We are located in Northern Virginia about 45 minutes directly west of downtown Washington DC and is run by Dr. Chang in solo practice. The practice itself is located on hospital grounds situated in the lovely tree-lined rural city of Warrenton, VA where one can even see the Appalachian mountains from our office. Many city amenities are available within a short 15 minute drive but without the traffic and hassle of big-city congestion.

Interest in general otolaryngology is a must with sub-specialty interest even better. Some facts that may be of interest:

  • Full-service ENT office with audiology, hearing aids, allergy testing, and allergy shots
  • Near-monopoly services in terms of ENT and allergy in the region. 1 of only 2 otolaryngologists in the county… no otolaryngology services in counties to the West. 1 of only 4 allergists in the county 
  • Office fully on electronic medical records
  • Office on hospital campus (one office and no satellite offices to cover)
  • Hospital and Radiology fully on electronic medical records & PACS, all accessible via iPhone and iPad
  • BrainLAB image guidance available
  • Office will be moving to a brand new medical office building (still on-campus) in near future with in-house ambulatory surgery center. Ownership opportunity available for both.

Washington Post Medical Mystery: Rare Severe Sore Throat Caused by Lemierre Syndrome


On Nov 3, 2009, the Washington Post Medical Mystery section published a story titled "Annoying bug turned out to be much more" where a 19 year old female presented with a sore throat which rapidly progressed to a blood clot in her jugular vein, pneumonia, and massive swelling in her neck.

What she ended up having was "Lemierre syndrome" suspected by the diagnosing doctor at Georgetown University Medical Center based on the two telltale symtoms of a jugular infection and presence of a blood clot.

Washington Post Medical Mystery: Pulsatile Tinnitus (Noises in the Ear)


The Washington Post on July 7, 2009 published a story on a lawyer who suffered from pulsatile tinnitus (hearing one's heartbeat in the ear) which was ultimately found to be due to a carotid artery dissection. A carotid artery dissection could have resulted in a serious ischemic stroke which thankfully did not happen.

The story goes thru his experiences in trying to find a diagnosis and treatment.

Keep in mind that pulsatile tinnitus is completely different from continuous tinnitus.
