Mar 2017
Dr. Chang is awesome (brilliant high be a better description) and people that smart communicate a bit differently - but left me with no un-answered or understood questions. It's hard to describe my satisfaction and feeling of being cared for by a really great and generally superior capable staff.
SHC Patient, Mar 2017
Excellent, kind and considerate care.
SHC Patient, Mar 2017
Dr. Chang and his surgical team exceeded all my expectations at every level. They were patient, caring and informative. Most importantly, due to their excellent surgical skills - I have my life back.
SHC Patient, Mar 2017
Dr. Chang is trustworthy. I always appreciate his _____ & honesty. I listen carefully to whole he says, including as we make decisions. I trust him. And I'm glad to see him smiling more!
SHC Patient, Feb 2017
Due to severity and unpredictable aspects to my mothers complications it was sometimes difficult to get a thorough understanding in one sitting. Staff was flexible to speak to me whenever I had questions.
SHC Patient, Feb 2017
If I have a question they always help me and answer my questions -
SHC Patient, Jan 2017
Absolutely awesome feelings of the whole group!

We have moved from UCSF to Stanford to address my husband's ongoing pressure - Dr. Chang made us feel heard, seen, cared about, in good hands, and left us feeling like we not only have viable options, but a doctor who is interested in helping us. We are so thankful.
SHC Patient, Nov 2016

SHC Patient, Oct 2016
Very thorough and informative follow-up visit. Explanation of the MRI and follow up treatment explained.
