Janessa Chang, MD

Janessa Chang, MD, is a board-certified physical medicine and rehabilitation physician who treats a wide range of conditions. Dr. Chang’s career in health care is inspired by a rheumatologist who addressed her concerns along with treating her symptoms. She realized that physicians are teachers too, providing education on how to live a physically, mentally and socially healthy life.

Away from work, she enjoys cooking, baking, painting, walking her dog and spending time with family. 

The conditions Dr. Chang treats include:

• Stroke
• Traumatic and non-traumatic brain injury
• Spinal cord injury
• Limb loss or amputations
• Inflammatory joint disease and myopathies
• Neuromuscular disease
• Geriatric and cardiopulmonary rehabilitation

As a rehab physician, I have the privilege of caring for individuals experiencing life-changing events. I believe that my duties go beyond treating and preventing diseases and complications with pharmaceuticals. I am committed to facilitating the healing process by actively listening, keeping patients informed and empowering them with the tools they need to increase their independence and improve their overall quality of life.
