I just relocated to Palm Springs and needed to find a new dentist. Trusting in the nothing but 5 star reviews, I made an appointment to get my teeth cleaned and an examination by Dr. Chang. I walked into the nicely appointed front office and was warmly greeted. Within minutes I was taken into a spotlessly clean and modern exam room where x-rays were taken. After that, Dr. Chang came in to perform an examination before my teeth were cleaned. He and all of his staff were very friendly and professional. If you are looking for a great dentist in Palm Springs, I highly recommend! read more

Relied on the yelp reviews to find a good local dentist. Wasn't disappointed. Very friendly staff...very professional. Clean office and work area. Very informative about procedures needed. Absolute thumbs up. Highly recommend to any friends or family. read more

My husband and I are new in Palm Springs so we needed to find a new dentist that accepted the different dental insurance plans each of our employers offered. Additionally, we wanted someone that was respected by his/her clients. Using the information from various sources, including the reviews here on Yelp, we decided to visit Dr Chang. While we presented different issues, he addresses each of us thoughtfully, thoroughly and professional. Additionally, his staff is knowledgeable and prepared to assist you in any way needed. read more

From the time I called for my appointment until I walked out with clean teeth, my experience with Gerald E Chang, DDS was an amazing experience. Dr. Chang was very nice and had a warming personality about him. He was thorough in during is examination. I normally do not like going to the dentist however this experience has taken the anxiety a way. read more

Friendly and knowledgable staff. I needed emergency repair on a veneer. They took immediate care of my issue. On a Holiday weekend. Professional and clean office. Would use them for any dental work I need. read more

I had my very first dental appointment in years and I could not be more satisfied with Dr. Chang and his staff. Everybody there is extremely nice and understanding and highly professional. I have scheduled my second appointment already and as soon as my dental work is done my whole family will soon have appointments. Thank you Dr. Chang and staff for making my experience at the dentist super comfortable! read more

Great service makes it easy and comfortable thanks Gerald nothing more comforting than having a dentist that is gentle with the work and explains everything clearly he is somebody who cares about his job and your teeth thanks again!!! read more

I found Dr Gerald Chang's office on yelp and the reviews could not have been more accurate! From Dr Chang's thorough exam, to the "picture perfect" cleanings from Darlene, then to Andrea billing my insurance directly and scheduling visits while meeting all my schedule requirements! Dr Chang's office is definitely "The Best Dentist" in the entire Coachella Valley!!! read more

It really is true: Dr. Chang is exceptional. The entire staff too. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I have been two two cleanings and have had good experiences each time. My hygienist Ninh was great. I appreciated how he takes time when done to tell me what he saw and what he recommends for home care. Dr. Chang seems to care about patient comfort and is not out to hurry any treatments that aren't necessary at the time. The front office staff have been very helpful and friendly. I recommend the office. read more

As per the reviews before mine everything about the office, the staff & Dr. Chang are true. Excellent service, care and details. After having a crown pop off on Xmas they fit me into their busy after Xmas Tuesday schedule. I thought my dentist at home (who has since retired) was excellent but I can honestly say that my experience at Dr. Chang's office was far superior. So both myself and my husband will be establishing ourselves as permanant clients of Dr. Chang. Thank you! read more

After several months of back and forth with the person in charge of the billing, I finally spoke directly to Dr. Chang and he was able to resolve our billing problem rather quickly. It is unfortunate that so many people had to invest so much time into figuring out some problem that could have been avoided so easily. As I said in my initial review, Minh, the hygienist in this office does exceptional work and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thorough cleaning. read more

I was visiting Palm Springs when the crown on my tooth broke off. I checked around and decided to go to Dr Chang. What a pleasant surprise, as they got me in immediately. The office staff and Dr Chang were so kind and helpful. I highly recommend Dr Chang. read more

Dr. Chang has been an excellent dentist and I highly recommend him and his staff. Dr. Chang does not push unnecessary procedures as some other dentists I've been to in the past have. Dr. Chang's dental hygienist provides a thorough cleaning but is gentle at the same time, which makes for a pleasant dental visit. The office staff is also very friendly and polite. read more

The staff are extremely friendly and efficient. They made me feel at ease instantly! Dr. Chang is friendly and takes whatever time needed for your particular visit. Cassi did a great job and I really appreciate her working on her day off just to treat me! I will return and recommend to everyone!!!!! read more

As a new patient I was treated warmly and professionally by all of the office staff. Dr. Chang demonstrates competence and compassion and welcomed me to his practice. read more

My family and I have been going to Dr. Chang since I was a freshman in high school. We only wish we had been going to him from the start. He takes extremely good care of you and most importantly, makes you feel comfortable, because lets face it...no one likes going to the dentist. But ever since I have been under his care, I actually look forward for my routine checkups and cleanings. Another thing worth mentioning is that he takes time with his patients. He doesn't rush them out of there, unlike so many doctors I've had in the passed...and still have actually. His staff is great too which is always a plus! If you are looking for a great dentist, don't look any further because Dr. Chang is here to save your tooth aches! read more

