The Voice Team for Your Vocal Care Needs

Christopher Y. Chang, MD — Read Bio / Resume

Dr. Chang is a laryngology and voice disorders fellowship-trained otolaryngologist. He personally performs a complete history and physical examination including video-stroboscopy. He is also the founder of the Virginia Voice and Speech Center and the Voice Team depicted here.

Diagnosis of a patient's hoarseness may take up to two separate visits. The first visit covers the basic history and physical examination which includes a fiberoptic laryngoscopy. At that point, a decision will be made whether to proceed with a stroboscopy examination. A stroboscopy examination is a comprehensive voice evaluation ~30 minutes in length of a patient's voice including a vocal cabability battery testing and a fiberoptic/rigid stroboscopic analysis of the voicebox and attendant vocal cord motion. This examination is digitally recorded and copies can be made for the patient. Decision on the kind of treatment will be made at that time and may require working with other members of the Voice Team. If you are self-pay, click here.

He has office hours on all days of the week and operates only on Tuesdays. He also performs Botox injections for patients with spasmodic dysphonia every Friday afternoon.