Dr. Chang was recommend by my periodontist, Dr. Yi. I needed a crown replacement and I did not have a regular dentist. Dr. Chang is everything you would want in a dentist. Skilled, knowledgeable, kind, pleasant, and his entire staff is the same. I will be going there for all my dental needs. I was very pleased. read more

Dr. Chang is a great dentist. The office staff is very professional. I had a bone implant and then a post put in. It is a long procedure but very well worth it. I was always taken care of in a timely fashion. I would recommend Dr. Chang without reservation. Very pleased with my result. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Chang's the last three years, and I can't recommend his practice highly enough. They're flexible on sheduling and super friendly, especially Taylor, who always remembers what's going on in my life and makes great conversation. Dr. Chang is also friendly and professional. Best dentist experience I've ever had. read more

Clean, modern office with easy covered parking. Dr. Change and staff are very friendly. I had a tooth filling that went very well without any pain. The hygienist did an amazing job cleaning my teeth. I would recommend Dr. Chang to all my friends and family. read more

After seeing the same dentist for almost 15 years, I moved and had to find a new one. I loved my old dentist and didn't expect to get that lucky again. But I did. A friend recommended Dr. Chang and I am so happy to have found a new dentist that I think is amazing. The woman who greeted me, the X-ray tech, the hygienist who cleaned my teeth, and Dr. Chang, all exceeded my exceptions. Can't recommend this dental office enough. read more

I visited Dr. Chang's office this week. I was a first time patient. Everyone in the office including Dr. Chang was outstanding. His staff is very friendly and they make you feel welcome. I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. Chang. read more

Loved the bright, comfortable atmosphere of the office. Everyone was pleasant and welcoming. Procedures were done professionally and accomplished (last dentist could not get X-rays). I would recommend Dr. Chang to everyone read more

This was my first time to see Dr. Chang since I retired and moved to Palm Springs and I was very impressed. He did a thorough exam and explained everything that he was doing. I also had my teeth cleaned by the hygienist and she was also very good. The office staff was very friendly and welcoming and the exam rooms were very clean. I'm happy to have found a good dental practice to take over my care. read more

A very pleasant introduction to Dr. Chang's office today. Each staff member I dealt with was helpful, courteous and efficient. In my experience, a doctor's staff is as important as the doctor! Dr. Chang was informative without being arrogant, kind and courteous. Can't wait for my cleaning! read more

I always look forward to my visits to Dr. Chang's office. Delightful, competent office staff and excellent hygienist. Dr. Chang is thorough, professional and when I leave the office I always know I have had the best of care. read more

Awesome dentist! Friendly staff! Gentle hygienist! I love this place! My past experiences with dentists kept me away from getting the care I needed. Thanks to my friend Bob recommending Dr. Chang, my fear and anxiety are lifted. read more

Before I even arrived, I was impressed with the accuracy and professionalism of the staff, and even more so when I arrived. If going to the dentist caused me to delay, the opposite will be true as I continue on with Dr. Changs' office. Great service, excellent work, easy to talk with-and Dr. Chang himself was a personable as they come. He was very interested in everything I had to say about my dental history, and was helpful in suggesting future work I might want to consider. It never felt like he was trying to make money off of me which was a relief. I'd strongly recommend him to any and all... read more

I wasn't happy with my dental care, so I gave Dr. Chang a try. I'm glad I did! I found Dr. Chang to be able, capable, competent and qualified. Great calming presence, very knowledgeable, and efficient staff. Dr. Chang exceeded my expectations! read more

Had my first visit here earlier this week. The staff is great and Dr. Chang is a good dentist. Can't do much better than these folk!

Friends recommended we see Dr. Chang (after living in Palm Springs for 6 years and having con artists act as our 2 dentists). He is really GREAT! and his Staff is amazing. Call him, you will not be disappointed. read more

Dr Chang is the best dentist I've ever been to. Everyone in the office is so pleasant, he is so nice and does a great job. He's never in a rush, he answers all questions and explains everything he does. I just had a crown done and it was absolutely pain-free. Really just a positive experience all around! read more

Modern and clean office & staff is wonderful and so friendly, they make you feel so comfortable and at ease! Dr. Chang is very thorough and professional and it shows in his work! I would recommend all my friends and family to come to this office! Thanks Dr. Chang & staff for being so warm and making my time there pleasant! read more

This is a dental practice done right. There is no assembly line dentistry here. I was in the same chair for 70 minutes for three procedures. As other reviewers stated, the staff is highly efficient and friendly and Dr. Chang knows exactly what he's doing. He appears old enough to have years of experience under his belt but young enough to be familiar with the latest technology. Most impressively, he didn't try to sell me procedures I didn't need, even when I mentioned a very expensive procedure that other assembly line dentists recommended. The integrity of the doctor is always very important, but especially when there is no insurance involved. I highly recommend Dr. Chang. It has been a looooong time since I have felt comfortable in a dental office but it happened here. I have found my dentist. read more

After moving here from Long Beach last year I had to find a new dentist. Had a horrific experience at Gentle Dental (see my review of them) so I decided to cancel my Delta HMO plan and pay cash for a quality dentist. I chose Dr. Chang's office based on his great reviews. As a health care provider myself (Optometrist), I know what good care is and I couldn't have been happier with Dr. Chang's practice. Nice office, good location, pleasant staff and great Dentist. I highly recommend this practice and will definitely be going back! read more

My move to the desert necessitated establishing a relationship with a new dentist. I lucked out immediately finding Dr. Chang. His practice has everything: a skilled practitioner with a great personality, friendly and helpful staff, and an attractive, relaxing office environment. I particularly appreciated the staff checking on the amount of my insurance coverage in advance of the procedure so that there were no surprises as to what my charges would be. I highly recommend Dr. Chang to anyone looking for top quality dental care. read more

I was postponing major dental work well over a year and I knew that I couldn't wait any longer. I was comparing major dental insurance companies for an individual policy and found that they all were geared toward maintenance and limited to major dental and restorative dental coverage. Rip-Off! I was searching for a dentist with expertise with contemporary dental procedures - one who could do minor teeth extractions, cavity fillings and minor dental implants along with bone grafting, if needed. I wanted a dentist who could do all these procedures in the same office and would be fair and not over charge and stay within the dental code fees for my particular area in the desert, since Medicare does not cover nor offer excellent reciprocal dental insurance plans combined with their health insurance plan. I decided on Dr. Chang and so far it's been a positive experience. It is a clean and well kept dental clinic with a shaded under building parking area. On my initial appointment, after all of my dental x-rays were taken by one of his experienced dental assistants, Dr. Chang thoroughly examined all of my teeth and took his time explaining different options such as removable partials, bridge work, partial dentures and implants. Since my interest was in implants and not the old fashioned "wearing and soaking dentures in Polident" alternative - Dr. Chang was professional and honest as to what he could do and what he would not do depending on the thickness of my bone structure and specific nasal areas for dental implantations. A proposed treatment plan was explained with each step along with the dental codes with the dental fees with my initial consultation and cost comparisons if I went with a few implants with bridge work, etc. - all explained by another experienced dental assistant who was patient and understanding with the many questions I had asked her. My teeth were also cleaned on my first appointment by Dr. Chang's Dental Hygienist. My second appointment was for a removal of an aching decayed tooth and a surgical removal of broken cracked imbedded roots. In the past, I never was conscious for surgical teeth extractions - so I was nervous having broken, erupted and imbedded dental roots removed with local anesthesia. The extractions went well, along with the bone grafting and I now prefer to be conscious whenever it is economically ($) possible. Dr. Chang called me in the evening to see how I was doing and the next day the throbbing subsided and I had no pain. I'll have the stitches removed in a couple of days and I'll see when Dr Chang feels we can move on to step number two with other problem areas that I have on the other side of my mouth. Lessons learned - Don't postpone dental cleanings and repairs to cracked or minor cavities! I joined a dental discount plan with Aetna called Vital Savings by Aetna Program which provides members access to discounted fees with Dental providers who participate in the Aetna program. It's cheaper to enroll directly through the Aetna Company website: Vital Savings by Aetna. Just make sure you're on the Aetna website - not through an insurance agent like Dental Plans which over charges membership fees for the Aetna Vital Savings Discount Program. Dr. Chang's Dental firm is a participating provider with the Aetna Discount Program and has certain discounted services with some of the dental procedures. read more

I've been going to Dr. Chang for about a year and a half now and always find him and his staff to be pleasant, professional and prompt. I never wait long for a scheduled appointment. When I'm in the chair, Dr. Chang and his assistants always check in to see how I'm doing and are careful and thoughtful while doing procedures. Dr. Chang's offices are absolutely SPOTLESS and sterile...an important factor and the reason I left my previous dentist...Gentle Dental in Palm Springs. Dr. Chang's prices are very fair and I have recommended him to several friends and neighbors. They have all reacted very positively to having him as their dentist. read more

Great dentist and professional, capable office staff! I moved to the high desert recently and had to find a new dentist - so glad I found Dr Chang on Yelp. I needed a few things done in addition to my regular cleaning - they dealt with all of them in a timely manner, with all of my questions answered. This office works with you to confirm all insurance coverage and issues, and they are great to deal with on all levels. What a pleasure to find good customer service and a caring, competent professional like Dr Chang. read more
